CHILI VERDE


2-3 pounds boneless pork – cubed

2 onions chopped

6 cloves garlic minced

2 29-ounce cans green chilies

2 15-ounce cans stewed tomatoes (squished)

1 teaspoon oregano

salt and pepper to taste


Brown pork in oil after seasoning it with granulated garlic and pepper.
Remove and drain. Brown onions and garlic in same oil. Add tomatoes and pork back into pot with onions, garlic and enough water to cover meat. Cook until tender adding more water if needed. Add chilies 10 minutes before serving.

 
I like to use whole chilies cut up so pieces will be larger. You can add dried chilies
or fresh jalapenos for a spicier stew. Thin with water when is too thick.
