Pueblo Indian tradition calls for the addition of corn or potatoes to this dish. Serve with a big green salad and a pile of warm tortillas. It also makes a wonderful filling for enchiladas.

Allrecipes

ingredients

  • 1.25kg (3 lb) boneless pork fillet, cubed
  • 3 tablespoons groundnut oil
  • 3 stalks celery, chopped
  • 2 tomatoes, chopped
  • 7 green chillies, chopped
  • 4 cloves crushed garlic
  • 1L (1 3/4 pints) chicken stock
  • salt to taste

preparation method

  1.   In a large frying pan over medium high heat, brown the pork in oil, doing so in 2 to 3 batches.
  2.   Place the meat in 3 to 4 litre covered casserole and add celery, tomatoes, chillies and garlic.
  3.   Add about 1/4 of the chicken stock to frying pan the 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 stock 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.

    I made this stew for the first time for a party. It was a HUGE hit! Since then, I have made it several times for friends, family and colleagues. I am always asked for the recipe. I have used both beef and pork, and either meat works really well. I love that you can adjust the heat according to taste and stomachs.

    Review: MORO

    This is much like Mexican Posole. I added 1 tsp. ground cumin. Delish! My 3 year old didn't care for it much, too much spice I suppose? I cooked it in my slow cooker. Thanks
