• In a Dutch oven, brown pork in oil over medium heat on all sides. Add onion and garlic; saute for 3-5 minutes. Drain. Add the water, tomatoes, chilies, potatoes and seasonings; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 45 minutes. , Add beans; cover and simmer for 20-30 minutes or until the meat and vegetables are tender.

Steps:

• In a large skillet over medium high heat, brown the pork in oil, doing so in 2 to 3 batches.
• Place the meat in 3 to 4-quart covered casserole and add celery, tomatoes, chilies, and garlic.
• Add about 1 cup chicken broth or water to skillet pork was cooked in, stirring over high heat to scrape up browned bits on bottom and bring to boil. Add to pot with enough additional water or broth to barely cover the ingredients. Cover and simmer until stew is thick and meat very tender, about 1 1/2 hours. Add salt to taste before serving. If stew is not hot enough, add a bit of jalapeno salsa.

Steps:

• In a large skillet, brown pork and onion in oil in batches. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Transfer to a 5-qt. slow cooker., Stir in the potatoes, water, hominy, chiles, tapioca, garlic, oregano and cumin. Cover and cook on low until meat is tender, 7-9 hours, stirring in cilantro during the last 30 minutes of cooking. If desired, serve with sour cream and additional cilantro.

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler and line a baking sheet with foil.
• Put the tomatillos, poblanos, jalapeno and serrano pepper on the prepared baking sheet and toss with the olive oil. Place under the broiler and cook, carefully removing the baking sheet and flipping once halfway, until the peppers are blistered and charred all over, 5 to 6 minutes. Allow to cool while you prepare the pork.
• Season the pork with 1 tablespoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Sprinkle over the flour and toss to coat. Heat the vegetable oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add half the pork and cook until browned on all sides, 3 to 4 minutes; remove to a plate. Repeat with the remaining pork.
• Lower the heat to medium and stir in the garlic, carrots, onions, oregano and chile powder. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions have softened, 4 to 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Meanwhile, peel and seed the poblanos. Chop the poblanos, jalapeno, serrano and tomatillos. Stir into the pot with the vegetables. Add the stock and bay leaves and return the seared pork. Bring to a boil, then lower to a gentle simmer. Cover and cook until the pork is extremely tender, about 1 hour. Check the pot occasionally, making sure there is enough liquid. Add a little more stock or water as needed.
• Remove the bay leaves and stir in the cilantro and lime juice. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
• If serving immediately, spoon into bowls and top with the grated cheese, sour cream and cilantro. Serve with lime wedges and warmed tortillas
• To freeze, allow the stew to cool completely. Transfer to a deep 9-by-13-inch foil pan and wrap tightly with foil and plastic wrap. Put the grated cheese in a labeled quart-size resealable plastic bag. Put the stew, cheese and a pack of tortillas onto a baking sheet and freeze.
• To serve, remove the meal kit from the freezer. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Remove the foil and plastic wrap from the stew, then return the foil. Bake until heated through, 50 to 55 minutes. Let the tortillas and cheese thaw while the stew reheats, then remove the tortillas from the pack, wrap in foil and warm in the oven for the last 10 minutes while the stew is cooking.
• Serve the stew in bowls with the fixins -- cheese, cilantro and tortillas alongside some sour cream and lime wedges.

Steps:

• 1. Season the pork meat generously with salt and pepper.
• 2. Heat oil in a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium high heat and brown pork chunks well in small batches, on all sides. Remove pork and put into a large Dutch oven.
• 3. Discard fat and place the onions and peppers in the same skillet and sweat over moderate heat, stirring occasionally until limp, about 5 minutes.
• 4. Add all of the chiles and cook an additional 3-4 minutes, then add the garlic and cook 1-2 minutes more.
• 5. Add the Sauteed vegetables, pureed tomatillos, dried herbs, RoTel tomatoes, and cilantro to the meat. Cover with the chicken stock, bring to a boil, then reduce to a slight simmer. Cook for 2-3 hours uncovered or until the pork is fork tender.
• 6. Adjust the seasoning to taste with salt and pepper. Serve with red rice for a delightful contrast.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Place bones into a heavy roasting pan and add enough water to cover bottom of pan. Cover pan with a tight fitting lid and cook until browned. You may need to add more water while it is cooking so be sure to check.
• In a large stock pot, combine browned boned, chilies, potatoes, tomatoes, onion, celery, cumin, chili pepper and liquid. Simmer for 5 to 6 hours.
• Remove bones from soup, remove any meat, and place meat back into soup. Once vegetables are tender, serve.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large Dutch oven or large pot over medium heat.
• Spread flour into a wide, shallow dish; add pork and turn to coat, shaking off excess.
• Cook coated pork in hot oil until completely browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir onion and garlic in with the pork; continue cooking and stirring until the onion softens, about 5 minutes. Pour diced tomatoes, green chilies, and 2 tablespoons cilantro over the pork mixture; stir. Place a cover on the Dutch oven and simmer the mixture until pork is tender and no longer pink in the center, about 40 minutes.
• Whisk cold water and cornstarch together in a small bowl; stir into the liquid in the Dutch oven and continue cooking until the sauce thickens, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Remove Dutch oven from heat; let dish rest 10 to 15 minutes. Ladle into bowls and top with cheese and desired amount of cilantro to serve.

