Recipe Monday... err.. Tuesday?!

Sorry, I forgot yesterday was Monday. You see, Sunday was Valentine's Day and then yesterday was my hubster's birthday... so it was kind of a crazy weekend! Forgive me for forgetting the recipe yesterday?! I actually forgot it was Monday until this morning!

So here it is, the Green Chile Chorizo Taco Recipe... SUPER YUMMY!

Green Chile Chorizo
Ingredients

1 large fresh poblano chile
1 or 2 fresh serrano chiles, stemmed and roughly chopped
1 medium bunch of cilantro, roughly chopped
1 1/2 pounds ground pork
2 teaspoons salt

Instructions

1. Prepare the flavorings. Roast the poblano chile directly over a gas flame or 4 inches below a very hot electric broiler, turning regularly until blistered and blackened all over, about 5 minutes for an open flame, about 10 minutes for the broiler. Cool until handle able, rub off the blackened skin, tear open and pull out the stem and seed pod. Quickly rinse to remove any seeds or bits of skin. Roughly chop and scoop into a food processor, along with the serrano(s) and cilantro. Pulse until uniformly chopped, then run the machine until you have a coarse puree.

2. Finish the sausage. In a large bowl, combine the pork with the green seasonings and the salt—your hand is the most efficient utensil for working the seasonings thoroughly into the meat. Cover and refrigerate for several hours before frying to sprinkle over queso fundido, into soups or over huevos rancheros.

Makes 1.5lbs.
