Green Chile

This is a very easy recipe. That being said, it's easy because I buy a bushel of fresh, roasted chiles in the fall and freeze them in 1 cup bags (for use in this dish). I have seen roasted green chiles in the freezer section of some grocery stores. But that is probably a regional item. i.e.; Jayne, I'm doubtful you'll find in your store.

2 Tbs. Olive oil

1 small onion, chopped

1 cup green chiles, chopped

2 Tbs flour

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp ground black pepper

1 Tbs olive oil, or as needed

1 cup stock, hot (beef, vegetable or chicken)

Saute onions in olive oil for 2 to 3 minutes, or until soft and golden. Add green chiles and saute 2 to 3 minutes more, reduce heat. In a small bowl, mix flour, salt, garlic and pepper. Add olive oil until it is a thick paste - a little thicker then heavy cream. Add this to the onions and chiles and cook 4 - 5 minutes. Add stock and stir. Bring to boil and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring often. Add more stock until desired consistency.
