- INTRODUCTION
-
-
-New Mexican cooking is unique to New Mexico. Stacked enchiladas topped
-with an egg and smothered in pungent red sauce, tender sopaipillas, rich
-and meaty posole stew, green chile, and blue corn tortillas. These
-dishes have been mainstays of New Mexicans for generations, some
-remaining classics and some having changed with time, but all retaining
-their original essence.
-
-In New Mexico Magazine’s _The Best from New Mexico Kitchens_, we give
-you a big helping of good New Mexico cooking from Indian-Spanish basics
-to haute cuisine. In our second cookbook, _More of the Best from New
-Mexico Kitchens_, we offer variations on classic New Mexico dishes,
-forgotten favorites of the pioneers, and familiar recipes with new
-twists. They range from the supremely simple to more sophisticated
-versions. We have specialties from restaurants big and small—places you
-may have visited yourself—and from good cooks all over the state.
-
-As a special premium for new subscribers to New Mexico Magazine, we have
-put together _A Taste of New Mexico Kitchens_, a small sampling of
-favorite New Mexican recipes from both cookbooks. We want to share these
-recipes with you—the subscribers of New Mexico Magazine—with our
-compliments.

- FRIJOLES
-
-
-One would think that a boiled bean is a boiled bean. But it’s not that
-simple, of course. Each cook thinks his or her way is the best—and
-only—method.
-
-Those who advocate the overnight soak will do it this way: Take 2 cups
-of dry pinto beans, pick them over, and wash them. Cover with cold water
-and soak overnight. Drain and rinse well. Put in a large pot with about
-8 cups of water and 2 tablespoons of lard. Bring to a boil and simmer
-gently, covered, for about 1½ hours, then test for tenderness. Stir in 2
-teaspoons of salt. Depending on how long the beans were soaked and how
-high your altitude is (the temperature at which things boil goes down as
-altitude goes up), you may have to cook the beans for up to another
-hour, adding more water if needed. Serve beans, broth and all, in bowls.
-Top with red or green chile salsa.
-
-Most people do it this way: Pick over the 2 cups of dry pinto beans and
-wash them. Put beans, 8 cups of water, and 2 tablespoons of lard in a
-big pot. Some folks like to add 2 cloves of garlic. Bring to a boil,
-cover, and simmer for 2 hours, 2½ if you are at a high altitude. Stir in
-2 teaspoons of salt. (If you add salt too early in the cooking, your
-beans will be too tough.) Continue cooking, adding water as necessary,
-until beans are tender. Serve as above.
-
-Another way to cook your pinto beans is in the pressure cooker. Pick
-over 2 cups of dry pinto beans and wash them. Put beans, 8 cups of water
-and 2 tablespoons of lard into a large pressure cooker. Bring to a boil
-and boil gently for 10 minutes without the lid on. Remove from heat,
-cover, and let the beans stand for about 2 hours, or until an hour
-before you intend to eat. Add 2 teaspoons salt, cover and bring the
-pressure up to 15 pounds. Cook for 10 minutes (15 or more at high
-altitudes). Allow pressure to drop normally. Serve as above, and think
-of the energy you’ve saved.

-
- FRIJOLES
-
-
-This is the basic bean recipe.
-
- 3 cups pinto beans
- 4 quarts water
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 cup diced salt pork
- Salt
-
-Wash beans well, cover with water and soak overnight. Drain. Put beans,
-water, garlic and salt pork—but not salt—in a large heavy kettle. Cover
-tightly, bring to a boil, and simmer for about 1½ hours or until the
-beans are tender but not mushy. Add boiling water during the cooking if
-necessary and stir occasionally. When the beans are done, remove lid,
-turn up heat and cook until all liquid has been absorbed. Add salt to
-taste.
-
-
-
-
- FRIJOLES REFRITOS
-
-
-Many people think that beans are at their best on the second day, when
-they are served as refried beans. Philomena, who has a well-known
-restaurant of the same name in Los Alamos, recommends this classic
-method. To 2 tablespoons bacon drippings add 2 cups day-old cooked pinto
-beans. Use a potato masher for mashing and stirring beans as they fry.
-When beans are thoroughly hot, add 4 cup grated cheddar or jack cheese.
-Continue stirring until cheese has melted. Serve hot. Some New Mexicans
-also like to fry a small minced onion in the fat before adding the
-beans. Whatever method you use the resulting dish is delicious.

