Pork and Green Chile Stew #KitchenMatrixCookingChallenge

We are still cooking Mexican in our Kitchen Matrix group this month.  This week Cam of Culinary Adventures with Camilla, asked us to be inspired by the section for Mexican Soups.

Each Tuesday of 2018 we are making and sharing a recipe inspired by the Cookbook written by Mark Bittman.  Bittman's cookbook is more of a cooking guide than a hard and set recipe book.  

The recipe that inspired me was Bittman's Pork and Green Chile Stew.  It starts off having you roast and peel the chiles.  This method is the easiest that I have found to date.  Line a baking pan with foil and plop on your chiles.  Stick them in a hot oven until they blacken and fall into themselves.  Wrap them up in the same foil that they baked on and let them steam until they are cool enough to handle.  Peel and seed them under running water. 

The stew itself was very easy to make and impressively delicious.  This meal will become a regular in this household.  We could not get enough of it.

I pretty much followed Bittman's suggestions except that I started with pork stew meat and I allowed the stew to cook much longer.  I think stew needs a long slow braise.  I like my stew meat to be fork tender.  We served this up with warmed flour tortillas.  I think it would be delicious over rice too.
