Hatch Green Chile Recipe

Hatch Green Chile Recipe

Get out those roasted Hatch chiles in your freezer and make up a batch of this delicious stew that is sure to warm up any winter night. This is great served in a bowl, or is also great for smothering burritos or enchiladas. 

 

HATCH GREEN CHILE RECIPE:

Ingredients:

  • 1½ tbsp olive oil
  • 1 cup roasted homegrown Hatch green chiles, peeled and diced
  • 2 lbs of pork or chicken, cubed (or go vegan and instead use pinto beans, crumbled sauteed tofu and/or mushrooms if desired)
  • 3 Potatoes, diced (optional, but we love potatoes in this!)
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 5+ Garlic Cloves, chopped finely
  • 1 can of petite-diced Tomatoes
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1½ tsp cumin
  • 1½ tsp Mexican oregano (or regular oregano)
  • 1 tsp pepper (white or regular)
  • 2 tbsp flour (or skip if gluten-free)
  • 2 cups water (or more if needed)

For Serving (optional):


Directions:
Heat large soup pot over medium-high heat. Add 1½ tbsp of olive oil and brown the pork, chicken, crumbled tofu or mushrooms, then place into bowl to rest. Add a little more oil, saute the onion and garlic until golden and fragrant, and then add potatoes, beans, salt, cumin, oregano and pepper for a couple minutes to brown. Add flour and stir until it starts to turn brown, then add the roasted Hatch green chiles, tomatoes,  water, and pork or other protein. Stir well to combine. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for about 1 hour until the pork is tender.

Alternative Crockpot Version:
Brown pork, chicken, mushrooms or tofu in a cast iron skillet first, then add everything to the crockpot and cook on high for 4-6 hours or low for 6-8 hours. 

Serve this delicious Hatch Green Chile stew with tortillas and fresh cilantro, and even some diced avocado, shredded cheese and fresh onions on top.
