Green Chili Stew, a Mexican Recipe

This recipe for green chili stew is simple to make. But if you have been reading this blog for a while you know I like simple. :) I tend to cook it on the stove, but it would be perfect for the crock pot or slow cooker. Once you brown the meat put everything in the slow cooker and cook all day on low.

Green Chili Stew Recipe

2 lbs. lean pork, cubed
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 cup chopped onion
flour for dredging
2 T. oil
3 cans chopped green chilies
1 15 oz can diced tomatoes
1 can hominy, drained OR 2 or 3 cubed red potatoes
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp dried oregano

Dredge pork in flour, shaking off excess. Heat a dutch oven, add the oil and brown the pork. Add the rest of the ingredients except water. Add just enough water to cover everything. Bring to boil, cover and turn down to a simmer. Cook until the pork is tender, stirring occasionally and adding more water if needed. Cook approx 1 and 1/2 to 2 hrs. Garnish with cheese. Also good served over rice.

I'm off to Westgate for a little shopping. I've got to get going so I don't miss happy hour with my hubby later!
