Anaheim Chili Pork Stew Recipes

GREEN CHILI STEW RECIPE WITH PORK

Steps:

• Slice the peppers in half lengthwise and set them onto a baking sheet. Bake them at 400 degrees F for 20 minutes, or until their skins blister up. Cool them slightly, then peel off the skins and discard them. Chop the roasted peppers and set them aside.
• While the peppers are roasting, toss the chopped pork shoulder with 2 tablespoon olive oil, chili powder, paprika, cumin and salt and pepper.
• Heat a large pot to medium heat. Add the pork shoulder and brown the pieces on each side, about 5 minutes. Scoop the browned pork shoulder into a bowl and set aside.
• In the same pot, add the onion and cook for 5 minutes, until softened. Add a bit more olive oil if needed.
• Add the garlic and cook another minutes, until you can smell the gorgeous garlic.
• Add the browned pork along with the stock, potatoes, carrots and chopped roasted peppers.
• Bring to a quick boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for at least 90 minutes. You can simmer longer to develop even more flavor.
• When ready to serve, remove from heat and swirl in the cilantro.
• Serve into bowls and garnish with extra cilantro. I like to toss on some fresh pepper slices and spicy chili flakes as well.
• Enjoy!

GREEN CHILE STEW

Steps:

• In a large Dutch oven or heavy stock pot, heat the oil over medium-high temperature. When the top of the oil is shimmering, add half of the pork. Allow it to sit in the hot pan to develop a sear before stirring; allow to brown. Remove from pan to a plate. Repeat for the second half of the pork.
• Add the onions to the pan and sauté until softened (2-3 minutes). Add the garlic and stir together.
• Return the meat (and any accumulated juices on the plate) to the pan along with the chicken stock, potatoes, salt and green chilies. Bring to a boil, reduce temperature to allow stew to simmer. Simmer for 1 hour.
• Serve garnished with torn cilantro leaves, diced red pepper and a bit of grated cheese if desired.

CRISPY PORK-STUFFED ANAHEIM CHILES

Steps:

• Place pork in a large, heavy pot. Sprinkle with salt. Add water to cover. Bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until pork is brown, about 1 1/2 hours (when water has evaporated, pork will brown in its fat). Set aside.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place chiles directly over the flame of a gas-stove burner on high heat. Roast, turning with tongs, until blackened all over. (Alternatively, broil chiles on a baking sheet, turning, until skin has charred.) Transfer chiles to a large bowl, and cover immediately with plastic wrap. Set aside to steam, about 15 minutes. Peel chiles; discard skins. With stems intact, slit each chile lengthwise; carefully remove seeds and veins. Place, slit side up, on a baking sheet.
• Spread 2 tablespoons cheese in bottom of each chile, then fill with 1/3 cup pork. Sprinkle chiles with remaining 2 cups cheese. Spoon 1 tablespoon tomatillo sauce over top of each chile. Bake 15 minutes. Garnish with cilantro; serve with tortillas and remaining tomatillo sauce.
