green chiles for breakfast lunch and dinner! [View all]
finally got a load of chiles yesterday (there have been distractions, including a snake-bit cat). between 35 and 50 lbs, we lean to the 35 end, seller claimed 50. at $1/lb roasted I am ok with whatever it was. took me 4 hours to mostly peel and repackage in ~ 1 lb packages. about 10 packages weren't peeled that well but will be fine to use for stews and such, the peels eventually kind of float away. I didn't stem or seed most of them unless they were already split and falling apart. my anal retentiveness is still bothering me about it but the husband reassured it would be fine (guilty because he was only supposed to bring 25 lb and that was a lot of work!)
anyway, dinner last night - 2.5 lb pork shoulder roast cut in chunks, ~ 10 chiles, couple cloves of garlic, salt, pepper, a few ounces of water and simmered for 3 hours. served with rice or flour tortillas. greasy, porky, just right heat chiles. YUM!
breakfast was a leftover baked potato, 2 more chiles, and big pile of cheese nuked to melty gooey deliciousness. again YUM!
lunch will be leftover pork and rice, and then I probably should have a fresh green salad for dinner LOL
oh and the cat finally ate on his own today so he is out of the crate for a reward. hope he stays out of trouble!
