BOTH AT ONCE: FIEST DAY POSOLE & GREEN CHILE STEW

Steps:

• In large Dutch oven, saute cubed beef or pork (or, if you're making the chicken version, boil the bird and shred the meat, reserving the stock). In second large Dutch oven, saute onions and garlic until golden. Divide contents equally among the two pans. Add oregano, water and bouillon granules to both and bring to boil. To the posole pan, add posole and red chile. To the green chile pan, add green chile (Additional vegetables such as chopped potato and carrot can also be included, if you like, but I'm a purist about my Bowl of Green.) Cover both pans and reduce heat Simmer until meat is tender and flavors blend, stirring occasionally and adding more water as necessary. Adjust seasonings before serving. If some in your group like their posole mild, go easy on the chile -- but give the wild ones extra Red Sauce to ladle in. Simply whisk more powdered red chile with hot stock from the pot, mixing to the consistency of thick enchilada sauce.

TERRITORIAL CHILE POSOLE STEW

Steps:

• Warm a large heavy skillet over medium high heat; sprinkle the meat with salt and pepper.
• Add the seasoned meat to warmed skillet and cook stirring frequently until lightly browned.
• Lower the heat to medium and add the onion and garlic.
• Sauté until the onion is tender, about 5 minutes.
• Place the contents of the skillet into the crock-pot and add remaining ingredients.
• If using canned posole, wait until the last 2 hours to add to the crock-pot.
• Cover and simmer for 4 to 6 hours (depending on your crock-pot the cooking time may need to be increased), until the posole has popped and is tender.
• During the last few hours of cooking, it may be necessary to add the warm water or additional chicken stock; the dried posole will absorb the stock as it cooks.
• Salt the stew to taste, garnish with additional cilantro if desired and serve.
