Green chile stew #2

4 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1 pounds Pork back bones with meat on (ask your butcher)
4 Whole fresh tomatoes
3 Jalapenos or chiles of your choice (you may want to over do the chiles since this will cook for awhile and mellow)
½ Dozen New Mexico green chiles or Anaheim (Note: these are used for their flavor not heat)
1 pounds Boneless pork

Directions

Lets talk Green Chile, there is no one recipe and everyone has there own way of doing it, Hey if we all did it alike we might start looking alike, then we would talk alike, then we could fool the goverment, then we would'nt have to pay taxes... Ahhh I digress. back to the subject: I like to try different green sauces and for the most part have liked them all. This is my favorite its based on the Green Chile I use to get while in Denver at Las Delicias or El Parral.

Use a 4 or 5 quart stockpot. Heat stockpot on medium high then when hot add olive oil (1 Tbs) and right after that add pork bones and brown. Once brown, add tomatoes and jalapenos cut in in pieces and continue to cook and stir. Once you've cooked the tomatoes with the bones for about 5 minutes add water to cover. "Simmer for two hours minimum (Yes..we are creating a pork stock with a mild tomato base)".

Now the fun part... put the green chiles under the broiler and blacken then place in a paper bag for 10 minutes while the skin steams itself loose.

Peel skin off then chop without the seeds (Do not rinse chiles at this time as you will rinse off the flavor).

OK were getting closer... now strain your broth eliminating bones, tomato pieces and jalapeno.

Now add boneless pork to the empty stockpot you just used with a little bit of olive oil and brown small chunks of pork (chop into small ½ inch pieces). When complete add stock and green chiles and let simmer for two hours to infuse Green Chile Flavor.

This dish is extremely rich in flavor, the heat will be noticed but when it tastes this good even non-chs will come back for more. My usual way of eating this is poured over bean burritos with cheese sprinkled over the top. Also great with eggs over easy.
