Ingredients
- 6 large Hatch green chiles, roasted, peeled, and chopped
- 2 pounds Pork shoulder, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 large Yellow onion, diced
- 4 Garlic cloves, minced
- 3 medium Potatoes, peeled and diced
- 4 cups Chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- 1 teaspoon Oregano
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Begin by roasting the Hatch green chiles, if not already roasted. Place them on a baking sheet under a broiler, turning occasionally, until the skin is blistered and charred (about 8-10 minutes). Once cooled, peel off the skin, remove the stems and seeds, and chop finely. Set aside.
Step 2
Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat.
Step 3
Season the pork shoulder cubes with salt and black pepper and sear them in the hot oil until browned on all sides (about 5-7 minutes). Remove the pork and set aside.
Step 4
In the same pot, add the diced yellow onion and minced garlic. Sauté until softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 5
Add the roasted Hatch green chiles, cumin, and oregano. Stir to combine, allowing the spices to bloom for 1-2 minutes.
Step 6
Return the seared pork to the pot. Add the diced potatoes and chicken broth. Stir well to ensure everything is evenly mixed.
Step 7
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Simmer for about 60-75 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pork is tender and the potatoes are cooked through.
Step 8
Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
Step 9
Serve hot. This stew is excellent on its own or served with warm tortillas, a side of rice, or even a dollop of sour cream for added richness.
