Ingredients
  • 5 Long Green chiles (Anaheims)
  • 5 cups Milk, 2% or whole
  • 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter
  • 1 pound Firm, smoky ham, trimmed and cut into 1/4-inch cubes
  • 1/4 cup Unbleached all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 8 freshly baked Masa Biscuits
Directions
  1. 1
    Roast the long green chiles over an open gas flame or under a pre-heated broiler, turning them until they are lightly but evenly charred.
  2. 2
    Place the charred chiles in a paper bag or a bowl covered with a plate and let them steam until cool enough to handle.
  3. 3
    Rub away the burned peel from the chiles, then stem, seed, and coarsely chop them to yield about 3/4 cup.
  4. 4
    In a large skillet over medium-low heat, melt the butter.
  5. 5
    Add the ham cubes and cook, stirring constantly, until lightly browned, about 10 minutes.
  6. 6
    Sprinkle the flour over the ham cubes and cook, stirring constantly, for 5 minutes to cook out the raw flour taste.
  7. 7
    Slowly whisk the milk into the ham mixture, ensuring no lumps form.
  8. 8
    Stir in the chopped green chiles and salt.
  9. 9
    Raise the heat to medium and bring the mixture to a simmer.
  10. 10
    Cook, stirring occasionally and scraping the bottom of the pan, until thickened into a medium gravy, about 7 minutes.
  11. 11
    Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt if needed.
  12. 12
    Arrange the masa biscuits, split-sides up, on 8 plates.
  13. 13
    Spoon the hot gravy over and around the biscuits, using it all.
  14. 14
    Serve immediately.
