Colorado Green Chili

Ingredients

• 1 pound Hatch chile peppers
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 4 cloves garlic, minced, or more to taste
• 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 5 cups vegetable broth
• 2 tablespoons ground cumin
• 2 tablespoons chili powder, or to taste
• 1 teaspoon salt

Steps

1. Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven’s broiler.
2. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil; spread Hatch chile peppers on top.
3. Cook under the preheated broiler, turning once, until pepper skins blacken and blister, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a bowl; seal tightly with plastic wrap. Let cool, about 20 minutes. Peel and seed peppers; dice flesh.
4. Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in diced chile peppers and tomatoes. Cook until heated through, about 5 minutes.
5. Stir in flour until mixture is combined. Stir in broth, cumin, chili powder, and salt. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until flavors combine, at least 30 minutes.
