I cobbled together elements from three green chili stew recipes to form a super recipe.  I put together an ingredient list and directions for my version at the bottom.

The short advice is I used neither cumin nor tomatoes though I did use a couple pounds of frozen (bought on-line) hot green chilies.  I also used some leftover elk steak as part of the meat (in lieu of adding beef or more pork) next to a pound of pork butt, and I added both ground flax seed and oat bran (both as thickeners and for a fiber and micro nutrient boost).

The Best Green Chile Stew

https://barefeetinthekitchen.com/best-green-chile-stew-recipe/

Ingredients:

• 1-2 lbs pork stew meat or pork shoulder chopped into ½ inch pieces
• ¼ C all-purpose flour or cornstarch
  • [This is meant for thickening.  I used flax and bran instead]
• ½ t kosher salt
• ½ t freshly ground black pepper
• ½ t garlic powder
  • [I use fresh but either should suffice.  Not required to use both but can do.]
• 1 T olive oil
• ½ yellow onion chopped into ½ inch pieces
• 3 large cloves garlic minced
• 7 oz chopped green chili (about ¾ cup worth, frozen works fine)
  • [More will be required.  Find frozen hot on-line.]
• 28 oz green chili enchilada sauce (about 3½ C)
  • [Just no.  Get good green chilies and let them shine.]
• 3 C chicken stock or water, plus 1 tablespoon chicken base
  • [Not “or water”.  Get or make stock.  Low or no sodium is fine.  Only use the base if you are making a poor-man’s stock, and then prefer Better than Bouillon.]
• ½ t kosher salt (adjust to taste)
• 4 C diced potatoes (about 2 large potatoes)

Directions:

• Combine the pork, flour, pepper and garlic powder in a gallon size Ziploc bag. Shake to coat thoroughly and then set aside.
• In a large pot over medium heat, warm the oil. Add the fresh garlic and onion and saut until translucent, approximately 2-3 minutes.
• Add the dusted pork and cook until browned, approximately 5 minutes. Add the chilies, enchilada sauce, stock and salt and bring to a boil. Cover and simmer on low for 45 minutes.
• Add the potatoes and raise heat to boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are tender, approximately 15 minutes.
• Enjoy!
• Or in a slow cooker:
  • Combine all ingredients in the slow cooker pot and cover.
  • Cook on high for 6 hours or until potatoes and pork are tender.

This recipe doubles beautifully!

New Mexico Green Chile Stew

https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/184197/new-mexico-green-chile-stew/

Ingredients:

• 1 lb beef tenderloin, cubed
  • [Filet mignon in stew?  Or just save your money and get rump or something cheap.]
• 1 lb boneless pork loin, cubed
• ¼ C masa harina
  • [Again, thickener.  Could be used in conjunction with the flax and bran if you want that flavor included.]
• 1 T olive oil
• 1 red onion, chopped
  • [I used yellow.  Red will give a stronger onion flavor.]
• 3 C chopped fresh tomatoes
• 2 C diced green chili peppers
  • [Probably more.]
• 2 C low-sodium beef broth
  • [I think I would stick to chicken.]
• 1 T ground cumin
  • [Skip.  Let the chili shine.  ]
• 1 large potato, cubed
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 t chopped fresh oregano
  • [Skip.  Let the chili shine.  ]
• 2 t chopped fresh cilantro
  • [Skip.  Let the chili shine.  ]
• dash cayenne pepper (optional)
  • [Definitely use.  ]
• salt and white pepper to taste

Directions:

• Place the beef tenderloin cubes, pork loin cubes, and masa harina in a plastic bag and shake to coat the meat. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook and stir the meat cubes until evenly browned (about 10 minutes).
• Place the meat, red onion, tomatoes, green chili peppers, beef broth, cumin, potato, garlic, oregano, cilantro, cayenne pepper, salt, and white pepper in a slow cooker. Cook on low until the meat is tender, about 8 hours.

My version…

Ingredients:

• olive oil
• 1 ½ lbs pork butt (small cubes)
• 1 ½ lbs elk steaks (leftover, small cubes)
• 2 onions yellow diced
• 3 C potatoes diced
• 3-6 T each ground flax seed + oat bran
• 4-6 garlic cloves
• 32 oz IPA
• 8 C chicken stock (homemade)
• 2 lb green chili hot (from frozen)
• 3-4 bay leaves
• salt, pepper (black and white), cayenne (not optional, duh)

Directions:

• Quickly brown pork cubes in olive oil (in batches if required) and remove to bowl with a slotted spoon.
• Gently fry onion in remaining oil and pork renderings.
• Before they brown add the potatoes.
• Add the flax and bran and garlic.
• Add the beer, stock, green chili, and bay leaves.
• The salt can be added all at the end but I tend to add some to the friend onions and then adjust to taste once all the liquid has been added.
• Simmer for as long as you can stand (you want the meat to be fall-apart tender).  I would guess at least one hour.  I simmered my first batch for maybe four or five.
• Serve with crusty bread, especially a baguette.

Enjoy!
