Hi John

Very pretty peppers! About my hot peppers, I try to grow at least a few every season, different kind. Padron peppers did very well for me , I grew them for the past 2 seasons, they said that sometimes they can be sweet but I only got the very spicy ones, I pickled them and are great for cooking this way, take 1 or more at the time when needed. I also grew Hot Portugal that was middle heat. And I got gifted tabasco peppers that were hot and very ornamental, I made chili oil with them to use it in oriental dishes. When I was in Arizona, I always got hot peppers like poblano, that were roasted outside the supermarket where they also made fresh tortillas
and sold a big bag for about 2 bucks, they were very hot and smoky good for chile verde.-)

Silvia! Just a few hours ago my wife and I were looking for a recipe for chile verde made with roasted poblanos that I had made years ago. We never found it. I have three peppers, already roasted, waiting in the freezer. Would you share your recipe?
TIA john

Hi John

I have very complicated recipes somewhere in the collection of books that I have but I also have the easiest one to do and it always come out right. You can use any meat that you prefer chicken, beef or pork cut in pieces. Heat a little bit of oil and sauteed the pieces of meat, when brown add chopped onions and garlic, saute for a few more minutes till soft. Add a can of cream of mushroom soup and roasted peppers cut in strips or cubed. Cook till the meat is very tender. Stir from time to time and add water if necessary, add more seasonings to taste, salt, pepper or chili powder. At serving time you can add cilantro if you like.

Thank you, Silvia. I've drooled over some of the dishes of which you have posted photos. This nice cool weather we're having got me wishing for some Chile Verde. I have some tonight.

John, I like a pork chile verde Arizona style, the following recipe comes close to another ones that I like.
The recipe with the cream of mushroom was given to me by the milk man when delivering some cream, he said even his wife could make it, lol. I forgot to add cumin, I usually add with other spices like aji amarillo, when I find a source for this chili I always buy it.

Thanks again Silvia, The recipe we put together last night comes pretty close to the one you posted. I enjoyed it last night and tonight it was even better. Years ago, some young folk from the SW opened a resturant here called The Cactus Cantina. They served the best Chile Verde and I was their best customer. Sadly, I guess, their fare was a little spicy for DeLand and they moved on. This came pretty close.