-
- CLASSIC NEW MEXICO RED ENCHILADAS
-
-
- 12 blue corn tortillas
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil
- 3-4 cups red chile sauce (see page 17)
- 3 cups grated longhorn cheese
- 2 small onions, minced
- 4 eggs (optional)
-
-Fry tortillas in oil until soft and drain on paper towels. Heat chile
-sauce. Layer tortillas on serving plates, topping each with grated
-cheese and minced onions and sauce. Stack 3 per serving plate and top
-with cheese and sauce. Put plates in oven to allow cheese to melt.
-Meanwhile, fry eggs in remaining oil. Top each enchilada stack with a
-fried egg. Serve immediately. Serves 4.
-
-
-
-
- GREEN CHILE ENCHILADAS
-
-
- 6 blue corn tortillas
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 1 clove garlic
- 2 cups green chile sauce
- 1 tablespoon flour
- 2 cups grated longhorn or jack cheese
- ¼ cup minced onion
- Salt to taste
-
-Heat the tortillas on a hot griddle and keep warm under a tea towel.
-Heat the garlic in the oil, then discard garlic. Blend flour into oil.
-Stir in green chile sauce (see page 15 for recipe) and heat thoroughly.
-If mixture is too thick, add water. Add salt to taste. Layer tortillas
-with sauce, minced onion and cheese on ovenproof plates. Sprinkle cheese
-on top. Place in oven to allow cheese to melt. Serves 2. For a real New
-Mexico touch, place a poached or fried egg on top. The egg has the
-quality of melding all the flavors.
-
-
-
-
- CHICKEN SOUR CREAM ENCHILADAS
-
-
- 12 corn tortillas
- 4 cups green chile sauce
- 3 cups minced cooked chicken
- 1 pound jack cheese, grated
- ¼ cup minced onion (optional)
- Salt to taste
- 1 pint sour cream
-
-Heat tortillas on a hot griddle and keep warm under a tea towel. Or heat
-the tortillas in oil and drain well on paper towels. Mix one cup of the
-chile sauce (see page 15 for recipe) with the chicken. Put ¼ cup of the
-chicken mixture on each tortilla and roll it up. Place in an oblong
-baking dish. Cover the enchiladas with the grated cheese. Add the onion,
-if desired, and salt to taste to the remaining chile sauce and pour over
-the enchiladas. Bake at 350 degrees F for about 20 minutes. Smother with
-sour cream and return to oven for 10 minutes, or until everything is
-hot. Serve immediately. Serves 6.
-
-
-
-
- POSOLE SANDOVAL
-
-
-Posole is whole hominy, and in New Mexico it is cooked with pork into a
-thick stew. The first time you taste it, you may be unimpressed. The
-second time, well, you think that perhaps another helping would go down
-well. The third time—you’re hooked. Like the rest of us, you won’t think
-that Christmas Eve or a feast day of any kind is complete without a big
-bowl of steaming posole. Richard C. Sandoval, who grew up in Nambé,
-prepares his holiday posole this way. Richard uses frozen posole, but if
-you can’t find that, perhaps you can find dried posole. Failing that,
-you might make do with canned hominy, which, of course, won’t need to
-cook as long as the other varieties. But, as Richard points out, it
-won’t taste as good, either!
-
- 2 pounds frozen posole
- 2 pounds pork roast, cut up
- dash of oregano
- 3-4 dry red chile pods, broken up
- salt to taste
-
-Rinse posole well. Put posole, oregano, and chile pods in a large pot.
-Add cold water to about 2 inches above the corn. Heat to a boil and cook
-for 20 minutes. Add the meat, reduce heat, and simmer for about 3 hours,
-until meat is cooked and kernels are soft but not mushy. (You might need
-less time at lower altitudes than Santa Fe’s.) Stir frequently and add
-water as needed. Salt to taste at end. Serve in bowls and pass the chile
-sauce. Or use as an accompaniment to a dinner of enchiladas, tamales,
-frijoles, and chiles rellenos.
-
-
-
-
- THE SHED’S POSOLE STEW
-
-
- 1 pound lean pork shoulder
- 2 pounds frozen posole (hominy)
- Juice of one lime
- 2 tablespoons coarse red chile
- 3 cloves garlic
- ¼ teaspoon dried oregano
- 3 tablespoons salt
-
-Cook the pork in a pressure cooker, with water to cover, for 20 minutes.
-Reduce pressure under cold water. Open pot and add posole, lime juice
-and chile. Add water—about twice as much as the amount of posole. Cook
-for 45 minutes under pressure. Reduce pressure under cold water. Remove
-the pork and cut up. Put posole, pork, garlic, oregano and salt in a
-large, heavy covered pot and simmer for 1 to 3 hours, or until hominy
-kernels have burst and are soft but not mushy. Serve alone or as a side
-dish. Freezes well. Note: These times are set for Santa Fe’s high
-altitude. At lower altitudes, where the boiling point is higher, you may
-wish to try shorter cooking times at first.

