Going Green

[Bill W. Michigan]

I just didn't know what to make today. I got a beautiful sunny day with the temperature hovering around 45 degrees. No snow on the ground. Up here in northern Michigan all of that is unheard of in February.

Saw a recipe for Chili Verde from this website Dad Cook's Dinner and I was planning to do it someday until I went to my local butcher and found this. At 99 cents a pound how can you go wrong?

Got all the rest of the ingredients ready for some green chili. I couldn't find all the ingredients so I just improvised.

Time to roast the greens.

Toss everything into the food processor and after a few seconds I have the base that I put aside while I started cooking the meat. Seasoned and smoked with hickory.

I took it off the grill and diced it into bite size pieces, then put it back on the grill in a dutch oven.

After it was cooked I added the green, then brought it inside and added some chicken broth. Let it simmer on the stove while I cooked some Jalapeno cornbread in a CIS and it came out perfect if I don't say so myself.

A little cheese & sour cream

Here's Your Plate.....

Absolutely love it! This is making me rethink my Super Bowl menu. Great job and thanks for sharing!

 

[Joe InJersey]

99 cents a pound never looked so good!

I am a cornbread connoisseur. That one looks OUTSTANDING!

Great cook.

 

[Mike Coffman]

Super delicious looking meal! Great job!

 

[Jon Des.]

Fantastic! I could've made a meal on that bowl of green stuff in your food processor.

 

[John Solak]

Awesome looking meal! Chili Verde is of my favorite Mexican sauces.

 

[Kim Drana]

WOW!! Do it again on St. Pats Day! I want a bowl...

Great Chili but fantastic looking cornbread!

Well done!

Ever since i saw Don Cash made this i know that i had to try it out. But i cant find any tomatillo´s. Last summer we even looked for seeds to grow our own...But NO one had em.

Amazing post Bill! Bet it was FANTASTIC!

 

[Bill W. Michigan]

Thanks Everyone I'll be eating this for the Superbowl tonight

Daniel here is a link for Tomatillo Seeds I just don't know if they ship to Sweden. If they don't let me know and I'll get them to you somehow.

Bill;
I thoroughly enjoyed this presentation.

The only thing better was if I had a bowl in front of me.

The corn bread looks fantastic. I am definitely a corn bread kind of guy (all of my people came from Appalachia).

A number of years ago, I was flyfishing in Cherokee (Smoky Mountains) with an Indian guide. We had a trout lunch along the creek. The guide cooked corn bread just like I grew up with (my family apparently got the recipe from the Cherokee Indians generations ago).

At any rate, it was about as good as it gets. Your presentation reminded me of that trip.

Daniel, I wish there was a substitute for tomatillo, but I can't think of one. I suppose unripened green tomatoes (make sure you cook them) would be closest. The tomatillo is related to the cape gooseberry, a S. American fruit. I thought Thai eggplant might be similar enough, but no go:
