Green Chile Stew

I went to the farmer's market the other day with some friends in Dillon. I bought some fresh fire roasted chilies so I made some green chili today for dinner. I have tried several recipes for green chili before and this one is my favorite. I have changed the recipe to a crock pot recipe which makes it super easy. It is great just to eat like a stew with tortillas to dip in it or it is also excellent to use to smother burritos or chimichangas.

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 lbs. boneless pork, cut into chunks to fit into crockpot

1/2 cup chopped onion

2 cloves garlic, minced

1/4 cup flour

2 (14oz) cans diced tomatoes

2 (7oz) cans green chilies chopped, or 2 cups roasted, peeled and chopped green chilies

1 Jalapeno pepper, chopped and seeded

1 tsp Salt

1/2 tsp black pepper

1/2 tsp sugar

1 cup chicken or beef broth

Heat olive oil in frying pan and add onion and garlic. Once softened add flour. Stir for 1 min. Put onion mixture in crockpot and add all other ingredients. Cook on low for 8-10 hours or on high for 4-6 hours. Before serving take out pork chunks and shred add back to pot and serve.
