Green Chili Pork Stew

Pork Green Chili Recipe

Pork recipes show up on my dinner table with frequency. I almost couldn’t believe it when I realized I’d never shared a recipe for a pork stew. Since we also love all things chili and spicy around here, combining pork with roasted hatch chiles and spices to make a green chili recipe was a no brainer.

This recipe works beautifully with convenient boneless country style ribs. If you don’t have boneless ribs available, pork green chili stew also tastes great made with leaner center cut pork loin or sirloin steaks.

I learned about some of these more economical cuts when I spent some time with my friends at the Pork Board in Illinois last month. The key is to look for a cut that has a little bit of marbled fat through it since it will be simmering.

Pork is one of my go-to’s for quick, satisfying meals because it’s economical and forgiving not to mention easy to prepare. I am thankful to the U.S. pig farmers for making my dinner preparation so easy.

Back to pork chili, though. Because that’s why we’re all here right now.

Simmered with onions, garlic, roasted green chiles and Chicken Stock , the pork cubes create an unbelievably flavourful stew. The addition of white beans and potatoes make the chili completely hearty and filling (although all my boys were still able to wolf down several bowls, somehow).

At the end of cooking, the chopped cilantro and lime juice give a bright and fresh flavor to this rich stew. I scooped a big helping of sour cream on top of mine along with a generous handful of fritos. I bet it would also be fantastic with a little Mexican cheese sprinkled on top.

Warming and irresistibly delicious, I have a feeling Pork Green Chili Stew is getting added to our repertoire of most frequently requested pork recipes. It’s right up there with Easy Garlic Ginger Glazed Sticky Pork, Apple Cider Pulled Pork, and Garlic Ginger Crispy Pork Noodles on the favourites list, folks. That’s high praise, indeed!

I’ll put fritos into just about any soup or salad that comes my way and if you’re corn chip nuts, too, you’ll love adding them to this stew. Pork Green Chili Stew would also be amazing served with a fresh pan of Buttermilk Cornbread or tortilla chips!

I love how versatile this recipe is. Make it on the stove top or whip it up in a flash in the instant pot. If you plan ahead, you can also everything to your crock pot and let it simmer all day (filling your house with a to-die-for aroma).

I can’t imagine anything better to come home to than a big pot of Pork Green Chile ready to eat. Okay, maybe my kids and husband. But this Pork Green Chili Stew is up there, folks.

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 1 to 1 1/2 pounds boneless country rib pork cut into ½-inch cubes
• 1/4 cup all purpose flour you can substitute gf flour if desired
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic
• 2 tablespoons sunflower or pure olive oil
• 1/2 yellow onion diced
• 6 large cloves garlic minced
• cumin
• 3/4 cup or a 7-ounce can diced green chile
• 3 1/2 cups or 28 oz can salsa verde
• 4 cups chicken stock
• 1 tablespoon chicken base such as Better than Bouillon
• 4 cups diced potatoes about 2 large white or gold potatoes
• 1 can small white beans or navy beans drained and rinsed

Instructions

 

• Add the pork cubes, flour, salt, black pepper, and granulated garlic to a gallon sized zipper top bag, seal the bag, and shake to evenly coat the pork.

To Make Pork Green Chili on the Stove top:

• Drizzle 1 tablespoon of the oil into a heavy-bottomed stockpot or soup pot over medium heat. Add the pork cubes and brown them on all sides. Transfer the pork to a plate.
• Add the remaining oil to the pan along with the diced onion. Stir and sautee until the onion is semi-translucent, lowering the heat if needed to avoid scorching the onion, about 3 minutes.
• Stir in the garlic and cumin and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
• Stir in the browned pork, diced green chile, salsa verde, chicken stock, chicken base, and potatoes. Cover and simmer on LOW for 45 minutes, or until the pork and potatoes are tender. Stir in the beans and cook just until heated through.

To Make Pork Green Chili in a Slow Cooker:

• Drizzle 1 tablespoon of the oil into a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat. Add the pork cubes and brown them on all sides. Transfer the pork to your slow cooker.
• Add the remaining oil to the pan along with the diced onion. Stir and sautee until the onion is semi-translucent, lowering the heat if needed to avoid scorching the onion, about 3 minutes.
• Stir in the garlic and cumin and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Scrape this into the slow cooker.
• Stir in the browned pork, diced green chile, salsa verde, chicken stock, chicken base, and potatoes. Cover and simmer on LOW for 6 hours (or as long as 8 hours if you need to be away from the slow cooker), or until the pork and potatoes are tender. Stir in the beans and cook just until heated through.

To Make Pork Green Chili in an Instant Pot/Countertop Pressure Cooker:

• Drizzle 1 tablespoon of the oil into the pan of your Instant Pot set to sautee. Add the pork cubes and brown them on all sides. Transfer the pork to a plate.
• Add the remaining oil to the pan along with the diced onion. Stir and sautee until the onion is semi-translucent, lowering the heat if needed to avoid scorching the onion, about 3 minutes.
• Stir in the garlic and cumin and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
• Stir in the browned pork, diced green chile, salsa verde, chicken stock, chicken base, and potatoes. Cover and cook on HIGH PRESSURE for 30 minutes, or until the pork and potatoes are tender. Carefully release the pressure, then stir in the beans and cook just until heated through.