-
-
-
- POSOLE ORTIZ
-
-
-Everyone has his own special recipe for posole. This is the way Willie
-and June Ortiz prepare it at _La Tertulia_ in Santa Fe—and good it is.
-
- 2 cups frozen white posole (hominy)
- 1 quart water
- 1 pound pork shoulder or chops
- ⅛ teaspoon oregano
- 1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
- ⅓ cup chopped onion
- 4 dried red chile peppers, crumbled
- Salt
-
-Mix all ingredients in a large, heavy pot. Bring to a boil and simmer,
-covered, for about 2½ hours or until the kernels are soft but not mushy.
-Salt to taste. Serves 4.
-
-
-
-
- DELLA’S TACOS
-
-
-_Della’s Spanish Dining Room_ in Farmington is one of the most popular
-restaurants in northwestern New Mexico. But Della Chávez throws up her
-hands in dismay and laughs at the idea of writing down her recipes. One
-must watch to see how it is done, she says. This is how she prepares her
-tacos.
-
-Take ground chuck and brown it in the frying pan, draining off excess
-fat. One pound of meat will probably fill six tortillas. Season the meat
-with _salsa_—made with chopped peeled tomatoes, garlic, salt, chopped
-onions, chopped red chiles. (The quantities, Della implies, will depend
-on one’s own taste.)
-
-When the meat is ready, warm tortillas on a grill. Place in a bowl and
-cover with a towel. They’ll steam themselves soft. Fold the tortillas in
-half and stuff with meat. Pin with wooden toothpicks.
-
-Fry the tacos in very hot deep fat (perhaps 375-400 degrees F) for just
-a minute. Turn over, then remove and drain. Remove toothpicks and stuff
-with grated longhorn cheese (perhaps a half pound for 6 tacos), shredded
-lettuce and finely chopped tomatoes, in that order. Serve.
-
-
-
-
- CHICOS
-
-
-Chicos are sweet corn kernels that have been dried and saved for winter.
-This dish is popular in the Spanish-speaking villages of northern New
-Mexico.
-
- 2 cups chicos
- 10 cups water
- 2 pounds pork
- 1 onion, minced
- 1 clove garlic
- ½ teaspoon oregano
- 4 chile pods
- 2 teaspoons salt
-
-Wash chicos and soak overnight. Drain and cover with 5 cups of water.
-Bring to a boil and simmer for about an hour. Meanwhile, cut pork in
-1-inch cubes and fry until brown. Drain fat. Stir in a cup or 2 of water
-(to gather up the flavorful bits at the bottom of the pan). Pour meat,
-garlic, oregano, washed and crushed chile pods, salt to taste and
-remaining water in with chicos. Cover and simmer for 2½ hours or until
-chicos are tender. (Or use the pressure cooker and cook for about 1
-hour.) Serve in soup bowls. Serves 6.
-
-
-
-
- QUELITES
-
-
-If you have access to wild spinach, that’s really what you should use in
-this recipe. But most people make do with the “tame” kind.
-
- ½ pound fresh spinach
- or 1 10-ounce package frozen spinach
- 1 tablespoon shortening
- 3 tablespoons chopped onion
- ¼ teaspoon crushed red chile
- Salt to taste
-
-Wash spinach well, chop and steam about 10 minutes or until tender.
-Saute the onion in shortening, mix in drained spinach, chile and salt,
-and cook for an additional 5 minutes. Serves 2 to 3.
-
-
-
-
- CHALUPAS EL PARAGUA
-
-
-In Española’s _El Paragua_, Luis and Frances Atencio make chalupas this
-way.
-
- 1 corn tortilla
- Vegetable oil
- ¼ cup refried beans
- Shredded chicken
- ¼ cup grated longhorn cheese
