Easy Chili Verde Stew
- 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
- 1/2 whole Yellow Onion, Diced
- 1 whole Carrot, Peeled And Diced
- 1 clove Garlic, Chopped
- 4 cups Cooked Pork, Cubed
- 1 can 28 Oz. Green Enchilada Sauce
- 1 can 12 Oz. Diced Green Chilies
- 1 can 12 Oz. Whole Tomatillos, Core Removed, Chopped
- 16 ounces, fluid Low Salt Chicken Stock
- 4 whole Yukon Gold Potatoes, Cubed Skin On
- 2 cans 15 Oz Cans, Cooked Pinto Beans, Rinsed
- 1/4 cups Fresh Cilantro, Chopped
- Heat olive oil in a large (7-8 quart heavy bottom) pot.
- Once hot, saute onions, carrots and garlic 4 minutes until just translucent, over medium heat.
- Be careful not to brown the mixture, as the garlic will become bitter.
- Add cubed, cooked pork meat.
- Stir to combine and continue cooking over medium.
- (Note: I added the pork roast shoulder bone with meat on it to add a flavor boost.)
- Pour in the enchilada sauce, diced chilis, chopped tomatillos and stir to blend.
- Add chicken stock and bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat, cover and simmer for about an hour for flavors to blend and meat to tenderize.
- After an hour, add potatoes and rinsed pinto bean and bring up to a boil.
- Then, lower heat to medium and cook for 15 20 minutes until potatoes are just fork tender.
- If there is apparent pork fat on surface skim to remove it.
- Taste and adjust for salt.
- Serve with cooked rice if you like and make sure to sprinkle with chopped fresh cilantro.
- You could also sprinkle with grated pepper jack or regular jack cheese.
- Cooks Tips: The mix of canned ingredients can be very salty so that is why it is good to use the low salt chicken stock and rinse beans to removed unnecessary salt.
