GREEN CHILE STEW

Steps:

• In a large Dutch oven or heavy stock pot, heat the oil over medium-high temperature. When the top of the oil is shimmering, add half of the pork. Allow it to sit in the hot pan to develop a sear before stirring; allow to brown. Remove from pan to a plate. Repeat for the second half of the pork.
• Add the onions to the pan and sauté until softened (2-3 minutes). Add the garlic and stir together.
• Return the meat (and any accumulated juices on the plate) to the pan along with the chicken stock, potatoes, salt and green chilies. Bring to a boil, reduce temperature to allow stew to simmer. Simmer for 1 hour.
• Serve garnished with torn cilantro leaves, diced red pepper and a bit of grated cheese if desired.

GREEN CHILI WITH PORK AND ROASTED CHILES

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat to 400 F. When oven is hot, roast the green chiles until charred on all sides. Alternatively, use the oven's broiler to char the chiles, turning so all sides are blackened (or char on the open flame of a gas stove, using tongs to turn).
• Cover chiles with foil and allow them to steam and cool down for at least 15 minutes.
• Pull off chile stems, scrape off and remove peels, remove seeds, and chop into small pieces. Set chiles aside.
• Peel and thinly slice onion .
• In a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven, heat the lard on medium. When the lard melts, add onions, chiles, and salt. Stir well and cook until onions are soft, about 3 minutes.
• Transfer the vegetables to a bowl, leaving as much fat in pot as possible.
• Brown pork pieces, working in single layer batches. Repeat process until all pieces are browned. Remove from pot and set aside.
• Add flour to remaining fat that's left in the pot and stir rapidly.
• Keep stirring until flour smells cooked, about 3 minutes.
• Add beer, stir, and scrape up any brown bits from bottom of pot. The mixture should thicken up fairly quickly.
• Add broth and return pork and vegetables to the pot. Everything should be covered by liquid - add more broth or water if necessary.
• Bring mixture to a boil, then reduce to a simmer, and cook, covered, until the pork is extremely tender, about 1 hour.
• If you like a thicker texture, uncover the pot and cook further. Taste for salt and add more if needed.