- ¼ cup guacamole
- Shredded lettuce
- ¼ tomato
- 2 tablespoons sour cream
- Black olives
- Onion rings
- Paprika
-
-Fry the tortilla and place on an ovenproof plate. Spread with refried
-beans, then chicken, then cheese. Slide under broiler to melt cheese.
-Quickly cover with guacamole (mashed seasoned ripe avocado), lettuce,
-tomato cut in bits, and sour cream. Decorate with black olives and
-Bermuda or Spanish onion rings. Dust cream with paprika. Serve
-immediately. Serves 1.
-
-
-
-
- ARROZ CON POLLO
-
-
-This traditional Spanish recipe is one that Scottie King has adapted and
-serves often to her delighted guests. As Scottie points out, the dish
-can be prepared ahead of time, as it improves with standing. This amount
-serves 4, but the recipe can easily be doubled.
-
- 1 chicken or fowl, cut up as for frying
- 3 cups boiling water
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 1-2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup raw rice, washed
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 1½ teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- 2 sprigs parsley, minced
- 1 bay leaf
- ½ teaspoon saffron
- 2-4 canned pimientos, chopped
- oregano, basil, thyme (optional)
-
-Put chicken in a large pot with boiling water and ½ teaspoon of the
-salt. Cover and simmer for 20-30 minutes (40-50 if it’s a fowl).
-Meanwhile, mix onions, garlic, and rice. Heat olive oil in a large heavy
-skillet, add rice mixture, and stir until oil is well mixed in. Cover
-and fry VERY gently for 10 minutes. Stir frequently and take great care
-mixture does not brown. Add remaining salt, paprika, pepper, parsley,
-bay leaf, and saffron to chicken pot. Add such optional seasonings as
-you like, correct salt if need be, then spread rice mixture over the top
-of chicken. Cover and simmer gently until rice is soft and chicken is
-tender when pierced with a fork—from 40 to 60 minutes. Add the pimientos
-just before serving. Serves 4.
-
-
-
-
- CALABACITAS
-
-
-This is one of the most popular vegetable dishes in New Mexico and
-deserves to be better known in the rest of the country. It’s delicious!
-
- 2 tablespoons oil or lard
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 medium onion
- 4 medium large zucchini
- 1 12-ounce can niblet corn, drained
- 1 4-ounce can diced green chiles
- or 2 fresh peeled chiles
- Salt to taste
- ½ cup grated cheddar, jack or longhorn cheese
-
-In a large heavy skillet, saute the onion, garlic and zucchini in oil.
-Discard the garlic. Mix in drained corn, chopped chiles and salt. Cover
-tightly and heat through. Mix in cheese and serve. Serves 4.
-
- [Illustration: uncaptioned]
-
-
-
-
- HUEVOS RANCHEROS
-
-
-Everyone has a special way of preparing huevos rancheros. This
-suggestion comes from New Mexico State University.
-
- 2 cups green or red chile sauce
- 4 eggs
- ½ cup grated cheese
-
-Heat chile sauce in shallow frying pan. When hot, slip eggs into sauce
-from small dish or saucer, being careful not to break yolks. Cover and
-simmer over very low heat until eggs are poached to desired firmness.
-Serve on warm plates with remaining sauce poured over eggs. Sprinkle
-with cheese. Serves 2. Use canned sauce or your own mixture. For
-recipes, see pages 15 and 17.
-
-
-
-
- RED CHILE BURRITOS
-
-

