Pueblo Green Chili Recipe

1. Roast chiles directly over a gas burner set on high heat until well charred on all sides (about 10 minutes total). Transfer to a paper bag, tightly seal the top, and let rest for 10 minutes. Alternatively, char the chiles under a preheated broiler until charred on all sides, about 15 minutes total. Peel the skins off the chiles and chop into 1/2- to 1/4-inch pieces. Set aside.

2. Meanwhile, cover raisins with hot water in a small microwave-safe bowl Microwave on high heat for 1 minute, then let raising steep until fully softened, about 5 minutes. Blend soaked raisins and tomatoes with a hand blender or in a standing blender until nearly smooth. Set aside.

3. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in pressure cooker (see note) over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add onions and cook, stirring occasionally softened, about 4 minutes. Add garlic and oregano and cook, stirring frequently until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add peppers, tomato mixture, chicken stock, and pork. Seal pressure cooker and cook at high pressure for 15 minutes. Release pressure.

4. Remove lid from pressure cooker and continue to cook without lid until liquid is reduced to half, about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, heat remaining 3 tablespoons oil and flour in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring constantly until light blond in color, about 3 minutes. Slowly whisk flour mixture into simmering chili. Continue to cook until desired texture is reached. Season to taste with salt. Cooked chili will keep in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
