{"id":2239,"slug":"new-mexico-chili-verde","title":"New Mexico Chili Verde","description":"New Mexico Chile Verde is the most popular version of chili con carne in the U.S. state of New Mexico. While there apparently is no canonical recipe for Chile Verde (green chile), all versions involve roasting fresh green chile peppers and cooking them slowly with meat (usually pork but also beef, chicken, or turkey), garlic, oregano, and cumin. The consistency is usually much thinner than Texas-style chili and is sometimes listed on restaurant menus as \"green chile stew\". In addition to being eaten by the bowl (sometimes with pinto beans or diced potatoes added), Chili Verde often is treated as a condiment and is ladled over burritos, enchiladas, hamburgers, and fried eggs.","ingredients_raw":["2 green bell peppers, chopped (not frequently used in New Mexico)","4 large, mild green chile peppers","5 cups water","1 large can (16 oz) stewed tomatoes","2 tablespoons pork bouillon granules","1 tablespoon dried oregano","1 tablespoon whole cumin seeds","1 tablespoon coriander","8 oz ground pork","1 large onion, chopped","6 tablespoons butter or margarine","⅓ cup (240 ml) all-purpose flour"],"ingredients_norm":["green bell pepper","mild green chili pepper","water","stewed tomato","pork bouillon granule","dried oregano","whole cumin seed","coriander","ground pork","onion","butter or margarine","all purpose flour"],"steps":["Combine bell peppers, chili peppers, water, tomatoes, bouillon, oregano, cumin, and coriander in a large pot.
