Ingredients
  

  • 2 Tbs Butter Coconut oil or Almond oil for gluten/casein free
  • 1/2 Onion diced
  • 3 Celery sticks finely chopped
  • 2 Cloves Garlic
  • Beet greens from 3 beets, chopped
  • 8 Ounces Canadian bacon diced, optional
  • 1 Tsp Organic powdered chicken stock use powdered vegetable broth for vegan
  • 1 Cup Sour Cream Coconut milk for gluten/casein free
  • 5-6 Poblano chiles

Instructions
 

To roast chilies

  • Gather your ingredients and turn your gas burners to medium-high heat.
  • Place 1 chile directly on each burner and roast, turning occasionally with tongs until blackened and blistered on all sides, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  • If you have an electric stove, heat the broiler to high and arrange a rack in the upper third of the oven.
  • Place all of the chilies directly on the rack.
  • Broil, turning occasionally with tongs, until the chilies blacken and blister on all sides, about 8 to 10 minutes.
  • The chilies will be softer using the broiler rather than a direct flame. Remove and put in a heat proof sealed container. You can use a ziplock baggie.
  • Cover tightly and let the chilies steam until cool enough to handle, about 15 minutes.
  • Using a butter knife, scrape away and discard the burnt chile skins, cut off the stem and discard the seeds.

To prepare the sauce

  • Chop the leaves from the beets into small pieces.
  • In a blender, add the chilies, sour cream and powdered broth and blend and set aside.
  • In a skillet add the butter, celery, garlic, beet leaves and onion and sauté until soft.
  • Add the chili mixture to the skillet.
  • Add the bacon to the mixture and heat through.
  • Serve over pasta, veggies, fish, chicken or meat.
