Equipment
- Sharp knife
- Cutting board
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 pound lean pork, cut in 1-inch cubes
- 1 medium onion, chopped fine
- 4 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 1/4 pounds fresh green chiles fire roasted, peeled, seeds removed and coarsely chopped — or 16 ounces frozen, thawed, chopped green chiles like Hatch chiles
- juice of half a fresh lime
- 2 1/2 cups chicken stock homemade, if possible, for the best flavor
- salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a Dutch oven or large saucepan over medium-high heat. Sauté the pork until evenly browned and remove with a slotted spoon to a paper towel to drain.
- Return the pan to the heat and add the onion, garlic, cumin and oregano. Cook, stirring often, until the onion just begins to brown. Add the green chiles and lime juice and cook, stirring often, for 5 minutes.
- Return the browned pork cubes to the pan, add the chicken stock and stir well. Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover and cook for 1 hour, stirring occasionally. Season to taste with salt and black pepper, cook for a few minutes more and serve. 6 servings.
Notes
To store: Let the green chili cool for about 1 hour at room temperature before storing it. Use an airtight container or resealable plastic bags specifically designed for food storage. Refrigerate for up to 3-4 days.
To freeze: Make sure the stew is completely cooled before transferring to an airtight container or freezer bags. Green chili pork stew can be stored in the freezer for 2 to 3 months.
To thaw: When you're ready to enjoy the stew, thaw it in the refrigerator overnight.
To reheat: Transfer the green chili to a saucepan, and heat it on the stovetop over low to medium heat until hot and bubbling, stirring occasionally to ensure even heating.
