Ingredients

  • 8 hatch green chiles
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil divided
  • ¼ cup finely diced white onion
  • 1 small garlic clove
  • cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon cumin
  • ¼ teaspoon salt or to taste
  • teaspoon ground black pepper or to taste

Instructions

Roasting the Chiles

  • Wash and dry the chiles thoroughly.
    8 hatch green chiles
  • Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and arrange the chiles in a single layer. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and toss to coat.
  • Roast at 425°F until the skins blister and darken.
  • Remove from the oven and place chiles in a paper bag or covered container to steam until cool.
  • Once cooled, peel off the skins, remove stems, and roughly chop the chiles. Set aside.

Making the Sauce

  • In a medium saucepan over low-medium heat, add the remaining olive oil and onion. Cook until the onion is soft and translucent.
    ¼ cup finely diced white onion
  • Stir in the garlic and cook for 30 seconds to 1 minute until fragrant.
    1 small garlic clove
  • Add the chopped chiles, then pour in the broth and spices. Stir to combine.
    ⅔ cup low-sodium chicken broth, ½ teaspoon dried oregano, ½ teaspoon cumin, ¼ teaspoon salt, ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • Increase heat to high, bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cook, uncovered, for 8-10 minutes until the sauce thickens.
  • Remove from heat and serve.

Notes

  • The calories listed are an approximation based on the ingredients in the recipe card and a serving size of 2 tablespoons.
  • See our nutrition disclaimer.
  • If desired, use an immersion blender to blend the sauce into a creamy consistency.
  • Ground coriander is a great substitute for cumin. It gives this sauce a mild, slightly floral flavor.
  • If you'd rather not chop the chiles and onions, place them in a food processor and pulse briefly. Then add them to the saucepan all at once to saute.
