If you've ever wanted to learn How to Make New Mexico Style Green Chile Stew Using Hatch Green Chile, this easy recipe is for you. It's the very first thing I make when I pick up my yearly supply of Hatch green chile. Green Chile Stew is meaty and savory, with tender pieces of pork or beef, potatoes, tomatoes, and of course the wonderful flavor of roasted green chile. For New Mexicans, like me, it's comfort food.
Place large saucepan over medium high heat on stovetop. Put in just enough olive oil to coat bottom of pan. Toss in pork or beef and sear. (Remove any excess liquid that may have been rendered & add additional oil if necessary.) Form a well in pan and toss in chopped onion. Fry until translucent. Add in garlic, tomatoes, chile, and allow to cook down a few minute. Add in potatoes and pour in just enough chicken or beef stock to cover all ingredients. Season with salt, pepper, and cumin. When it comes to a boil, reduce heat, cover with lid, and allow to cook 45 minutes to an hour, until meat and potatoes are fork tender. Serve hot and enjoy!
