Green Chili



Tip:  Read directions completely before preparing

Ingredients:

4 (4 oz) cans of Hatch Fire Roasted Green Chilies, chopped coarsely
1 (14-ounce) can whole tomatoes, drained, coarsely chopped
4 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 cups chopped onions
6 large cloves garlic, minced finely
2 teaspoons dried oregano
2 teaspoons fresh ground comino (cumin) seeds
1 teaspoon celery salt
5 cups chicken stock
3 pounds pork shoulder, cut into 1/2-inch chunks
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
salt to taste

Directions:

Open cans of chilies and tomatoes, drain and chop coarsely, then set aside.

Chop onion coarsely and set aside.

Heat 1 tablespoon oil in pressure cooker, over medium-high heat until shimmering, then add onions and cook, stirring occasionally until softened, about 4 minutes.

Add garlic, comino, celery salt, cilantro and oregano and cook, stirring frequently until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Add chopped chilies, tomatoes, only 3 1/2 cups of the chicken stock, and pork.  Seal pressure cooker and cook at high pressure for 20 minutes.  Safely release pressure as per pressure cooker instructions.

Remove lid from pressure cooker and skim off the fat.  Continue to cook without lid until liquid is reduced to half, about 30 - 35 minutes.

Heat remaining 3 tablespoons oil in a small saucepan over medium heat, then add flour and using a whisk stir constantly until very light brown in color, about 3 minutes.  Slowly add remaining 1 1/2 cups of the chicken broth and stir constantly with whisk until it is smooth.

Once the liquid has reduced in the pressure cooker add the smooth flour mixture and stir well.

Lower heat to medium low and continue to simmer chili until desired texture is reached.  Season to taste with a little more salt.  Enjoy!
