PORK GREEN CHILE STEW

Steps:

• • Dredge pork cubes in Masa Flour in plastic bag until all pieces are coated.
• • Brown in oil in large Dutch oven or pot - set aside.
• • Add butter to same pan, lightly cook onion until slightly colored (not browned) - then add garlic cook 1-2 minutes until aromatic.
• • Add small amount of chicken stock to browned bottom of pot/dutch oven - as stock heats up, scrape browned bits off of the pan to create a roux. After all bits are scraped, add remaining stock to pan.
• • Add remaining ingredients to same pan (except green chiles and added Masa). Bring to slow boil, then cover, reduce to simmer for about 30 minutes -- then add green chiles and cook until pork is tender - a little over an hour is usually good - too long and the meat will toughen. Make sure it NEVER BOILS as it will cook too fast. Sometimes I turn the stove off after about 40 minutes to make sure it cooks slowly.
• • Add salt/pepper to taste.
• • After 45 minutes, check consistency - if it needs to be thicker slowly add a small amount of Masa at a time and stir until thick - shouldn't be more than 2 tablespoons The chiles will breakdown into the roux while cooking. Taste for heat - if you like it spicy, add a couple of diced serrano chiles. Garnish with sour cream and cilantro. Serve with corn bread or homemade tortillas -- and several Tecate's or margaritas!
• Do not add beer like other recipes suggest - it will dilute the chile flavor and can add a bitterness. NEVER used canned chiles as they don't have much flavor. New Mexican chiles (Big Jims) are the best -- you can buy them online already roasted and peeled (www.newmexicanconnection.com) Otherwise use fresh Anaheims or Big Jims and roast on the grill until skins turn brown/black - place in a brown paper bag to steam the skins off. Do not rinse them under water as it removes the flavorful oils. Organic chicken stock is fine, but don't use low sodium.

GREEN CHILI PORK STEW
