Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 24

1 pound pork butt, trimmed of fat
2 yellow onions, quartered
1 tablespoon ground cumin
2 bay leaves
2 teaspoons dried Mexican oregano
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black peppercorns
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
Chile Verde, recipe follows
Corn Tortillas, accompaniment
Diced, seeded tomatoes, accompaniment
Sour cream, accompaniment
1 pound fresh mild green New Mexico chiles, or Anaheims
1 pound fresh hot green New Mexico (Big Jim) chiles, or anchos or poblanos
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 cup chopped white onion
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1 tablespoon minced, seeded jalapeno pepper
2 teaspoons dried Mexican oregano
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 cups chicken stock, or canned low-sodium chicken broth
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Place pork butt, yellow onions, cumin, bay leaves, Mexican oregano, salt, black peppercorns and cayenne in a large saucepan and cover with water by 1-inch. Bring to a boil.
  • Lower the heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 45 minutes, skimming the surface to remove any scum that forms. Drain in a colander.

Place the blackened peppers in a plastic or paper bag, and let rest until cool enough to handle, about 15 minutes. Peel the peppers, and remove the seeds and the stems. Chop the peppers and set aside.
  • In a large saucepan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring, until tender, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic, jalapenos, oregano, salt, and cumin, and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the flour and cook, stirring, without allowing to color, for 2 minutes. Add the chopped peppers, and stir well to combine. Add the chicken stock, stir well, and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes.
  • Remove the chile verde from the heat, add the cilantro, and adjust seasoning, to taste.

  • Serve the stew in bowls with the fixins -- cheese, cilantro and tortillas alongside some sour cream and lime wedges.

PORK AND GREEN CHILI STEW



Pork and Green Chili Stew image

This is a great winter recipe - especially for us Wisconsin-ites! Warms you up...My husband found it on Art Bell's website a few years back - I lost my original copy off the computer,so I can't credit the original chef, but luckily had written it down for a friend,who copied it for me. I've changed it somewhat,like the hominy in it...it's definitely adjustable for those of you who like more "heat" when you eat.

PORK GREEN CHILE STEW



Pork Green Chile Stew image

from www.laurasbestrecipes.com My husband and I love our Harleys and like nothing more than stopping during our ride to try Green Chili in Colorado and New Mexico. I've made green chile many times, and I believe this to be the best method. It's my own recipe as I've removed unneeded seasonings or non-fresh ingredients... If you use chiles roasted from New Mexico and good quality pork shoulder, you don't need dried seasonings. I also believe these quantities of ingredients work best. I don't believe the nutritional values calculated by RecipeZaar are correct for this posting... so keep that in mind. Enjoy!

Categories     Pork

Time 2h30m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

4 cups chopped roasted chilies, skins and seeds removed
3 lbs cubed pork shoulder
3 tablespoons masa corn flour
2 tablespoons oil
1 large yellow onion, chopped
2 tablespoons butter
32 ounces chicken stock
4 yukon gold potatoes, - 1/4 inch cubes
3 carrots, cut cross-wise into small chunks (optional)
2 ears corn, roasted on the grill (Kernels) (optional)
1/4 cup roma tomato, chopped (optional)
8 -10 garlic cloves, chopped
2 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
1 teaspoon cumin seed, lightly toasted and ground
salt or pepper
2 tablespoons masa harina flour (if needed to thinken)

Steps:

  • • Dredge pork cubes in Masa Flour in plastic bag until all pieces are coated.
  • • Brown in oil in large Dutch oven or pot - set aside.
  • • Add butter to same pan, lightly cook onion until slightly colored (not browned) - then add garlic cook 1-2 minutes until aromatic.
  • • Add small amount of chicken stock to browned bottom of pot/dutch oven - as stock heats up, scrape browned bits off of the pan to create a roux. After all bits are scraped, add remaining stock to pan.
  • • Add remaining ingredients to same pan (except green chiles and added Masa). Bring to slow boil, then cover, reduce to simmer for about 30 minutes -- then add green chiles and cook until pork is tender - a little over an hour is usually good - too long and the meat will toughen. Make sure it NEVER BOILS as it will cook too fast. Sometimes I turn the stove off after about 40 minutes to make sure it cooks slowly.
  • • Add salt/pepper to taste.
  • • After 45 minutes, check consistency - if it needs to be thicker slowly add a small amount of Masa at a time and stir until thick - shouldn't be more than 2 tablespoons The chiles will breakdown into the roux while cooking. Taste for heat - if you like it spicy, add a couple of diced serrano chiles. Garnish with sour cream and cilantro. Serve with corn bread or homemade tortillas -- and several Tecate's or margaritas!
  • Do not add beer like other recipes suggest - it will dilute the chile flavor and can add a bitterness. NEVER used canned chiles as they don't have much flavor. New Mexican chiles (Big Jims) are the best -- you can buy them online already roasted and peeled (www.newmexicanconnection.com) Otherwise use fresh Anaheims or Big Jims and roast on the grill until skins turn brown/black - place in a brown paper bag to steam the skins off. Do not rinse them under water as it removes the flavorful oils. Organic chicken stock is fine, but don't use low sodium.

PORK-AND-GREEN-CHILI STEW



Pork-and-Green-Chili Stew image

Provided by Mark Bittman

Categories     dinner, weekday, soups and stews, main course

Time 45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 pounds pork butt or shoulder, trimmed of excess fat and cut into small strips or chunks
1 medium onion, roughly chopped
Salt
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 14-ounce can diced tomatoes, with their liquid
2 cups roughly chopped roasted or broiled green chilies (see recipe)
Garlic powder, optional
Warm flour tortillas or rice for serving

Steps:

  • Put a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. When the skillet is hot, add the pork and cook, stirring occasionally to keep it from sticking, just until the meat juices evaporate, about 8 minutes (you're not looking to brown the pork here). Add the onion and a sprinkle of salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until it softens slightly, 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Add the garlic, tomatoes and 1 cup water, not quite enough to cover the mixture. Bring to a boil, and let it boil vigorously for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the chilies, a sprinkle of salt and a sprinkle of garlic powder if you're using it. Reduce the heat so the mixture bubbles gently but steadily, and cover partly. Cook until most of the liquid evaporates, 6 to 10 minutes (there should be some juices left in the bottom of the pot, but the mixture shouldn't be soupy). Taste, add a little more salt if necessary and serve with warm flour tortillas or over rice.

Tips:

  • Choose the right type of pork: For this stew, a fatty cut of pork, such as pork shoulder or pork butt, is best. These cuts will become tender and flavorful as they cook.
  • Brown the pork before stewing: Browning the pork before adding it to the stew will help to develop its flavor and color.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This recipe calls for green chilies, onions, garlic, and tomatoes. You can also add other vegetables, such as potatoes, carrots, or celery.
  • Season the stew well: Be sure to season the stew with salt, pepper, and other spices to taste.
  • Simmer the stew for at least 1 hour: This will allow the flavors to meld and the pork to become tender.
  • Serve the stew with your favorite sides: This stew can be served with rice, potatoes, or bread.

Conclusion:

This green chili stew with pork is a delicious and hearty dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. So next time you are looking for a comforting and flavorful stew, give this recipe a try.
