The Best Green Chile Stew

Ingredients

  1. 1-2 pounds pork stew meat or pork shoulder (chopped into ½” pieces)
  2. ¼ cup all-purpose flour (or cornstarch)
  3. ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  4. ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  5. ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  6. 1 tablespoon olive oil
  7. ½ yellow onion (chopped into 1/2 “ pieces)
  8. 3 large cloves garlic (minced)
  9. 7 ounces chopped green chile (about 3/4 cup worth (frozen works fine))
  10. 28 ounces green chile enchilada sauce (about 3½ cups worth)
  11. 3 cups chicken stock (or water, plus 1 tablespoon chicken base)
  12. ½ teaspoon kosher salt (adjust to taste)
  13. 4 cups diced potatoes (about 2 large potatoes)

Instructions

  1. Combine the pork, flour, pepper and garlic powder in a gallon size Ziploc bag. Shake to coat thoroughly and then set aside.
  2. In a large pot over medium heat, warm the oil. Add the fresh garlic and onion and sauté until translucent, approximately 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add the dusted pork and cook until browned, approximately 5 minutes. Add the chiles, enchilada sauce, stock and salt and bring to a boil. Cover and simmer on low for 45 minutes.
  4. Add the potatoes and raise heat to boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are tender, approximately 15 minutes. Enjoy!
