Description

Though there is some prep work that goes into this chili, it's still a convenience in so many ways. For example, it can be made 2 or 3 days ahead. Also, it uses canned fire-roasted green chiles as the basis for the sauce and skips the laborious task of roasting and peeling your own.

Ingredients
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 cup onion (chopped)
  • 8 ounce yukon gold potato (peeled and cut into 1/3-inch cubes)
  • 8 ounce yam (red skinned sweet potato) (peeled and cut into 1/3-inch cubes)
  • 4 cloves garlic (flattened, peeled, and chopped)
  • 4 large tomatillos (husked, rinsed, cored, and chopped)
  • 2 large poblano chiles (stemmed, peeled; 1 diced, 1 cut into 4 strips)
  • 2 tablespoons dried Mexican oregano
  • 1 tablespoon all purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons cumin seeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 28 ounce hominy, canned with juices (golden)
  • 1 cup vegetable broth
  • 7 ounce mild green chiles, canned (diced)
Instructions
  1. 1
    Heat the oil in a heavy, large pot over medium heat. Add the onions, potatoes, yams, garlic, tomatillos, and poblanos.
  2. 2
    Cover and sweat until the onions are tender, stirring often to prevent browning, about 8 minutes.
  3. 3
    Mix in the oregano, flour, cumin, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
  4. 4
    Add the hominy with the juices and the broth and bring the chili to a simmer.
  5. 5
    Place the green chiles in a processor. Using tongs, transfer strips of the poblano chili from the pot to the processor; blend just until smooth. Scrape the chili sauce into the pot.
  6. 6
    Cover and simmer the chili 20 minutes. Uncover and simmer until the potatoes and yams are tender and the chili is reduced to desired consistency, stirring often, 20-25 minutes longer.
  7. 7
    Season with more salt and pepper if desired.
  8. 8
    Ladle the chili into bowls.
  9. 9

    Don't forget the Corn bread

Garnishes, such as crumbled feta cheese, chopped green onions, sliced avocados, lime wedges and chopped serrano chiles.
