How to Make Chile Verde Green Chile Sauce
- Heat 2 tablespoons of shortening in a medium-sized skillet over medium heat.
- Sauté 1 medium onion, chopped, in the shortening until softened (about 5 minutes).
- Add 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
- Add 4 cups of canned diced green chiles, 1 (15-ounce) can of fire-roasted diced tomatoes, 1 cup of chicken broth, 1 teaspoon of cumin, 1/2 teaspoon of oregano, 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper (or more, to taste), and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Bring to a simmer.
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency. Stir occasionally.
- Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Add more cayenne pepper for extra heat, salt for savoriness, or a touch of sugar to balance the acidity.
