My Chile Verde Turned out Brown

[jgradieoakes]

Maybe I put too much color on the onions and should have cleaned the pot instead of deglazing; also used some brown chicken stock from the freezer but I was bummed when my chile verde came out brown last night despite the mounds of hatch peppers. Chile verde=green. Tomatillos? Is that even allowed?

Of course tomatillos belong in Chile Verde - mine anyway. Strongly colored onions and stock are not recommended however, IMHO.

With Hatch chiles, I would not use tomatillos (or maybe just one for the acidity) to make the NM classic style.

Blenderize some green scallion tops in a little bit of water until pureed, mix in just before heating to heat through but not darken the vivid green color. You can also use cilantro the same way, but it will change the flavor more.
