COLORADO GREEN CHILI (CHILE VERDE)
My version of my mother's green chili. I like to serve it over oven-baked burritos or with beans and rice. If you can't find a chile roaster, look for frozen diced chiles at your supermarket. You can also freeze fresh roasted chiles for off-season use.

Steps:
- Heat the olive oil in a Dutch oven or large pot over medium-high heat. Season the pork with salt and pepper to taste, then place into the hot oil. Cook until golden brown on all sides, about 7 minutes. Once browned, remove the pork and set aside. Reduce heat to medium, and stir in the onion and garlic. Cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Return the pork to the pot, and stir in the green chiles, diced tomatoes with juice, tomatillo salsa, and chicken broth. Season with oregano and clove. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer 20 minutes.
- After 20 minutes, remove 2 cups of the soup (ensure there are no pork cubes in it), and pour into a blender. Hold down the lid of the blender with a folded kitchen towel, and carefully start the blender, using a few quick pulses to get the soup moving before leaving it on to puree. Puree until smooth, then pour back into the cooking pot. This will create a thicker texture for your chili and will eliminate some of the chunky bits of chiles. Continue to simmer, stirring occasionally until the pork is very tender, at least 35 minutes more.

ROASTED GREEN CHILES
Chiles are a Mexican food staple and are found in numerous recipes. They are charred and then steamed, making removing the skin easier.

Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- Begin by preparing your heat source. You will need something extremely hot to char the chiles with. An open flame-such as a grill-is best, but you can also roast them in a hot pan or under a broiler.
- Turn up the heat and begin roasting chiles by turning them frequently over heat source. Roast them until the skins are blackened and blistering.
- The skins do not need to be solid black, just blackened in areas and the rest of the skin should appear loosened and browned.
- It should take about 10 minutes over an open flame or in a broiler, and 15 to 20 minutes if you roast them in a pan.
- Once skin is thoroughly charred, remove chiles from heat source and place in a bowl.
- Cover bowl loosely to allow hot roasted chiles to create steam. You can cover bowl with aluminum foil, a lid, or a dishtowel.
- Let chiles steam for about 10 minutes. This helps to loosen skins even more, but this step can be skipped if time is of the essence.
- When chiles have cooled enough to where you can touch them, begin peeling off the skin. It should peel off easily, but if it is being stubborn, you can run the chile under warm water while peeling. This will remove some of the chiles flavorful oils and should only be done if the skin is hard to remove.
- If you are using green chiles for rellenos (stuffed chiles), use a knife to cut a 2-inch slit from stem and down side and use a spoon to carefully scoop out seeds. Roasted chiles tear very easily, so go slowly and take your time.
- If using the chiles for anything else, you can cut off stem portion and slit remaining chile down the entire side to open it up.
- Use a spoon to scrape off seeds. Discard seeds and stems and use roasted green chile in your recipe.

Steps:
- Rinse and drain chilies.
- Make a steam vent in each by using a toothpick or an ice pick.
- Place chilies on a foil-covered cookie sheet and set it 4 to 6 inches below the broiler unit.
- Roast chilies, turning them frequently until they are uniformly blistered.
- Remove chilies from oven, place in a bowl and cover with a cold, damp towel (to steam them) for 10 minutes.
- Starting at stem end, peel the outer skin downward. Remove the stem and the seeds, if desired. If preparing chili for rellenos (stuffing), the stem end should be left intact.
- The chili is now ready for freezing or to use in any recipe.
- Green chilies may be frozen after the skins are blistered and before peeling. The skins slip off quite easily when the chilies are thawed.

Steps:
- If roasting your own chiles: Preheat an outdoor grill to high. Place the Anaheim chiles on the grill and cook, turning to cook evenly, until the skins blister and blacken.
