Add marinated pork, a slight amount of oil and 1/4 cup flour to a skillet. Fry until there's a good sear on your pork. About 5 minutes on high.
Add 2 bottles beer and allow pork to simmer covered for 1 hour. Add additional beer if needed. Stir regularly.
Add drained onions and your vegetable mixture to your skillet. Add 2 cups beef broth and allow to simmer for 25 minutes longer. Stir regularly.
Add potatoes [and additional broth or beer if needed] and simmer until potatoes are soft but still fully in tact. About 15 minutes.
Add your bucket of Hatch Green Chilies to skillet half way thru your potato boil.
Or, peel, de-seed and chop your fresh Hatch Chilies and add to your skillet.
Instead of using broth and frozen chilies - I like to purchase my chilies fresh. I peel and de-seed them in warm bath then, fine strain and reserve all fluid. I'll use this fluid as opposed to beef broth.
Drained green chili fluid pictured. It does make for a rich delicious broth!
Fresh Cilantro pictured.
Add your fresh cilantro 5 minutes prior to serving. Mix well. I'll also add additional cumin and green chili powder in the last 5 minutes to steep. Make sure you've simmered off any fluids in this dish. You'll want it thick! ;0)
Serve with fresh, warm flour tortillas, fresh chilled chopped onions, tomatoes, cilantro, shredded lettuce, cabbage, limes, cheese and sour cream to the side.
Or, go old school and serve this dish only with warm tortillas. Either way, enjoy your authentic, extra spicy taste of New Mexico!
