Mike's Green Chile Stew instructions

1. In a large pot, add everything except for the 8 Roasted Hatch Peppers, Potatoes and Hamburger. Boil for approximately 45 minutes. You may not need all 3 boxes of beef broth..

2. Fry hamburger meat in a separate pan. Leave hamburger in larger chunks. Drain if necessary. Place in pot with vegetables..

3. Once vegetables are getting semi soft, add diced potatoes..

4. Boil an additional 30 minutes..

5. In the last 15 minutes of simmering, add your 8 Roasted Hatch Green Chilis (peeled and de-seeded) and your remaining Cilantro to the simmering pot..

6. Some of the flavors in your spices can deplete with long simmer times. With this, I taste test to see if I need more Cumin or Italian Seasoning just prior to serving. I also add Garlic and Onion Powder as well but thats totally up to you. ;0).

7. Since youre using green tomatoes, your stew may taste too acidic. Instead of adding sugar to remedy the acid, add 1/4 tsp Baking Soda to your boiling pot and mix in. Be careful since the sodas reaction will cause your stew to foam up and possibly over momentarily if pot is filled too high. Repeat 1/4 tsp at a time until you're pleased with the acidity level. A general rule of thumb is 1/4 tsp Baking Soda per every 6 Tomatillos or Red Tomatoes..

8. Serve hot with warm flour Tortillas. The Tortillas are meant to tear and dip into your stew..

9. Authors Note: This recipe containing hamburger meat is the cheapest version of this dish and its quite common for larger families with compromised incomes here in New Mexico. You can make this stew with pork shoulder 1" cubes or sirloin cuts. Even chicken is an option. However, if you do choose pork or beef cuts, your stew will require at least 2 hours simmer time. You will also want to lightly season flour your meat with the spices already listed above and brown it with your garlic and onions. Then place them in your broth and additions..
