I’m making a sample Green Chile Stew for Ken and Jess’ wedding. I will post the actual recipe later, but my “secret” is to smoke the whole chickens before I do anything else. I’m using apricot wood, but any hardwood will do. Fruit is best.
Does anyone have any cool tips or hints on Green Chile Stew? Post in the comments.
I’ll be serving it in pumpkins. I think it will be very nice that way. Gonner showed me a stew he makes with green chile etc. that he finishes in a pumpkin. Good stuff.
I prefer to use 2 parts beef stock and 1 part chicken. And leave out the seeds, so my white doesn’t show
Nice tip. I am going 100% chicken this time. I’ll give that a shot another time.
I like using black beans in my stew instead of pinto beans, I also use fire roasted diced tomatoes instead of just regular ones, gives it a nice flavor.
I don’t use beans or tomatoes in mine. Just not a fan of either in a real green chile stew. Tomatoes are traditional… but no beans for me!
I don’t use meat most of the time in mine so beans are the protein, I was a vegetarian for a long time, pretty much until I got pregnant and my doctor told me I needed meat protein.
Ah. That makes total sense! Add some rice on the side and you have a complete protein!
I’m thinking I might actually throw some tomatoes in the stew…
tomatillos…
Stew came out awesome.
