Chile Sauce, Green, New Mexico Style

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

½ to 1 medium onion, chopped fine

• 2 to 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 2 cups chopped roasted mild to medium-hot New Mexican green chile, fresh or thawed frozen
• 2 cups chicken or beef stock
• ½ teaspoon salt, or more to taste

Directions

1. Warm the oil in a heavy saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and sauté until the onion is soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
2. Stir in the flour and continue cooking for another 1 or 2 minutes.
3. Mix in the chile. Immediately begin pouring in the stock, stirring as you go, then add the salt.
4. Bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to a low simmer and cook for about 15 minutes, until thickened but still very pourable. Use warm or refrigerate for later use.
