Description

A smoky, spicy Hatch Chile Green Sauce that’s quick to make and perfect for enchiladas, burritos, or veggies.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 Tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
  • ½ cup yellow onion, diced
  • 1 jalapeño, diced (seeds removed for less heat)
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 8 ounces diced green chiles, mild or medium
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 ½ cups vegetable stock
  • 1 ½ Tablespoons flour

Instructions

1. Heat a medium pot over medium heat. Add 1 Tablespoon of oil.

2. Sauté onion and jalapeño until translucent, about 3–5 minutes.

3. Add garlic, green chiles, cumin, salt, and oregano. Cook 1 minute.

4. Transfer mixture to a blender. Add vegetable stock. Blend until smooth.

5. In the same pot, heat remaining 1 Tablespoon of oil. Stir in flour to make a roux.

6. Pour in blended chile mixture. Stir and simmer 3–5 minutes until slightly thickened.

Notes

You can use an immersion blender for convenience, but a traditional blender yields a smoother sauce.

Swap flour for ¾ Tablespoon cornstarch to make it gluten-free.

The sauce will taste slightly spicy on its own but mellows out when added to food.
