Hi Cathy4017,
We love this sauce at home and I use it in everything. My sauce recipe is very hot, but you can add small amounts of the Habanero, or none at all & still get a delicious green chile sauce. Let's start.
Chop about 1/4 of onion and mince 1 garlic clove. In a sauce pan add 1 tbsp of vegetable oil and heat. Add the onions & garlic into pan and saute for about 3 - 5 minutes - don't let the garlic turn brown, not even light brown...this will cause the garlic to taste very bitter. Add 2 tsp of flour and stir until the flour starts to lightly brown - takes a few seconds. Stir in about 1 1/2 cups of chopped roasted NM green chile or Anaheim, 1 seeded & minced Habanero chile, 1 1/4 tsp salt, 1 cup of chicken broth or water. Bring to a boil, reduce to low heat, cover & simmer for about 20 minutes, stir occasionally.
Please know that the habanero chile is one of the hottest chiles around. Use gloves when you start handling it, especially when you start seeding & mincing it. Plus, don't touch any part of your face especially your eyes, because it can burn very badly. And, remember that you don't need this firestarter to get a delicious chile. Just omit the habanero & follow the recipe in the same way. In our house we love our salsa's and sauces HOT! But not always.
I hope you like it.

Thank you for the recipe, Gabriela!! I very well understand the part about the habanero!! I used to grow red Savinas (my very favorite) every season, and make a sauce (sort of like Tabasco)...it just never occurred to me to mix green chile and habanero together.
You're right, grilling the tomatoes is the way to add them to a salsa. That roasted flavor adds the authenticity to a lot of mexican/new mexican foods. Are you a chef?

Was......almost 25 years. I finally decided to get out of the kitchen and into the rest of my life and have enjoyed the change very much, though there are things I miss about the business.
I grew up in the Mountains of N.M. amongst the Old Sheepherders and Ranchers and as a Kid in Grade School i was elected to be the cook for all the Ranch Hands whether i wanted to or not. So i guess cooking is a passion i grew up with plus playing guitar and singing. I like my cooking better then that Tasteless expensive food in some Restaurants. el pintada kid
