Campfire style Chile Verde

so, there's this throwdown going on, and I was gonna make chile verde anyway...
got a quick fire going

assembled my players

let 'em get happy for a while

let it all cool, then skinned them. then took it all for a spin in the Ninja

then, sauteed up some garlic and onion

added in some cubed home cured and smoked ham from earlier this week

combined everything

brought it up to a boil, then parked it in the oven at 250 for 6 hours or so while I painted the kid's room, and ended up with this

made a batch of Jeanie's jalapeno cornbread to go with

paired it with a strawberry-rhubarb saison

it didn't suck! eace:

Wow, that campfire beer looks great!

Nice verde sauce, never tried it with ham, that seems interesting to me

Thanks, Bob. I usually use country style ribs in my verde, and usually cure some if it, so I thought I'd just go with the leftover ham.
And the beer is pretty good...I'm having trouble keeping it on tap this summer

I'd give you points alone for the pairing with the saison

Did you cook the chili and cornbread on the campfire too or just the peppers?

Looks good, chili season is amongst us and I can't wait to give it a shot!

just the peppers this time...I was painting, so I wasn't going to be able to keep an eye on any of it :roll:
