SAM'S NO.3 KICKIN' GREEN CHILI

Steps:

• If roasting your own chiles: Preheat an outdoor grill to high. Place the Anaheim chiles on the grill and cook, turning to cook evenly, until the skins blister and blacken. Remove from the grill and place in a plastic bag. Seal the bag and let the chiles stand for 5 to 10 minutes. Remove the skin, stems and seeds and chop into 1/4-inch pieces.
• Heat some butter in a large pot and add the cubed pork. Cook about15 minutes, and then add the onions and spices. Cook on low heat, stirring occasionally. When the pork has cooked through, add the fresh tomatoes, canned tomatoes, green chiles and jalapenos, if using. Stir occasionally.
• After 5 minutes, add 8 cups water. Bring to a low boil. Stir occasionally. Increase the heat and bring the chili to a rolling or high boil.
• In separate pan, melt the butter or margarine and whisk in the flour, stirring until creamy.
• Slowly add the roux to the chili, stirring constantly, and shut off the heat. Continue to stir so that the roux is evenly distributed. (Roux amount can be adjusted depending on desired consistency or thickness.)
• Let stand 5 minutes and serve in a bowl or smothered!

GREEN CHILI CARBONARA

Steps:

• Start boiling enough water for your pasta.
• Salt your water.
• If not already done, cut open and seed your peppers, and then finely chop them and the green onions.
• In a large bowl, mix together eggs and Parmesan cheese until well blended, almost paste-like.
• Add green onion and peppers, mix.
• When pasta is al-dente, remove from heat and position next to your bowl with egg/cheese mixture.
• With a slotted spoon, put the pasta into the egg/cheese mixture, stirring constantly. Some of the pasta water will get in, but that is fine.
• Continue mixing until it makes a nice creamy sauce.
• Plate if desired and serve immediately.

GREEN CHICKEN CHILI

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the ground chicken and use a wooden spoon to break up the meat as it browns. Remove the chicken to a plate and set aside.
• Add the remaining tablespoon olive oil to the Dutch oven and reduce the heat to medium. Add the onion and jalapeño. Cook, stirring often, until the onions are translucent and tender, 5 to 6 minutes. Stir in the garlic, cumin and coriander and cook until the spices are fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the chicken broth, shredded chicken, cooked ground chicken, salsa verde, salt and pepper and use a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits on the bottom of the pan. Bring to a low boil, reduce the heat to a simmer and let simmer, stirring occasionally, 1 hour. Stir in the beans and half-and-half and continue to simmer, uncovered, until the liquid has reduced and the chili is thick, about 30 minutes.
• Serve with cheese skulls, tortilla chips, sour cream, cilantro and scallions.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Place a 6-count skull mold on a baking sheet.
• Sprinkle 1/4 cup cheese into each skull mold. Bake until the cheese has melted and the edges just begin to brown slightly, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Allow the skulls to cool for 2 minutes, then remove from the pan. Serve on top of a warm bowl of chili. Cheese Skull recipe courtesy of The Kitchen.
