GREEN CHILE STEW

Steps:

• Start by peeling and cubing the potato into 1/2-inch diameter pieces and set aside.
• Next, in a saute pan on medium heat, cook the ground beef and lightly sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• While the beef is cooking, place 4 cups water in a stock pot with the potatoes and bring to a boil. Cook the potatoes until fork tender; do not cook until the potatoes mash.
• When all the rawness is cooked out of the beef, turn off the heat. Slowly add the flour while mixing into the beef in order to make a roux. Mix the flour into the beef completely until no dry flour remains. (Depending on the fat ratio of the beef, you may need to add more or less flour. This all depends on how thick you want your stew in texture.)
• Once your roux is complete, add to the stockpot with the cooked potatoes. The meat may be in large pieces, so with a large spoon, break up into desired size. Once the meat is fully broken down, add the green chiles, corn, green chili powder, 2 teaspoons salt and 2 teaspoons black pepper. Fully mix all the ingredients and place the stockpot back on the stove top. Bring up to temperature on medium heat. Once the soup is at proper serving temperature, serve in medium bowls and enjoy. Feel free to add cheese or sour cream if desired.
• Optional serving suggestions: grated cheese, sour cream.

• If using chicken thighs: Add chicken thighs with the carrots. Skim off any fat which rises to the surface periodically while simmering ingredients.
• Add the remaining vegetables and simmer until the vegetables are almost tender, about 45 minutes to an hour.
• If using chicken thighs: Pull chicken thighs from stew and let cool on a cutting board. When chicken has cooled, pull meat off of bones and shred into bite-size pieces. If using rotisserie chicken: Pull meat off of bones; discard skin and shred chicken into bite-size pieces.
• Add chicken to stew and stir to combine. Taste for seasoning and add salt and pepper as needed, and cumin to taste. If you don't like cumin too much, you can always use less; same for salt and pepper.
• Stir in cilantro and green onions (if desired) and simmer for a few more minutes.
• A note about the chiles: Hatch green chiles are best, and the heat in the stew depends primarily on the heat of the chiles. If your chiles are mild and you prefer more heat, you can add cayenne as desired. If hatch chiles are unavailable, you can also use Anaheim chiles. Roast them yourself on the grill, under a broiler, or on your gas cooktop until the skins are charred. Wrap in plastic foil for a few minutes until skin has softened, then scrape charred skin off of chiles.
