Pueblo Green Chili Stew Recipes

CHRIS'S PUEBLO GREEN CHILI SAUCE

Steps:

• In large stainless kettle, brown pork in bacon fat or vegetable oil.
• (bacon fat has better flavor.) Cook on medium heat till meat is slightly pink.
• Add diced onion and garlic, cook till soft.
• Add flour and stir, browning flour as you would a roux (rue).
• Add some of your water if flour is too thick, keep stirring till it bubbles.
• Add chicken broth.
• Add the rest of the ingredients and bring to a bubble, then turn heat to low.
• Cook uncovered for 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally.
• If your chile is too thin, add more flour.
• If your chile is too thick, add more chicken broth.
• Taste often and add more spices or peppers to your liking!
• If you do not like chunks of tomato or peppers, place the RoTel, tomatoes and canned diced green chile's into a blender and puree them!
• (This is the way I like my sauce. I only add the Pueblo or Poblano peppers whole to my chile).

GREEN CHILE STEW

Steps:

• Start by peeling and cubing the potato into 1/2-inch diameter pieces and set aside.
• Next, in a saute pan on medium heat, cook the ground beef and lightly sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• While the beef is cooking, place 4 cups water in a stock pot with the potatoes and bring to a boil. Cook the potatoes until fork tender; do not cook until the potatoes mash.
• When all the rawness is cooked out of the beef, turn off the heat. Slowly add the flour while mixing into the beef in order to make a roux. Mix the flour into the beef completely until no dry flour remains. (Depending on the fat ratio of the beef, you may need to add more or less flour. This all depends on how thick you want your stew in texture.)
• Once your roux is complete, add to the stockpot with the cooked potatoes. The meat may be in large pieces, so with a large spoon, break up into desired size. Once the meat is fully broken down, add the green chiles, corn, green chili powder, 2 teaspoons salt and 2 teaspoons black pepper. Fully mix all the ingredients and place the stockpot back on the stove top. Bring up to temperature on medium heat. Once the soup is at proper serving temperature, serve in medium bowls and enjoy. Feel free to add cheese or sour cream if desired.
• Optional serving suggestions: grated cheese, sour cream.

GREEN CHILE STEW WITH PORK

Steps:

• In a large skillet over medium high heat, brown the pork in oil, doing so in 2 to 3 batches.
• Place the meat in 3 to 4-quart covered casserole and add celery, tomatoes, chilies, and garlic.
• Add about 1 cup chicken broth or water to skillet pork was cooked in, stirring over high heat to scrape up browned bits on bottom and bring to boil. Add to pot with enough additional water or broth to barely cover the ingredients. Cover and simmer until stew is thick and meat very tender, about 1 1/2 hours. Add salt to taste before serving. If stew is not hot enough, add a bit of jalapeno salsa.