-burrito.
-
- 4 cups cooked pinto beans
- 2 teaspoons bacon fat or vegetable shortening
- Garlic salt to taste
- 12 flour tortillas ⅛ to ¼ inch thick
- 1 cup grated jack or longhorn cheese
- ½ cup minced onion
- Red chile sauce (see page 17)
-
-Mash beans and season with garlic salt to taste. Fry in bacon fat. Heat
-tortillas on ungreased griddle and cover with towel to keep warm. Spoon
-hot bean mixture down the center of each tortilla, roll, and place 2 on
-each serving plate. Pour heated red chile sauce over burritos and top
-with cheese and onions. Serves 6.
-
-
-
-
- GAZPACHO NEW MEXICO
-
-
-A delectable and cooling “liquid salad” from Spain—with a special New
-Mexico touch.
-
- 2 pounds tomatoes, peeled
- or 2 14½-ounce cans stewed tomatoes
- 1 cucumber
- ½ green pepper
- 1 large onion
- 1 clove garlic
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 1 tablespoon vinegar
- 1 cup tomato juice
- Salt to taste
- 1 4-ounce can diced green chile
- Ice cubes
-

-the cucumber, half the onion, half the pepper. Set aside in a large bowl
-or pitcher. Put the remaining tomatoes, cucumber, pepper and onion into
-a blender, along with the garlic, olive oil, vinegar, tomato juice, salt
-to taste and green chile. Blend for a few seconds. Pour into container
-with chopped vegetables. Mix well, cover and chill thoroughly. Serve
-with 2 or 3 ice cubes in each bowl. Sprinkle with garlic croutons or
-serve with hot garlic bread. Serves 6 to 8.
-
-
-
-
- TAMALE PIE
-
-
-This particular version is the specialty of a young Gallup girl who
-adapted it from an aunt’s recipe.
-
- 1½ cups leftover meat, chopped
- 1 cup leftover gravy
- 1 cup red chile sauce
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 1 can niblet corn, drained
- salt and pepper to taste
- garlic powder (optional)
-
- 3 cups water or stock
- ¾ cup yellow cornmeal
- salt to taste
-
-Heat meat with gravy, chile sauce, onion, and corn and season to taste.
-Meanwhile boil stock or water and stir in cornmeal. Cook, stirring over
-low heat until mush is thick. Turn meat mixture into casserole and top
-with spoonfuls of cornmeal mush evenly distributed over surface. Bake at
-350 degrees F for about 40 minutes.
-
-
-
-
- CHILE PIE
-
-
-Not really a “pie,” this is more like a quiche without a crust.
-Delectable as a main dish for lunch, it could also make a light supper.
-And how about doubling the recipe, making it in a rectangular baking
-dish, and cutting in small squares to serve at a party?
-
- 4-6 whole green chiles
- 1 cup grated jack or longhorn cheese
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup scalded half-and-half
- or 1 cup evaporated milk
- ½ teaspoon garlic salt
-
-Line a buttered 8- or 9-inch pie pan with chiles (fresh, canned or
-frozen). Sprinkle with the cheese. Beat eggs and combine with
-half-and-half and garlic salt. Pour over cheese. Bake at 325 degrees F
-for about 40 minutes or until the custard has set. Cut in wedges and
-serve. Serves 4.

-
-
-
-
- PREPARING FRESH CHILE
-
-
-Select plump fresh New Mexico-grown chile pods, either green or red. The
-variety of the chile will determine how hot it is. (See “Chile—New
-Mexico’s Fiery Soul” and the Nakayama Scale in _The Best from New Mexico
-Kitchens_.) New Mexico #6 and Anaheim are two of the mildest varieties,
-and Numex Big Jim rates #3 on a scale of 10. (The sizzling jalapeño is
-only #7!)
-
-Slit pods lengthwise and remove seeds and veins, which make chiles far
-too hot for most palates. Place pods on a foil-lined cookie sheet under
-broiler. Or place pods on outdoor grill. Roast pods, turning frequently
-so they don’t burn. When chile skins are blistered and loose, remove
-from fire (tongs would be handy for this) and cover with damp towels
-until cool. Peel skins from stem downward. Chiles are then ready to use
-or to freeze for the future. If you want to save your own skin from
-being blistered by the chiles, you had better wear thin rubber gloves
-while you work.
-
-
-
-
- GREEN CHILE SAUCE
-
-
- ¼ cup salad or olive oil
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- ½ cup minced onion (optional)
- 1 tablespoon flour
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup chopped green chile
- salt to taste
-
-Saute garlic and onion in oil in heavy saucepan. Blend in flour with
-wooden spoon. Add water and green chile and mix well. Add salt. Bring to
-a boil and simmer, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes.
-
-
-
-
- THE OWL BAR’S GREEN CHILE
-
-
-The Owl Bar & Cafe in San Antonio, south of Socorro, has become world
-renowned—literally!—for its huge, juicy hamburgers. (It’s been featured
-in _New Mexico Magazine_, TWA’s _Ambassador Magazine_ and the
-_Washington Post_.) But the cafe is also known for its atmosphere and
-its green chile. The secret, says Rowena Baca, the owner, is in the
-simmering.
-
- 3½ pounds hot green chile
- 1½ pounds hamburger meat
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 quarts water
- salt to taste
-
-Roast, peel, and dice green chile. In a heavy skillet, brown the meat
-and drain excess fat. In large heavy saucepan, cover chile and garlic
-with water and bring to boiling point. Mix in the meat and simmer,
-tightly covered, for at least 3 hours. Add salt to taste.
-
-
-
-
- GREEN CHILE STEW
-
-
-Rosella Frederick of Cochití is known for her good cooking. One of her
-specialties is her green chile stew. For feast days, she usually makes
-enormous pots of stew outside over an open fire in order not to heat up
-her spotless kitchen. She has cut down her recipe to family size for us.
-
- 2 pounds lean chuck
- Lard or cooking oil
- ½ medium onion, chopped
- 4 medium potatoes (optional)
- 4 medium zucchini (optional)
- 12 large green chiles, roasted, peeled and cut in pieces
- or 1 7-ounce container frozen chopped green chile
- or 2 4-ounce cans chopped green chile
- 1 teaspoon garlic salt
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 6-7 cups water
-
-Cut the meat up into very small pieces—about 2-inch cubes—and brown in a
-little oil in a large, deep heavy pan. Add the onions. Peel and dice the
-potatoes and brown them with the meat. (Rosella does not flour the meat
-because it makes the stew too thick for her family’s taste.) When the
-meat and onion and potatoes (if used) have been browned, drain off any
-excess fat. Add the zucchini, if used, the chiles, garlic salt, salt and
-water. Bring to a boil and simmer for at least a half hour. Ladle into
-bowls and serve with homemade bread. The stew should be eaten with a
-spoon, like a hearty soup. Serves 6.

