Green Chili

Green Chili

For my 50th recipe on this blog I thought I'd do my green chili. Mine is quite different from the traditional one since I didn't actually look up an existing recipe before I came up with it. Unlike most recipes, mine is actually green thanks to pureed chilies. In the past I've made a huge batch in a ceramic Dutch oven, but I scaled it down to a single serving made in a mini pressure cooker. For this I used some pre-made beef bone broth and vegetable broth that I had in my refrigerator, but I've provided instructions on how to make your own broth. Any pre-made broth or stock will work for this recipe if you just want to buy it. Green tomatoes and green habaneros might be tricky to find if you don't live near a Publix. For those who live by a Sprouts, they have on-the-vine heirloom tomatoes in different colors, and sometimes they'll have an unripe one that you can grab(a green tomato is an unripe tomato). You can also use red or orange habaneros without messing up the color as long as the rest of the peppers are green. For this I used 1 green jalapeño, 2 serranoes, and 1 green habanero.I could have made it more green by using a poblano as well. The types of green chilies you want to use varies based on how much spice you want. Poblanos have almost no spice, jalapenos are mild, serranoes are medium, and habaneros are hot. You can reduce the heat by removing the seeds from the peppers. I like mine spicy, so I included a large habanero with the seeds in.
