    HATCH CHILE SHORT RIB STEW PINTEREST

    This Hatch chile short rib stew with hominy and potatoes is simple in seasoning, relying on the unique flavor of New Mexico Chiles to flavor the dish. A simple stew of braised short ribs, chewy white hominy and chunks of potato. One of our favorite Hatch green chili recipes for a winter’s night meal.

    The Hatch Green Chiles Craze

    Each Fall, we celebrate the arrival of Hatch Green Chiles. Parking lots and roadside stands fire up their chile roasters with their huge rotating drums and the aromas of New Mexico fill the air.

    We evangelize and we obsess. We talk constantly about them and we add Hatch green chile to almost everything. We clear out our freezers to make room for as many packages of roasted Hatch Green Chile as we can possibly squeeze in.

    It never fails when I post a Hatch green chili recipe, I see comments with frowny faces indicating that many of you simply don’t have access to this Western pleasure. 🙁

    So if you’re one of those, or if you’re like me and nearing the end of a freezer stash (a very sad day indeed), did you know you could order the real deal delivered to your doorstep?

    Order frozen Hatch Chili for shipping

    Thanks so much to The Hatch Chile Store for sending me samples of these frozen New Mexico beauties.

    Let me tell you a little bit about this company.  They offer several different varieties of Hatch Chile, each with its own flavor and level of heat. Additionally, you can order their chile either Fresh (Not Roasted) or Frozen (Flame Roasted and Hand Peeled).

    The Hatch Chile store is the Berridge family owned operation. They currently farm over 300 acres of prime farmland in the New Mexico Hatch Valley, and have been in the produce business for over 60 years.

    Headquartered in Hatch, New Mexico, ensures that when you buy green chiles from them, you’re getting the very best chile straight from a family farm. The Berridge Farm has served the Santa Fe market for more than fifteen years selling thousands of pounds of fresh hatch green chiles. It’s the real Hatch deal.

    Order Hatch green chile

    Yes, those packages are big, so unless you’re feeding an army you’ll only need a small portion of that 2 1/2 pound package for your recipe. Microwave the frozen package for three minutes. This makes the chiles just soft enough to remove for the amount you need. Just pop the rest  back into the freezer for your next meal. Perfect.

    Ingredients

    • 4 pounds meaty beef short ribs
    • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
    • 1 Tablespoon vegetable oil
    • 1 pound Hatch Green Chile roasted, peeled and chopped
    • 1 onion peeled and finely chopped
    • 4 cloves garlic peeled
    • 8 cups beef broth
    • 2 large russet potatoes peeled and cubed
    • 1 15 ounce can white hominy drained
    • 1 teaspoon Mexican oregano
    Prevent your screen from going dark

    Instructions

    • Preheat the oven to 300° F. Season the meat with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a large, ovenproof pot over medium high heat until shimmering. Brown the meat on all sides, working in batches to avoid overcrowding. As the meat is browned, remove and transfer to a bowl or plate until all the meat is done.
    • Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the onions and garlic. Add a pinch of salt to release some of the juices from the onions. Cook 3 to 5 minutes, stirring often and scraping the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon to dislodge the browned bits.
    • Return the meat to the pan and add the stock and the green chile. Bring the mixture to a simmer, cover the pot with a lid and braise in the oven for 3 hours.
    • Remove the pot from the oven, add the potatoes and return to the oven for another 45 minutes, at which point the meat should be very tender and starting to break down in the broth. Remove from the oven and stir hominy and the oregano. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Use a ladle to skim off the fat if desired. If making a day ahead: Transfer the stew to another container to cool slightly, then refrigerate. Before reheating, skim off and discard the solid fat cap. Reheat gently and adjust seasoning if desired.

      We live on Coeur d Alene Lake in Idaho. Spokane Washington is our nearest town. De Leon Mexican food market in Spokane had two weekends when they were roasting chili’s. I picked up 26 pounds of hot chili’s. 20 lbs for a friend of mine who owns a small restaurant, and 3 lbs each for another foodie friend and myself. The hot chili’s are hot and I love hot. Next time I will get more but get a combo of medium and hot. I used two chili’s thinking that I can add more later. The pot is in the oven now. I first experience green chili stew when I lived in Santa Fe for a ski season. My landlord taught me how to make this stew with pork. I liked your idea with the meaty beef ribs. I think it elevates the dish to something that can be served for dinner guests. I have friends coming this afternoon one of whom is a chef. I will let you know how it turns out.

        Thanks so much for your message Kelly. And yay that you can find those chiles. I usually get a combo of hot/medium also. They’re a great freezer stash for winter food. Thanks for stopping in.

      I’ve got fresh-roasted Hatch chilies in my freezer! They are available in Oregon too and bought a bunch last month when they came out. Pinning to remind me to make this. 🙂

        Thank you Kathryn. So glad to hear you’ve got a stash of those wonderful chile’s. And that Oregon is able to get them shipped to the great Northwest.

        I agree about those short ribs Heather. Don’t know why I don’t buy them more often.

        I totally understand my fortunate situation of having Hatch chile roasters all over our city. You’ll have to come out for a visit next Fall and we’ll load you up.