- RED CHILE SAUCE I
-
-
-This is Mark Nohl’s traditional recipe made from whole dry red chile
-pods, the kind that hang on every door-side ristra in New Mexico or are
-bought in big plastic bags at supermarkets and roadside stands.
-
-Wash and remove seeds, stems, and white veins (the more seeds and veins
-you leave in, the hotter the sauce will be). Place pods in a large
-kettle and cover with boiling water. Cook the pods until they become
-plump and tender. Remove pods and run them through your blender or
-processor (in the old days they used a food mill or fruit press). Strain
-the mixture to remove pieces of skin and stray seeds. Add some of the
-water you used to cook the pods in order to get the consistency of
-tomato paste. To this add 3 tablespoons fat, several cloves of minced
-garlic, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, and 1 teaspoon salt. Bring sauce to a
-boil, reduce heat, and simmer for about 45 minutes. This is your basic
-red chile sauce and is the smoothest you can make. To this you can add
-pinto beans, meat, onions, or tomatoes to construct your favorite New
-Mexico recipes, or use as is to go over burritos or enchilada plates.

-
- RED CHILE SAUCE II
-
-
- 3 tablespoons olive oil or lard
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- ½ cup New Mexico chile powder
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 2 cups water
- salt to taste
-
-Saute the garlic in oil. Blend in flour and chile powder quickly with a
-wooden spoon. (Be careful not to burn the chile.) Blend in water and
-cook to desired consistency, adding more water as desired. If you have
-stock instead of water, so much the better. Add salt to taste.

-
- SALSA
-
-
- 2 tomatoes, medium size
- 1 Bermuda onion, medium size
- 1 clove garlic
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 or more green chiles
-
-Use fresh chiles (roasted, peeled and seeded) or frozen or canned
-chiles. Chop the chiles, tomatoes and onion very fine. (Don’t lose the
-juice of the tomatoes!) Mash the garlic with the salt. Mix well. Add
-more chiles to suit your taste. Allow flavors to blend at least an hour
-before using. Store in refrigerator or freezer. Use on tacos, eggs or
-hamburgers or as a dip for tostados. Makes about 1 pint.

- PUEBLO RED CHILE STEW
-
-
-This recipe comes from Santa Clara Pueblo from the Joseph Lonewolf
-family.
-
- 10 pounds stew beef
- 2 gallons water
- 2 tablespoons salt
- 5 pounds potatoes
- 2 cups red chile powder
- ½ cup blue cornmeal
-
-Cut meat in 1-inch cubes. Cover with water and bring to a boil in a
-large kettle. Reduce heat to simmer and cook, covered, for about 4
-hours. Meanwhile, peel and cube potatoes. Add potatoes and salt and cook
-for 1½ hours. Measure red chile powder and cornmeal into bowl with
-enough cold water to make a paste. Stir slowly into stew. Mix in well,
-to thicken broth. Simmer for a half hour, then keep warm. Theresa
-Lonewolf figures on serving about 75 people on a feast day, but of
-course not everyone eats a lot of any one dish. If this were the main
-dish at a picnic or supper, it might serve 25 to 35 persons.

