Recipe: Bacon-Green Chile Meatloaf

01/08/2013 by PaleoPeriodical 3 Comments

As I mentioned in my Lamb and Olive Chili recipe, ground meat will save your life. That goes for anytime, but especially during a Whole30. But sometimes…it sure gets old, doesn’t it? I run through the usual: burgers, taco salad, tomatoey meat sauce, meatballs, even a stir-fry treatment. But I always forget about meatloaf. It’s […]

If you’re new here, you might not know I originally hail from New Mexico, land of green chile heaven. Green chile must be one of the few foods that is still truly regional. Sure, you can buy cans of the stuff on shelves almost anywhere, but it’s nothing like the real thing. I mean, it […]

In case you haven’t noticed, bacon and green chile go very well together. Also, green chile and eggs. Also, bacon, green chile, and eggs. When I lived in New Mexico, the combo was the ultimate hangover soother. And whaddya know? It’s still great, even though I rarely have hangovers. Add whatever you’d like to this. […]

When I lived in Albuquerque, a green chile mecca, there was an Irish pub named O’Niell’s (not misspelled, by the way). I’m about to commit to a huge statement here, but I’m pretty sure their O’Niell’s Burger in Paradise is the best I’ve ever had. A juicy, seasoned beef patty topped with green chile, bacon, […]

Recipe: Cream of Green Chile Chicken Soup

New Mexican green chile + Your grandmother’s chicken vegetable soup = Bowl full o’ yum. This isn’t a traditional dish, more like my variation on a few themes. The thought process goes like this: “The weather’s gloomy and I’m in a soup mood. Some nice shredded chicken, some chunky veggies…ooh, green chile sounds good. And […]

Looking for something to spice up your eggs? Your steak? Your burger? Pork? Lamb? Chicken? Ice cream? Okay, just kidding on that last one, though some New Mexican folks have probably done it, that’s how much they love their green chile sauce. It really does go on almost anything. It will keep in your fridge […]

Stews in New Mexico tend to be simple affairs—some meat, some onions, and a richly flavored sauce steeped in tradition. If you’re used to the black-bean-and-avocado Mexicali cuisine or the greasy, melty plate of Tex-Mex, you might be surprised at what you get in the northern parts of New Mexico. If you’re not familiar with […]

It’s Green Chile Week at the Periodical!

09/26/2011 by PaleoPeriodical 6 Comments

I’m devoting this week to my New Mexican roots by posting a new recipe each day that incorporates the unmistakable flavor of my home state—green chile. Yes, with only an “e” on the end. If you’ve ever been to New Mexico and innocently ordered a plate of enchiladas, only to be asked, “Red or green?”, […]
