2 cups roasted green chilies, skins removed. Use Anaheim or 2 cups big jim chilies
32 ounces chicken stock or 32 ounces vegetable stock
1 12-2 lbs ground chuck or 1 12-2 lbs pork shoulder, Trim excess fat cut into 1 to 1 . 5 inch cubes, you want meat with a good fat content, as no fat mea
8 garlic cloves, minced (you won't taste the garlic, it just adds marvelous depth to the flavor, and is also very healthy)
1 large yellow onion, coarsely diced (not minced)
1 large idaho potato, diced (1/4-inch dice)
1 -2 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
flour or masa harina
kosher salt
minced serrano peppers (optional) or jalapeno pepper, for optional garnish (optional)

1
Put two-three T's of either flour or masa harina in a plastic bag with generous salt and pepper; dredge the meat.
2
Heat oil (I use grape seed oil - it takes a high heat and is healthy) or lard to med high in either a cast iron pan or dutch oven large enough to hold the dish, and brown the meat in batches, removing to a plate when nicely browned.
3
Reduce heat to low and add some oil if needed.
4
Soften the onion - 4-5 minutes.
5
Do not brown it - just color it.
6
Put all ingredients in the dutch oven or a pot.
7
Keep the residue in which you browned the meat and softened the onions - it has become a sort of roux and will nicely thicken the stew.
8
Bring to a boil, immediately reduce to simmer.
9
Cover and simmer one hour, until the meat is very, very tender.
10
Don't over cook.
11
After 15 minutes of simmer, add salt to taste.
12
Serve in bowls with good french bread or cornbread.
13
If you want it hotter, add the minced peppers to taste.
