Caldito de Calabacita

by

The word “caldito” is actually in its literal New Mexican translation, a word for flattery. Yet, many New Mexicans often refer to “caldito” (the diminutive form of caldo) to mean “caldo” or broth. For our family however, a caldo or caldito, was much more than a broth. It was a comfort food. Time and again, entering the house on a cold, blustery, winter’s day or when we weren’t feeling all that well, our mother would prepare a simple soup of vegetables, a little meat, and spices, which melded together to create a savory broth that warmed us from the inside out. It also, had the power to comfort us and to make us feel safe. Even now, this “little broth” can take us back to those times. Try this version of “caldito” or “ little soup” for your family. It’s simple to make yet flavorful. If you find it a little too spicy for some members of the family, separate some for them before adding the chile.

 

This recipe uses our classic green chile:  https://buenofoods.com/green-chile/

We use Kitchen Bouquet Browning & Seasoning Sauce. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kitchen_Bouquet

The word “Caldillo” is sometimes used to refer to a stew made with a light broth or with a saucy-like consistency found in a ragout or fricassee. We borrowed the word to describe this dish because it has a gravy-like sauce that is not at all spicy and perfect for growing families. The recipe is easy to make and you can get it to the table in under 45 minutes.

Instructions
Sauce
  1. Heat oil over low heat. Add flour, stirring constantly until golden brown to make a roux.
  2. Add red chile and 1 container of cold water. Depending on your preferred consistency, you can add more or less water.
  3. Add garlic, salt, and oregano and simmer uncovered for at least 20 minutes. The longer you cook, the thicker the sauce becomes.
Enchiladas
  1. In a separate skillet, heat oil. Fry tortillas one at a time. After frying each tortilla, drain on paper towel.
  2. Assemble the casserole, using a 9x9 square casserole dish. Dip each blue corn tortilla in red chile sauce. Place in casserole dish until bottom of dish is covered with one layer.
  3. Place a generous portion of red chile sauce over each tortilla to cover the entire layer.
  4. Sprinkle first layer with onion and cheese. Continue to build the layered casserole with fried tortillas, red chile sauce, onion and cheese until all ingredients are used.
  5. Bake at 350° for 10 minutes or until cheese melts.
Recipe Notes

Note: Blue corn is delicate and tortillas may separate while frying.  No worries. Assemble as usual.  Once they are within the casserole, no one will ever know! But the delicate and sweet taste of blue corn in combination with the red chile sauce make these enchiladas an example of true and traditional New Mexican cuisine.

Option: Pour remainder of chile sauce over individual servings if desired.
