Green Chile Stew

If you've ever wanted to learn How to Make New Mexico Style Green Chile Stew Using Hatch Green Chile, this easy recipe is for you. I just got back from Hatch, New Mexico, where I loaded up on enough Hatch green chile to get me through the year. And this stew is the very first thing I made with it once I got home. Green Chile Stew is meaty and savory, with tender pieces of pork or beef, potatoes, tomatoes, and of course the wonderful flavor of roasted green chile. For New Mexicans, like me, it's comfort food.
