Pretty nice day yesterday, other than a little breeze here and there. Had a whole bunch of pulled pork I need to use up along with some beef sausage, and chopped beef, along with some garden fresh chive, and cilanto, course needed some onions and garlic and some beautiful bacon as the base to get everything going. A little adult beverage........Chivas. The DO, a pecan fire and smoke. Then figured, what the heck, some bisquits in the skillet. Found out the DO llid fits the skillet very nicley.
The finale was some VERY hot Hatch green chile. I only added it to my bowl as it was too hot for the wife and kids. This was the Sandia variety of chile. Smaller, thinner flesh.............but packs some heat. Great stuff. I felt the 'after effects' this morning......:mad2:

I tried doing "thumbs up" but it looked more like the "bird" so I went with "peace Bros!"

Some homemade chicken stock went in at this point too.

Last year I had a basil forrest, this year looks like a Cilantro forrest is in progress.

Ooo, that looks good. One question though, your recipe is a lot more brothy than the one I was taught to make, is that normal? Is it more authentic to have a lot of broth?
 
This one is brothier. I usually boil the taters first and let them go till they become the thickening agent(basically till they dissovle), then all else goes in with a 2nd batch of taters for texture. This time, I went with the red's which hold up better to boiling like the golds do so I just tossed em in at the end and ended up with more of a caldo. Since I was using the DO and a hot fire, I didn't want to risk scorching a thicker verde. Plus, I defrosted more chicken broth than I needed so I just used it all. Seemed sinful to toss away that leftover homemade broth.
I personally prefer the thicker verde myself. I think that one is more authientic. It's perfect for burritos with some beans.
How do you make yours Bob? I've seen either taters, beans, or lentils used as the thickeners.