-
- GREEN CHILE SOUFFLE
-
-
-This happy marriage of green chile to a souffle was engineered by Edna
-Turner of Santa Fe.
-
- 5 egg whites
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 3 tablespoons flour
- 1 cup hot milk
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon dry mustard
- Dash cayenne
- ¼ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 4 egg yolks
- Pinch salt
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- ¼ to ½ cup chopped green chile
-
-Place egg whites in a 4-quart bowl and let stand at room temperature 1
-hour. Heat oven to 400 degrees F. Butter 1½-quart souffle dish
-generously. Sprinkle bottom and sides evenly with Parmesan cheese. Melt
-3 tablespoons butter over low heat in heavy saucepan. Add flour and stir
-with wire whisk. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly until mixture
-foams and bubbles. Remove from heat, add milk, and beat until smooth.
-Beat in salt, mustard, cayenne and Worcestershire. Return to heat and
-cook 1 minute, stirring constantly, until mixture is quite thick. Remove
-from heat and add egg yolks 1 at a time, beating well after each
-addition. Pour this mixture into a large bowl. Beat egg whites with a
-pinch of salt until stiff peaks form. Add 1 large spoonful to the egg
-yolk mixture and blend. Add all but 1 tablespoon of the cheese and the
-chopped chiles (frozen, fresh or canned) to the egg yolk mixture and
-blend well. Spoon remaining egg whites on top and fold in with a rubber
-spatula. Pour into souffle dish and smooth with spatula. Sprinkle
-remaining cheese on top. Run a silver knife in a circle about 1 inch
-from the edge of dish. (This will enable the crown or “hat” to form when
-done.) Place in center of oven and reduce to 375 degrees F. Bake 34-40
-minutes, or until knife inserted in the side comes out clean. Serve
-immediately.
-
-
-
-
- TOSTADOS
-
-
-Cut fresh or canned corn tortillas into triangles and deep fry in oil at
-380 degrees F until they are crisp. Drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with
-salt. These are the original “corn chips.” Use with dips, soups or
-beverages.
-
-
-
-
- NACHOS
-
-
-Prepare tortillas as above. While they are still hot, sprinkle with
-onion or garlic salt and chile powder. Or—sprinkle the chips with grated
-longhorn cheese, chile powder and garlic salt, then heat in the oven
-until the cheese melts. Or spread each chip with a bit of mashed beans,
-season with red chile powder or a bit of fresh chopped green chile,
-sprinkle liberally with grated longhorn cheese, add a touch of garlic
-salt and broil until cheese melts.
-
-
-

-
-Saute minced onion and garlic in butter in large heavy saucepan. Blend
-in flour with wooden spoon. Add milk and cheese. Stir constantly until
-cheese is melted and mixture is smooth and thick. If mixture seems too
-thick to use as a dip, blend in a little water. Mix in the chopped green
-chile (fresh, frozen or canned) to suit your taste. Serve in a chafing
-dish with tostados, corn chips or raw vegetable sticks to dip in the
-mixture.

-
- FLOUR TORTILLAS
-
-
- 2 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon baking powder (optional)
- 4 tablespoons lard
- ½-¾ cup lukewarm water
-
-Mix dry ingredients, then work in lard until mixture is crumbly. Stir in
-the half cup of water, adding more if needed. Knead dough on a lightly
-floured board, then make into small balls, about the size of an egg. Let
-these stand covered by a tea towel for about 15 minutes. Then roll out
-to the size of a salad or luncheon plate. Bake on a hot, ungreased
-griddle for 2 minutes. Turn and bake for 1 minute on the other side.
-They should have a brown-freckled surface. Use immediately, or keep warm
-until serving by placing between the folds of a clean tea towel. If
-necessary, they may be refrigerated in plastic bags and reheated—but
-they’re better when they’re fresh.

- SOPAIPILLAS
-
-
-Although they are kin to fry bread and cousin to buñelos, New Mexico’s
-sopaipillas are unique. There’s nothing in the world quite like these
-light crispy bread puffs.
-
- 2 cups flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons lard
- ½ cup water
- Shortening for frying
-
-Sift dry ingredients together. Work in lard and lukewarm water to make a
-soft dough. Chill in refrigerator. Roll out dough on a floured surface
-to about ¼-inch thickness. Cut into 3-inch squares. Deep fry in hot lard
-(or vegetable shortening) at 400 degrees F a few at a time. Brown on
-each side and drain on paper towels. Serve piping hot. To eat, poke open
-and pour in honey or slather with honey butter.
-
-
-
-
- HONEY BUTTER
-
-
-Cream 1 cup butter or margarine. Gradually beat in ½ cup to 1 cup of
-honey. (If your honey has begun to crystalize, you can use the larger
-amount.) Cover and store in refrigerator. Serve with sopaipillas. Good
-also on hot biscuits or toast.

