Green Chili Pork Stew

This one is great. its a good cold weather meal. this weekend is going to be cold so guess what, make it! i didn't take a pic served up so here is one right as it started cooking. The recipe is very easy. chop some stuff up, put it in a pot, and let it go. it makes quite a bit so get some Tupperware ready. breakfast anyone?



Green Chile Pork Stew
24 green chilies, fresh or canned
2 tablespoons canola oil
2 pounds of lean pork loin, trimmed of all visible fat
2 large yellow onions, finely chopped
3 minced garlic cloves
3 cups stewed fresh tomatoes
1 six-ounce can of salt free tomato paste
2 cups of water
½ teaspoon cumin

If chilies are fresh, parch and peel them, and remove the ribs, seeds and tops. In a large stew pot, heat canola oil and add pork cubes and sauté until lightly brown. Add onions and garlic and brown. Cut chilies into one inch slices and add to the pork and onions. Add remaining ingredients and cook about one hour until the stew is thickened. Adjust the seasonings to your pleasure.

when i make it again i'll use a little more meat. my 2.2 lb tenderloin was a little weak for how much stew it makes. probably 2.75 lbs would be perfect
