green chiles for breakfast lunch and dinner!

[Kali]

finally got a load of chiles yesterday (there have been distractions, including a snake-bit cat). between 35 and 50 lbs, we lean to the 35 end, seller claimed 50. at $1/lb roasted I am ok with whatever it was. took me 4 hours to mostly peel and repackage in ~ 1 lb packages. about 10 packages weren't peeled that well but will be fine to use for stews and such, the peels eventually kind of float away. I didn't stem or seed most of them unless they were already split and falling apart. my anal retentiveness is still bothering me about it but the husband reassured it would be fine (guilty because he was only supposed to bring 25 lb and that was a lot of work!)

anyway, dinner last night - 2.5 lb pork shoulder roast cut in chunks, ~ 10 chiles, couple cloves of garlic, salt, pepper, a few ounces of water and simmered for 3 hours. served with rice or flour tortillas. greasy, porky, just right heat chiles. YUM!

breakfast was a leftover baked potato, 2 more chiles, and big pile of cheese nuked to melty gooey deliciousness. again YUM!

lunch will be leftover pork and rice, and then I probably should have a fresh green salad for dinner LOL











oh and the cat finally ate on his own today so he is out of the crate for a reward. hope he stays out of trouble!

5. the other night I made chiles stuffed with sweet corn, cotilla cheese, jack cheese...

...first you saute corn kernels and diced onion with a little butter, then mix with cotilla cheese and sour cream, stuff into raw chiles and add a stick of jack cheese stuck in, too. Roast in 400 oven until brown and yum yum.

And that sounds like a winner.

7. Looks Divine!

We've had marvelous green chile stews four or five times this summer, but usually with canned *gasp* chiles.

8. Poblano chillies?

What a score. I've been buying 3-4 at at a time and making Green Chilli Salsa to pour on everything from omelet burritos to taco salads.

What a score. I've been buying 3-4 at at a time and making Green Chilli Salsa to pour on everything from omelet burritos to taco salads. Pulled pork sammies, quesadillas and excellent with chips.

10. When I first moved to NM, I was actually bothered about green chile in everything

including bagels, something that sent me into culture shock. However, the truth is that food at this altitude tastes like airline food unless you put chile into it. Even my old delicate French recipes require a tiny pinch of cayenne or they taste like wallpaper paste.

Fortunately, I've always been a chilehead, so it wasn't that much of a shock. The bagels did throw me for a loop, though.
