MEXICAN PORK AND GREEN CHILE STEW
Here's my version of a traditional Mexican 'Guisado de Puerco en Chile Verde' (Green Chile and Pork stew). It is bursting with flavor, and is mildly-spicy. Serve with hot corn or flour tortillas with butter, or black beans and white rice.

Steps:
- Heat oil in a large Dutch oven or large pot over medium heat.
- Spread flour into a wide, shallow dish; add pork and turn to coat, shaking off excess.
- Cook coated pork in hot oil until completely browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir onion and garlic in with the pork; continue cooking and stirring until the onion softens, about 5 minutes. Pour diced tomatoes, green chilies, and 2 tablespoons cilantro over the pork mixture; stir. Place a cover on the Dutch oven and simmer the mixture until pork is tender and no longer pink in the center, about 40 minutes.
- Whisk cold water and cornstarch together in a small bowl; stir into the liquid in the Dutch oven and continue cooking until the sauce thickens, 5 to 10 minutes.
- Remove Dutch oven from heat; let dish rest 10 to 15 minutes. Ladle into bowls and top with cheese and desired amount of cilantro to serve.

INSTANT POT® PORK AND HATCH GREEN CHILE STEW
This is a classic example of the robust flavors of Hatch green chile peppers that have been mellowed by the richness of pork, potatoes, and sweet corn. When serving, if too spicy, drizzle bowls with honey to cut the heat.

Tips:
- Use a large pot or Dutch oven. This dish makes a lot of stew, so you'll need a large pot to accommodate it all.
- Brown the pork in batches. Don't overcrowd the pan, or the pork will steam instead of brown.
- Don't skip the flour. The flour helps to thicken the stew and give it a rich, flavorful sauce.
- Use a variety of chiles. This recipe calls for a combination of green chiles, poblano peppers, and serrano peppers. You can adjust the heat level by using more or less of each type of pepper.
- Simmer the stew for at least 1 hour. This will allow the flavors to meld together and the pork to become tender.
- Serve the stew with your favorite sides. Rice, beans, and tortillas are all great options.
