New Mexico Green Chili Stew

Growing up in the 505, it is imperative that you know how to make a great green chili stew. Every one I know has their own way of making this dish. My Mom and my sister Sally make a really good one as well. Here is mine.




Ingrediants:
1lb Ground Beef 90/10
2lb Pork Chunks for Stews
1 Yellow Onion
5 Cloves Garlic
1 Can Sweet Corn
1 Can Fire Roasted Diced Tomatoes
2 Tbsp Veg Oil
6 Tbsp Flour
Salt/Pepper
18-20 Fresh Roasted Green Chilis (peeled)
32oz Chicken Stock
4 medium sized New Potatoes



Directions:
Dice the onion and the garlic. Add oil to the pot and turn to medium high heat. Add the beef, pork and the onion and garlic. Add salt and pepper and stir about 10 min or until beef is cooked through. Add the flour and stir for 5 min. Turn off heat. In a crock pot, add the chicken stock, can of tomatoes and corn, and the potatoes. Add the diced green chilis and the cooked meats. Cook on high for about 1.5 hours or until boiling. Turn crock pot to low and cook anouther 4-5 hours. May need to add more salt at this point to the pot. I added about 1 Tbsp during the cooking. Serve with warm flour tortillas and shredded cheese on top if you like.
