GREEN CHILE STEW: How to Make New Mexico Style Green Chile Stew Using Hatch Chile/Easy Recipe



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. Read on for the full recipe.

Green Chile Stew

1 1/2 lbs. pork meat or beef chuck/steak, cut into cubes
1 1/2 cups Hatch green chile, roasted, peeled, and chopped
4 russet potatoes, cut into bite-sized cubes
2 tomatoes, chopped into cubes
1 medium white or yellow onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
approx. 5 cups chicken or beef broth
salt to taste (I use about 1 1/2 tsp.)
1/2 tsp. ground pepper
1 tsp. cumin

Place large saucepan over medium high heat on stovetop. Put in just enough olive oil to coat bottom of pan. Toss in pork or beef and sear. (Remove any excess liquid that may have been rendered & add additional oil if necessary.) Form a well in pan and toss in chopped onion. Fry until translucent. Add in garlic, tomatoes, chile, and allow to cook down a few minute. Add in potatoes and pour in just enough chicken or beef stock to cover all ingredients. Season with salt, pepper, and cumin. When it comes to a boil, reduce heat, cover with lid, and allow to cook 45 minutes to an hour, until meat and potatoes are fork tender. Serve hot and enjoy!

  1. It looks so delicious! I will cook this I never added meat but I will this time👍🥰thank you.

  2. If I missed the recipe, sorry. Looks good! How many and what variety Hatch Chile? Also, how much cumin, salt and pepper & what variety potato?

  3. I love this channel because I’m born and raised in New Mexico and this is exactly the food and the way it’s cooked in my family. Love it!

  4. Excellent base I substitute Brisket for the Pork.. So I guess it is a Tex Mex.. But no switching out the Hatch!! Also have some Brisket pastrami going to add in just for some kick

  5. I made this on Friday night and had it tonight! Boy oh boy, it was absolutely delicious! Thank you so much for sharing! 🙂

  6. Thank you for that loving inspirational plaque on your kitchen wall
    If anything I needed that more.
    But sure can't wait to try your recipe..

  7. I make it kind of similar but add tomatillos instead of tomatoes, ham hocks, and jalapeños. But I can never find Hatch chilies so use Anaheim and pablanos.

  8. Thanks for the video it reminds me of home (El Paso). I got my Hatch Chills going to make it Sunday in time for the cold to hit Dallas, Tx. Blessings to you and yours!!

  9. There are no brown bits at the bottom of the pot because you crowded it with the pork. High heat and small batches will get you that fond.

  10. I love green chile stew. My mom and brother always make it on a cold New Mexico day. I also love taking some left over in my thermos food jar on a cold fishing day. I always say red chile posole and green chile stew are New Mexico comfort food.

  11. Put the whole onion in the freezer for a couple of minutes, just enough to freeze the juice a tiny bit before you cut it. No more crying!!

  12. My hatch chili's are way to hot so I just use two peppers and remove the seeds. My husband can't tolerate the heat.

  13. Native New Mexican here! Love your channel !! My Gramma taught me when chopping onions "BREATHE THRU YOUR MOUTH" and your eyes will never water again !!

  14. This makes me so hungry. I remember eating some green chili stew, and the house would smell like Pueblo oven bread, and having the stew with the bread was a perfect way to end a cold, chilly October night.

    Good recipe! Keep it up!!!

  15. I bought 80LBS. (two sacks) of Hatch Extra hot to get me through to this years harvest and I've already dun out, Yeah I can eat green chili in one form or another pretty much every day.
    And green chili stew is one of my favorites!!!! Winter or Summer it's all good to me!

  16. Corn kernels (aka) Steamed Corn Native American Style Green Chile Stew with Fry bread…. Mmmmm Damn… I ❤ New Mexico… My HOME
