Description

A warm, comforting stew made with tender pork, roasted green chiles, and hearty potatoes, simmered to perfection just like Grandma used to make.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds pork shoulder, cut into bite-sized cubes
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 6 roasted green chiles, peeled, seeded, and chopped
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 3 large russet potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 2 medium tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
  2. Add vegetable oil and brown the pork cubes until golden on all sides.
  3. Stir in the onions and garlic, cooking until fragrant and softened.
  4. Add the roasted green chiles, tomatoes, cumin, and oregano, mixing well.
  5. Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a simmer.
  6. Add the diced potatoes, reduce heat, and cook until pork is tender and potatoes are soft, about 45 minutes.
  7. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  8. Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.

Notes

  • For extra heat, leave some seeds in the green chiles.
  • This stew tastes even better the next day after flavors meld together.
  • Serve with warm flour tortillas or crusty bread for a complete meal.
