Recipe: Green Chile Stew (using pork)

GREEN CHILE STEW

1 1/2 lbs of lean pork cut as for stew
1/2 cup seasoned flour
Oil for browning
2 onions, peeled and cut up
2 cans (16 oz. each) low sodium chicken broth
Water
1 (28 oz.) can tomatoes (or equivalent fresh)
2 carrots, sliced
2 medium potatoes, cut for stew
10 roasted fresh green chiles, peeled and cut in chunks (or 2 cans of whole green chiles)
Salt and pepper, to taste

Cut up pork as for stew, dredge in seasoned flour and brown in oil, in batches. Return all pork to pot and add onions, let brown for a few minutes.

Add chicken broth. Add water to cover pork. Add canned tomatoes and carrots. Cook at a simmer for 45 minutes then add potatoes and continue cooking another 1/2 hour, adding water as needed (I usually don't need to, as veggies make water).

Add coarsely chopped green chiles and cook another 1/2 hour.

Taste and correct salt and pepper.
