Since it's winter, I thought I'd start sharing some of my recipes for my favorite soups and stews. Last week I made Green Chile Stew. The thing I love about stew is you can put anything you want in it, and that is exactly what I did. I go grocery shopping every other week and we were low on a lot of groceries. Luckily, for me, I had everything I needed for a decent green chile stew. So here is what you will need (or what I had available):
3 small potatoes (I bought a 5lb bag and they were all tiny) 1 can of corn 1 can of green beans 1/2 of a roma tomato 1lb of beef stew meat 1 Mexican squash As much onion as you like (I used about half an onion) As much chopped green chile as you like (I used about 1 cup then added a little bit more) 1 TBSP of Knorr Caldo de Tomate (bouillon) Salt and pepper to taste Enough water to cover all ingredients Optional: Colby Jack Cheese to top Instructions: I start by washing and chopping all my vegetables. I start with my onion and finely chop it. (Anthony is very picky about onion so I don't use a lot, and if I do, I toss it in my food processor to make it smaller.) I chop my potatoes into about inch size chunks. The same goes for my Mexican squash. I finely chop my chile into little squares. As for my tomato, I just chop it into chunks. (I'm not good at describing how I chop my vegetables I just do it.) Then I start browning my stew meat with my chopped onion. Feel free to season meat with salt and pepper. While meat is browning, I start boiling my potatoes, and squash in a big pot. Once meat is cooked, drain excess grease, and add meat and onion to the potatoes and squash. I boil this mixture for about 20 minutes, then I add tomatoes, chile, corn, green beans, and Caldo de Tomate. I add more water to cover the ingredients then let it cook another 40 minutes. Cooking the stew takes about an hour to an hour and half. How I usually check if it's done is checking to see if the potatoes are fully cooked. If potatoes are soft, your stew is ready! Serve and if you like, add cheese to top. I hope you enjoy my recipe for Green Chile Stew!
