New Mexican Green Chile

Ingredients

4 cups water
3 cups roasted and peeled green chilies
14.5 oz whole tomatoes crushed with juice
1 clove fresh garlic minced
1 TBSP bacon drippings or lard
2 TBSP flour
Salt to taste

Instructions In Dutch oven, heat bacon drippings until hot. Add flour until it looks like Elmer’s glue. You may not need all the flour. Brown flour until dark brown; if you don’t brown well enough Chile will look chalky. Add Water, whisking till all lumps are gone. Now add tomatoes w/ juice, chilies, garlic and salt. At this point Chile may still be too thick, add a little more water, not too much. Simmer with meat for 10 minutes and then serve. Ta Da!

Choose Your Water Basin

Disappearing Fountains At Nick's Garden Center 01The larger the reservoir the greater volume of water it can hold and the less often you need to re-fill it

02Tall pieces 4’ or higher need a bigger box, water droplets have farther to fall and tend to splash out of the reservoir

03Larger reservoirs give you the opportunity to add additional pieces to your fountain display

04Larger reservoirs allow for a greater water flow creating more water "Harmony"

Although you may be tempted to opt for a smaller reservoir due to space, labor and cost considerations there are some good reasons to go with a larger reservoir.

Choose Pump & Accessories

Disappearing Fountains At Nick's Garden Center 01Correct Pump size is quite important in creating the desired water effect

02Copper piping creates an elegant touch in larger pot fountains allowing water to flow above the water surface

03Stone to disguise the water basin is the final touch allowing a seamless transition into the landscape
