Fay's Green Chile Stew (Chile Verde)

"This is a recipe that I got from a Mexican cookbook but the name escapes me. I do know that I have made it for many years and it only gets better. It doubles and triples and freezes well. Chunks of pork, green chilies, mixed together with onions and savory seasonings will have you going for seconds!"

  1. This is a very nice stew. It was so tasty. Thanks for posting.
     
  2. WOW! Loaded with flavor! Pork butt is the right cut for this stew, as "white meat" pork tends to not be as tender. My son and I literally gobbled this up; his with a tortilla, sour cream and cheese, and me just as is. Loved this!
     
  3. We loved this!! I added a generous amount of crushed red pepper and served over brown rice. Wonderful the first night, but truly amazing as leftovers. Thanks for sharing, Fluff :)
     
  4. Nice, tasty dish. Only made half of the recipe as there are only three of us and I knew that two pounds of pork would make way too much for us. Served with corn bread. Made for Zaar Chef Alphabet Soup.

I would like to welcome you to my recipes. I have been with Food.com since 10/05. My beloved husband, Tom, passed away 3 years ago. My world stopped. It's taken me all this time to find my way back to life without him. I have been so blessed to have found my second, once in a lifetime. I've met an amazing man who is so good to me. We moved from Las Vegas, Nevada to Bullhead City, Az. in February, and we love it here. I have worked at Bally's and Paris hotel.casinos, in Las Vegas. I have seen some very famous entertainers, including Liza Minnelli, Penn and Teller, Ray Liotta, Dr. J (Julius Erving), Frank Sinatra and his wife Barbara Marx. and many, many more. Cooking is my passion, and I am slowly, but surely beginning to venture into the world of baking. To me, cooking is so much easier because baking is so much more exact. I love to make Italian and Mexican food the best, followed by Chinese and last, but by far the least, good old American food! How can you beat chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes and gravy?? I love to find several recipes and put my own spin on them and create a new recipe.
