New Mexico Green Chile with Pork is the kind of dish that fills your kitchen with the unmistakable aroma of roasted chiles and slow-simmered comfort. This stew is bold, earthy, and richly layered — a true celebration of Hatch green chiles and the deep, savory flavor they bring. Tender chunks of pork simmer gently with onions, garlic, tomatoes, and spices until everything melds into a warm, hearty bowl of Southwestern goodness.
The beauty of this dish lies in its simplicity. Browning the pork first creates a flavorful foundation, while the roasted green chiles build heat and depth without overwhelming the palate. Tomatoes add subtle acidity, and the optional potatoes offer rustic body and sweetness. As the mixture cooks low and slow, it thickens into a stew that’s cozy, comforting, and perfect for chilly evenings.
This green chile is as versatile as it is delicious. Ladle it over rice, tuck it into burritos, or serve it simply with warm tortillas on the side. A squeeze of lime brightens the flavors beautifully, cutting through the richness of the pork and highlighting the smokiness of the roasted chiles.
