  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 Tbs. oil
  • 1/2 tsp. ground cumin
  • 12 New Mexican green chiles, roasted , peeled, & chopped.

Saute onion and garlic in the oil until soft. Stir in the remaining ingredients, bring to a boil, and reduce to a simmer. Cook 30 minutes.

Makes 3 cups
VARIATION Add 2 medium tomatoes, chopped.

You can even use this sauce to make green chile cheese enchaladas.
