Step-by-Step Instructions for Hatch Green Chile Stew
  1. In a 4-quart Dutch oven, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Allow it to warm for about 1-2 minutes until shimmering.
  2. Carefully add 2 pounds of pork pieces to the hot oil, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Sear the pork for about 5-7 minutes until all sides are golden brown.
  3. Stir in ½ cup of chopped onions and 1 minced garlic clove. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onions become translucent.
  4. Sprinkle ¼ cup of flour over the sautéed pork and onion mixture and cook while stirring continuously for about 1-2 minutes.
  5. Mix in 2 cups of peeled and chopped fresh tomatoes, 2 cups of roasted and chopped green chiles, and 1 chopped jalapeño pepper. Season with salt, black pepper, and sugar.
  6. Pour in 1 cup of chicken or beef broth, stirring continuously. Allow the mixture to come to a gentle simmer.
  7. Reduce the heat to low, cover the Dutch oven, and let the stew simmer for 1 to 1.5 hours.
  8. Once the pork is fully tender, taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot, ideally with warm tortillas.
