Total Time52 minutes
Ingredients
5 hatch green chiles (to yield approximately 1 cup when chopped) rinsed and dried
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
4 ounces (113 grams) yellow onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, peeled and grated
1 teaspoon all-purpose flour
1 cup (236 ml) vegetable stock
1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat broiler.
Spread the chiles on a baking sheet. Place under the broiler, about 5 inches from the heat and broil until the skins are charred. Turn the chiles and repeat.
Remove the chiles and place them in a bowl. Cover with plastic wrap or a lid so they can steam for 15 minutes.
After 15 minutes, remove the skins by wiping with paper towel. Remove the stem and seeds and chop.
To a sauté pan, add vegetable oil. Add the onion and sauté until starts to soften. Add garlic, cook for 1 minute. Sprinkle in the flour, stir and cook for 1 minute. Add the stock while whisking to prevent lumps. Add the chopped chiles and salt. Bring to a boil and simmer for 15 minutes until thickened. Transfer to a bowl and allow to cool.
Once cool, transfer to a container with a lid and refrigerate for up to 1 week.
