New Mexico Green Chile Sauce

Description:
Red and Green Chili are the building blocks of Northern New Mexican cooking.

Ingredients:
8 large fresh green chilies
2 cloves garlic, minced
salt to taste

Directions:
Heat oven to 500 degrees. Place chilies directly on oven racks and roast until the skins brown. Turn chilies over and roast the other side, being careful not to let them burn. Remove from the oven and place in a large bowl, cover with
wet dish towel and let steam for about 45 minutes. Slip the skins off and remove as many seeds as possible. Place the chilies on a cutting board and dice; mix in the garlic and salt to taste. BE CAREFUL NOT TO TOUCH YOUR EYES WITHOUT FIRST WASHING YOUR HANDS AS THE CHILI JUICE CAN BURN YOUR EYES.
The green chili is now ready to use as a relish for hamburgers or sandwiches.
It may be heated and used on burritos, quesadillas,or tostadas. Add a little water or broth to it and it becomes a soup or a sauce. As soup it is referred to as a Bowl Of Green.
*The above sauces can also be made with meat.
Brown about 3/4 pound of cubed or ground meat of your choice in a small amount of oil, drain excess fat. Add meat to chili.
