As you here, let me share an exciting story with you about the Rudy’s green chili stew recipe! A few years back, I was out traveling on a trip to Texas along with my five college friends. In the afternoon, we stopped by a roadside BBQ restaurant and ordered brisket and green chilis. The taste was so impressive that we all tried the recipe within five days when we were back home! The flavor of this dish was literally rolling around me!
Yes, I’m talking about Rudy’s green chili stew, a highly flavorful chicken or beef base stew and served hot. Before me, no one ever tried stew with chilis in my family. So, it was something that satisfied me and impressed all my family members that day! Ah! That exotic meat and green chilis test was SPLENDID!
While talking about my version of this green chili stew recipe, Cincinnati chili recipe of America’s test kitchen is another recipe of this sort that you can try simultaneously.
Ingredients
- Tempeh (4 pounds; an excellent alternative for pork)
- Chicken Broth (4 pints)
- Finely diced green chilis (3 and ½ ounces)
- Taco Sauce (must be mild and green; 6 ounces)
- Finely sliced and quartered onions (1/4-inch thick; 2-3 pounds)
- Crushed red pepper (3 tablespoons)
- Salsa Fresca (2-3 pints)
- Powdered green chili (6 tablespoons)
- Finley diced and hot whole jalapenos; (2-3 pieces; veins and seeds removed)
- Cumin (2 tablespoons)
- Sugar (2-3 tablespoons)
- Tomato sauce (4 ta tablespoons; red)
- Tomatoes or tomatillos (11 ounces; stem and husks removed)
- To taste, pepper or salt
Instructions
- Firstly, take the tempeh and cut them into small pieces. Then take a Dutch oven to sauté the pieces of tempeh. When the tempeh pieces are partially cooked and feel greasy, stop cooking and drain tempeh pieces.
- Now, take a pan and cook the sliced onions in olive oil until they begin to wilt. When you see the onions have started to wilt, stop cooking immediately. Then put back the tempeh pieces in the pan. After that, add all other ingredients to the pan, but save some chicken broth for subsequent use.
- Place the pan over the skillet and start hitting until the ingredients start boiling.
- When the ingredients are simmered, place a lid over the pan and start cooking again. Cook for one and a half hours.
- Then, remove the lid and check if there is too much liquid. If you find too much liquid, remove it manually as you have already cooked it for the needed period.
- At this stage, if you want to thicken the mixture, you can add chicken broth. I usually do this every time, as I like the thick texture of green chili stew. So, consider wisely what you would like, or you can try both some time.
- As you have finished cooking the Rudy’s green chili stew recipe, it’s time to serve it. Now, you can serve it either with rice or hot and fresh tortillas. (If you need a special tortilla recipe, you can try the famous Lupe tortilla fajita recipe.)
Pro tips for making green chili stew
You can also cook this dish on 9 QT Dutch Oven or BGE if you want. In this case, you have to utilize the leg up off the plate setter very carefully. Keep something in your hand to lift or move the Dock of the setter if need be. Keep the temperature at 350-degree Fahrenheit during this time.
At last, light smoke the dish for 1.5-2 hours with the DO removed. Again, make sure to keep your eyes out on it so that it doesn’t get dry. If it still feels less thick, you can thicken it using beer or chicken broth, as I have mentioned earlier.
