How to Make Green Chile Sauce

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 2 pounds of chopped green chiles, 4 cloves of minced garlic, 1 tablespoon of ground coriander, 1 medium chopped onion, and 1 teaspoon of ground cumin. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, until fragrant and slightly softened.
  2. Pour in 2 cups of chicken or vegetable stock. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the onions are tender.
  3. Remove from heat and let the sauce cool slightly. Once cooled, carefully transfer the mixture to a blender. Add 1/2 cup of packed fresh cilantro and 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter. Blend until completely smooth and creamy.
  4. Season generously with sea salt or coarse salt to taste. Adjust seasoning as needed.
