@Troy I'll post up the Hatch Salt later when I'm home...
Here is my dads hatch chili recipe, lots of chili pure fire this one.
Dad's Excellent Green Chili Stew Recipe (this is a very flexible recipe, more of a concept than a formula)
4 pints of green chili pods, raw (2 pints cleaned green chile, Bueno)
8-10lbs pork shoulder (or butt)
3 yellow onions
1 head garlic, diced.
2 medium potatoes, diced.
salt (no black pepper, ever, with chili - it's a Law of Nature) to taste
1 tbsp cumin
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/4c all purpose flour.
Boil pork roast for about 2 hours in water 1" over meat; remove and cool. Add some bay leaf and/or salt if you like, you'll be using the stock. Save the liquid, strain into sauce pot.
Saute the onion and garlic, to carmelize, add to stock.
Peel and clean chili's, add to stock.
Add cumin and oregano to stock.
Crumble pork roast, cleaning off fat and bones to your preference, add to stock.
Add diced potatoes to stock.
Bring to boil. Simmer to reduce until moderately thickened. Mix flour and water to smooth consistency, add to stew. Stir, lower flame, simmer for as long as you like - I usually cook this brew for a few hours; it does well to marry.
So, there you have it. It takes about an hour to make, lasts a long while, freezes wonderfully, and I'll send my Dad's FinestGreen Chile Enchilada Casserole recipe when you're ready.
This recipe uses fresh foods w/excellent flavor, and does not prosper with more spices. It does, however, prosper with other dishes. I serve mine with white rice occasionally, to the horror of my New Mexican friends. Or with beans, or hash browns, and it's always served here with grated cheddar, diced onion, and lettuce.
