Tips:

  • Choose the right peppers: Look for fresh, deep green chile peppers that are firm and unblemished. Avoid peppers that are bruised or have soft spots.
  • Roast the peppers properly: Roasting the peppers brings out their flavor and makes them easier to peel. To roast the peppers, place them on a baking sheet and broil them in the oven until the skins are blackened and blistered. Alternatively, you can roast the peppers over an open flame on a grill.
  • Peel the peppers carefully: Once the peppers are roasted, let them cool slightly before peeling them. Use a sharp knife to carefully peel the skin off the peppers, taking care not to remove too much of the flesh.
  • Use a variety of meats: This stew is traditionally made with pork, but you can also use beef, chicken, or lamb. If you are using a leaner meat, such as chicken or turkey, you may want to add some extra fat, such as bacon or olive oil, to the stew.
  • Simmer the stew for a long time: The longer you simmer the stew, the more flavorful it will be. Simmer the stew for at least 1 hour, or up to 2 hours, or even longer if you have the time.
  • Serve with your favorite toppings: This stew is traditionally served with cornbread, tortillas, or rice. You can also top the stew with shredded cheese, sour cream, or guacamole.

Conclusion:

New Mexico green chile stew is a delicious and hearty dish that is perfect for a cold winter day.
