New Mexico Pork Green Chile Stew image

Nothing speaks of comfort food more than my mother's green chile stew. Growing up in the beautiful Land of Enchantment (New Mexico), we always had an ample supply of green chile in the freezer. I have fond memories of my mom buttering her tortilla and ripping the pieces into her bowl. It is April 4, 2020, it's been snowing...

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 Tbsp butter
1 medium onion, diced
4-5 clove garlic, minced
13 oz frozen bueno chopped green chile
4 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 lb pork tenderloin, prebaked, cooled and cubed
3 c chicken stock
pinch mexican oregano, red chile flakes, salt and pepper

Steps:

  • 1. In a large pot melt butter, add onions, saute 5 min. or until soft, turn down the heat low and add in garlic. Saute another 2-3 minutes
  • 2. Add frozen green chile (Bueno is the best if you can get it) add in one tub-ful of good water. Cook to thaw.
  • 3. Add diced potatoes and pork. Add in Rotel tomatoes and chicken stock. Add in a pinch of Mexican oregano (yes, there is a difference), salt and pepper to taste. I also add in just a pinch of red chile flakes for color. Turn the heat down low and simmer gently on the stove until potatoes are tender. Serve with warm flour tortillas and butter.
