Ingredients
- 8 Hatch chile peppers, or more as needed
- 2 pounds pork butt, cut into 1-inch chunks
- ½ cup water
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon oil, or as needed
- 1 onion, diced
- 6 cloves garlic, pressed
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 4 cups chicken broth, or more as needed
- 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes
- 1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Place Hatch chiles directly on the grates of a gas stove. Cook over medium heat, flipping with tongs occasionally, until blackened and charred, about 5 minutes. Place in a sealed plastic bag and allow to cool, 7 to 8 minutes.
- Peel off charred skins, remove seeds, and cut 1/2 of the chiles into 1-inch squares. Set aside. Place remaining chiles in a food processor and process until finely chopped. Add processed chiles to chopped chiles. Set aside.
- Combine pork cubes, water, and salt in a Dutch oven. Cover and cook over medium heat for 20 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes. Uncover, raise heat to medium-high, and cook, stirring constantly until the water evaporates and the pork browns in its rendered fat, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove pork and set aside.
- Heat oil in the Dutch oven. Add onion; cook and stir until soft and translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Add garlic and cumin and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in flour and cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Add chiles, pork, chicken broth, canned tomatoes, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until pork cubes are fork-tender, about 1 1/2 hours.

We added potatoes but otherwise left everything else unchanged. This was SUPER hearty and delicious with tortilla chips!
Thank you, Thank you for an AUTHENTIC version of Chile Verde! My husband and I grew up in Las Cruces, NM, and this is a taste of home! One of my kids had borrowed my recipe book and I needed a chile verde recipe and this is the only one with the right ingredients. In our house, tomatillos, poblanos and peppers not from Hatch, NM should never be added. Potatoes may be added or not, but only Hatch green chiles please 😀
This is a wonderful recipe for the fresh roasted Hatch green chilies. We made three different meals. The first night we made burritos, they were great. The second night I served it over Lime cilantro rice, it was delicious, my favorite. The third night I added some black beans and corn kernels cut from the cob and a little chicken broth to make a soup, with fresh cilantro and sliced green onions for garnish. Great soup!
I made this with what I had on hand. Used a pork loin, it worked well. I used some frozen Hatch Chilis I had roasted this summer and they worked well. I did add some potatoes as I prefer potatoes in my green chili stew and it came out excellent. The stew was quite thick so made excellent burritos.
Made it with chicken since my sister doesn’t eat pork. Great recipe!
Absolutely delicious. Followed the recipe to a tee. did not change anything. A bit on the spicy side because my hatch chilis were ‘hot’. Topped with sour cream to help with the spiciness. I loved the sour cream with theis and will serve it like that from now on.
I already had roasted and peeled Hatch green chili in the freezer so i skipped the roasting and peeling part of the recipe. I used 10 Big Jim peppers (medium heat) for the recipe. I made the remainder of the recipe as written. The recipe was easy to follow. Like Christopher I also added two diced potatoes during the last 20 minutes of the cooking phase being we prefer potatoes in our green chili stew. This is a delicious dish and i will definitely make this again. Thanks for sharing.
This was delicious. I made it as written, scaled for a 3lb Pork Shoulder Burt Roast, with one addition. I cubed 2 russet potato’s and added them in the last 20-25 min of cooking. I love Hatch Green Chile. Although this was really good, next time I will probably add even more green Chile. Thank you for the recipe.