Steps:

• POTATO SOUP BASE: Heat oil in 2 quart saucepan, add all ingredients, cover and simmer for 5 minutes.
• Set aside.
• PORK Dredge pork chunks in the flour mixture, heat vegetable oil in a sturdy Dutch oven or soup pot, and cook the pork in batches till browned.
• Once you're done, place all the pork back in the pot.
• Add the SOUP BASE, and potatoes,chilies,chicken broth,and hominy.
• Bring to a boil,then simmer for 45 minutes to an hour.
• Creative Additions-- For a richer flavor, add sour cream to the soup base.
• Use shredded Cheddar or Monterey Jack for garnish.
• Serve with tortilla chips or Saltines.
• I sometimes add Frank's Hot Sauce to MY bowl.

Steps:

• In a 3-1/2 quart crockpot, combine the pork, potatoes, onions, green chiles, and corn kernels.
• In a bowl, combine the sugar, cumin or chili powder, oregano and salsa verde. Mix well to combine and pour over contents of crockpot. Mix entire contents by stirring gently.
• Cover crockpot and cook until tender on LO heat for 6-8 hours. Or cook on HI heat for 4-5 hours.
• Serve stew over hot cooked rice and garnish with chopped cilantro.

Steps:

• • Dredge pork cubes in Masa Flour in plastic bag until all pieces are coated.
• • Brown in oil in large Dutch oven or pot - set aside.
• • Add butter to same pan, lightly cook onion until slightly colored (not browned) - then add garlic cook 1-2 minutes until aromatic.
• • Add small amount of chicken stock to browned bottom of pot/dutch oven - as stock heats up, scrape browned bits off of the pan to create a roux. After all bits are scraped, add remaining stock to pan.
• • Add remaining ingredients to same pan (except green chiles and added Masa). Bring to slow boil, then cover, reduce to simmer for about 30 minutes -- then add green chiles and cook until pork is tender - a little over an hour is usually good - too long and the meat will toughen. Make sure it NEVER BOILS as it will cook too fast. Sometimes I turn the stove off after about 40 minutes to make sure it cooks slowly.
• • Add salt/pepper to taste.
• • After 45 minutes, check consistency - if it needs to be thicker slowly add a small amount of Masa at a time and stir until thick - shouldn't be more than 2 tablespoons The chiles will breakdown into the roux while cooking. Taste for heat - if you like it spicy, add a couple of diced serrano chiles. Garnish with sour cream and cilantro. Serve with corn bread or homemade tortillas -- and several Tecate's or margaritas!
• Do not add beer like other recipes suggest - it will dilute the chile flavor and can add a bitterness. NEVER used canned chiles as they don't have much flavor. New Mexican chiles (Big Jims) are the best -- you can buy them online already roasted and peeled (www.newmexicanconnection.com) Otherwise use fresh Anaheims or Big Jims and roast on the grill until skins turn brown/black - place in a brown paper bag to steam the skins off. Do not rinse them under water as it removes the flavorful oils. Organic chicken stock is fine, but don't use low sodium.

Steps:

• Mix flour, cumin, pepper, salt, and sage in a gallon-size zipper bag.
• Add meat cubes and shake to coat thoroughly.
• Heat oil in a large skillet.
• Brown pork in batches (meat will be crispier that way); remove from skillet when browned and place in the crock of a 4-6 quart slow cooker.
• With the heat still on, add the vinegar to the skillet and quickly scrape up the browned bits left in the pan (the vinegar will reduce quite rapidly).
• Add the vinegar reduction to the meat in the crock.
• Add onions, potatoes, salsa, broth, and brown sugar to the crock and stir well.
• Cook on low for 8-10 hours (or high for 4-5 hours, if you can't wait that long).
• If you would like the stew to be a bit thicker, mash a few of the potatoes.
• Serve with slabs of warm cornbread (such as my recipe for Mexican Cornbread).
