World Famous Green Chile Mac & Cheese

LunaCafe Green Chile Mac & Cheese

If the great number of Google searches from around the globe that land on LunaCafe’s doorstep each week signify anything, then EVERYONE IN THE WORLD is looking for Chef Robert McGrath’s recipe for Green Chile Macaroni, which is a specialty of the Roaring Fork restaurant in Scottsdale, Arizona.

I created this sauce as a green chile flavor element for the Green Chile Mac & Cheese Throw Down (which will post next) and then got to thinking how useful it would be in a good number of other dishes. For instance, it would be dynamite served with grilled fish or chicken or as an adjunct to enchiladas. It could also be used as a base for a silky soup, either hot or cold. I’d love to see it spiked with lime and served as a kind of Mexican Gazpacho.