-
- CHILE BREAD
-
-
-Here’s a surprising raised dough ring that will make chile lovers wake
-up and sing. Glenna Rose Autrey of Santa Fe dreamed it up.
-
- 1 package dry yeast
- ¼ cup warm water
- 4½ cups flour
- ½ cup melted butter
- 1 cup warm milk
- ¼ cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg
-
- 1½ cups finely chopped onion
- ½ cup melted butter
- 3 tablespoons red chile powder
- or ½ cup chopped green chile
-
-Dissolve yeast in water. Mix in 2 cups of the flour, butter, milk,
-sugar, salt, and egg. Beat for 2 minutes. Add enough flour to make a
-stiff dough. Turn onto a floured board and knead until smooth. Put in a
-greased bowl, turn over, and cover with a clean cloth. Put bowl in a
-warm place with no drafts and let dough rise until doubled—about 1 hour.
-
-Combine remaining ingredients for filling. Punch dough down and roll
-into a 20x8 inch rectangle. Cut into four 20x2 inch strips. Spread
-filling on each strip and fold over lengthwise. Twist 2 strips together,
-then twist double strips together and form in a circle on greased cookie
-sheet. Cover with clean cloth and let rise until doubled. Brush with
-beaten egg and sprinkle with chile powder. Bake at 350 degrees F for 40
-minutes.
-
-
-
-
- NAVAJO FRY BREAD
-
-
- 3 cups flour
- 1½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1⅓ cups warm water
- Shortening
-
-Use either all white or half whole wheat flour. Mix flour, baking powder
-and salt. Add warm water and mix. Dough should be soft but not sticky.
-Knead until smooth. Tear off a chunk about the size of a peach. Pat and
-stretch until it is thin. Poke a hole through the middle, and drop into
-sizzling hot deep fat. (Lard is the traditional shortening, but you
-might prefer to use vegetable oil.) Brown on both sides. Drain and serve
-hot. Eat with honey or jam.
-
-
-
-
- BLUE CORN BREAD
-
-
-From the northern part of the Navajo Reservation comes this unusual
-recipe. Obviously the recipe is not for the average American kitchen.
-But it shows the remarkable ingenuity of people who must use the
-ingredients available far from supermarkets.
-
- 1 cup cedar ashes
- 1 cup hot water
- 1 pound blue cornmeal
- 1 quart water
-
-The cedar ashes (really from juniper wood, locally called cedar) should
-be smooth and fine. Sieve if possible. Mix the ashes with hot water and
-remove any twigs or other bits of rough material. Add to blue cornmeal.
-Pour in water gradually, adding only enough to make a soft dough. Form
-into cakes about a half inch thick. Smooth the surface of the cakes with
-water. Cook on a medium hot grill on each side until the cakes are done.
-Use like bread.

- 2 beef tongues
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon allspice
- 1 tablespoon vanilla
- 1 cup raisins
- 1 cup roasted shelled piñon nuts

-
-Cover well-washed tongues with water in a large kettle and simmer until
-tender—about 1 hour. Cool and peel. Retain 1 cup of the tongue broth.
-Grind meat in a grinder and place in a large bowl. Add remaining
-ingredients and mix well with hands, using tongue broth to moisten. Let
-mixture stand while you prepare pastry.
-
-
- Pastry
-
- 5 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- ¾ cup shortening (part lard)
- ½ cup evaporated milk
- ½ cup water
-
-Sift flour into a large bowl and add salt and sugar. Cut in shortening.
-Mix in milk and water to form a soft dough. Knead dough with hands for
-about 3 minutes. Form dough into balls about 1½ inches in diameter. Roll
-out on floured board. Place 1 teaspoon filling on half circle of dough,
-folding over other half circle to enclose. Pinch edges of dough together
-to prevent filling from leaking. Deep fry empanaditas a few at a time in
-moderately hot oil (350 degrees F) until golden brown, turning once.
-Drain on paper towels. Makes about 4½ dozen empanaditas.
-
-Empanaditas taste best when eaten warm. They may be placed on a cookie
-sheet and reheated in a 300-degree F oven.

-Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
-electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
-computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It
-exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations
-from people in all walks of life.
-
-Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
-assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
-goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
-remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
-Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
-and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future
-generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see

-Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
-Literary Archive Foundation
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
-spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
-increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
-freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
-array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
-($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
-status with the IRS.
-
-The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
-charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
-States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
-considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
-with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
-where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND
-DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular
-state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
-have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
-against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
-approach us with offers to donate.
-
-International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
-any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
-outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
-
-Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
-methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
-ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To
-donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works.
-
-Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
-Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be
-freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
-distributed Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of
-volunteer support.
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
-editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
-the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
-necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
-edition.
-
-Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search
-facility: www.gutenberg.org
-
-This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
-including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
-subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
