Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 white onion chopped
  • 1 tomato small, chopped
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1.5 C. chicken broth
  • 1.5 C. Hatch green chiles roasted, peeled, seeded & chopped

Roux

  • 2 Tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 Tbsp all purpose flour

Instructions

  • In a saucepan over medium, add the oil, garlic and onion and saute 2-3 minutes until onion and garlic have softened. Transfer to a medium bowl and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, melt the butter on low heat and add in the all purpose flour to make a thick paste. Slowly add the chicken broth and (on low heat) whisk with a fork or a whisk to combine - as time progresses, it will work itself into a thick sauce.
  • Once it's combined and thickening up, pour the thickened sauce along with the garlic/onions you set aside, tomatoes, and the Hatch chiles in your blender and puree until combined.
  • Pour back into your skillet and add the cumin & salt (more or less, to taste) and allow to simmer on low until all the flavors have combined).
  • Use immediately or freeze for later.
