Guisado de Chile Verde (Green Chile Stew) by Jack Schidt jack.schidt@snet.net Yield: 6 servings Cooking Time: 1 hour Freezes Well 2 pounds pork or beef, cubed 3 cups tomatoes 1/4 cup flour 2 cups water 2 tablespoons shortening 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder 2 large onions, chopped 2 teaspoons salt 3 cups chopped green chile* 1. Dredge the meat in flour. Place the shortening in a heavy skillet and brown meat at medium heat. Place meat in a large stewing pot. 2. Sauté the onions in the remaining shortening and add to stewing pot. 3. Add all remaining ingredients to stewing pot and simmer at low heat for 1 hour. * Varied amounts may be used. from "Cocinas de New Mexico" published by the Public Service Company of New Mexico My recommendation is to use fresh roasted green chiles, if you can. The canned ones are packed with citric acid and that adds a flavor I don't want in mine, YMMV. Also, I skip the tomatoes, sometimes using tomatillos instead. Chicken or pork stock is better than using water. Jack
