It's Too Yummy Tuesday!
On select Tuesdays I share delicious recipes either inspired by my books or that are just plain delicious! Today I'm happy to have special guest JC Conway, author of Hearts in Ruin, who's here to share a recipe for New Mexico chili. Take it away!
Hearts
in Ruin New
Mexico Green Chile Stew
My new novel, Hearts
in Ruin, takes place in and around an archaeological dig in the New Mexico
desert. New Mexico is a breathtaking place of ancient beauty and from its
high-desert climate comes some of the best Green Chile in the world. This
recipe is easy to make and accentuates the rich flavor of New Mexico Green
Chile. There is no one way to make Green Chile Stew. But this version is the
basic, every-day variety that remains my favorite.
Ingredients
1 tbsp. Olive Oil
2 lbs. ground turkey
meat*
3 large potatoes, red or
white, cubed
1 large onion, chopped
3 Garlic cloves, minced
1-3 cups (1 cup hot, 2
cups medium, or 3 cups mild) roasted, peeled, chopped New Mexico Green Chile
Salt to taste
2-3 pinches ground black
pepper
Water
*We use turkey burger, which blends well with the Chile and
garlic and does not require draining grease. But other ground or cubed meat can
be used.
Directions
1. Heat oil in pot over medium-low heat. Add the ground meat,
onion and garlic. Cook for about 3- 4 minutes, stirring frequently, to brown
the meat and prepare the onion and garlic.
2. Add the green chili, potatoes, salt and pepper. Stir well
for about a minute.
3. Add water to cover everything. Bring to boil and reduce
to simmer. Cook for about 20 minutes, until potatoes are just soft.
4. Serve with warmed tortillas. Optionally garnish with
cilantro, chopped tomatoes or cheese.
