Idaho Chili Stew Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler and line a baking sheet with foil.
• Put the tomatillos, poblanos, jalapeno and serrano pepper on the prepared baking sheet and toss with the olive oil. Place under the broiler and cook, carefully removing the baking sheet and flipping once halfway, until the peppers are blistered and charred all over, 5 to 6 minutes. Allow to cool while you prepare the pork.
• Season the pork with 1 tablespoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Sprinkle over the flour and toss to coat. Heat the vegetable oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add half the pork and cook until browned on all sides, 3 to 4 minutes; remove to a plate. Repeat with the remaining pork.
• Lower the heat to medium and stir in the garlic, carrots, onions, oregano and chile powder. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions have softened, 4 to 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Meanwhile, peel and seed the poblanos. Chop the poblanos, jalapeno, serrano and tomatillos. Stir into the pot with the vegetables. Add the stock and bay leaves and return the seared pork. Bring to a boil, then lower to a gentle simmer. Cover and cook until the pork is extremely tender, about 1 hour. Check the pot occasionally, making sure there is enough liquid. Add a little more stock or water as needed.
• Remove the bay leaves and stir in the cilantro and lime juice. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
• If serving immediately, spoon into bowls and top with the grated cheese, sour cream and cilantro. Serve with lime wedges and warmed tortillas
• To freeze, allow the stew to cool completely. Transfer to a deep 9-by-13-inch foil pan and wrap tightly with foil and plastic wrap. Put the grated cheese in a labeled quart-size resealable plastic bag. Put the stew, cheese and a pack of tortillas onto a baking sheet and freeze.
• To serve, remove the meal kit from the freezer. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Remove the foil and plastic wrap from the stew, then return the foil. Bake until heated through, 50 to 55 minutes. Let the tortillas and cheese thaw while the stew reheats, then remove the tortillas from the pack, wrap in foil and warm in the oven for the last 10 minutes while the stew is cooking.
• Serve the stew in bowls with the fixins -- cheese, cilantro and tortillas alongside some sour cream and lime wedges.

Steps:

• Put diced potatoes in a saucepan and add enough water until the potatoes are just covered. Bring the potatoes to a boil over high heat, and then reduce to a simmer. Simmer the potatoes for 20 minutes then add in the ground beef, onions, and green chiles. Let the stew continue to cook until the potatoes are fork tender and the beef is cooked all the way through, another 10 to 20 minutes. Season the stew with garlic salt and serve warm.

Steps:

• In a Dutch oven or large saucepan, cook the beef, onion and green pepper over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Stir in remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in a large saucepan.
• Bring to boil, reduce heat.
• Cover and simmer 30 minutes, or till lentils are tender.
• Stir occasionally.

Steps:

• In a large pot over medium heat, heat the oil and brown the stew meat and the onions until onions are translucent; about 5 minutes
• Pour in the diced tomatoes with chiles, beef broth and chile peppers. Stir in the garlic salt and cumin. Salt and pepper to taste.
• Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 1 hour. Add a little more beef broth or water if needed during simmering.
• Stir in cubed potatoes to the mixture and simmer for an additional 30 minutes or until potatoes are tender.

Steps:

• In a large non-stick pot, add olive oil and diced onions. Cook the onions until carmelized. Add the diced bell peppers, and then add the beef and toss often to brown all sides of the beef cubes. Meanwhile, boil some water and pour in a separate bowl with the tomatoes and pasilla peppers. Let stand for about 10-15 minutes. Peel the tomatoes (the peels should come off very easily after soaking in the hot water). Slice the pasillas open, remove the seeds & stems, and chop (roughly). Take 2 of the tomatoes and place in a blender with the chopped pasillas and blend - - this will make a mole-like paste. Add to the pot. Blend the remaining tomatoes and add to the pot, stirring frequently. Add-in the cocoa powder, Ortega chili peppers and corn. Let the mixture cook on simmer for about 90 minutes.
• Then remove the beef cubes and add-in the black beans. Pull the beef cubes apart (shred) with 2 forks and this will give you a nice pile of shredded beef. If the beef is thoroughly cooked, then it should be tender enough to do this pretty easily). Once done shredding, add the beef back into the pot and stir-in the spices. Cook for an additional 30 minutes. Enjoy!

Steps:

• Place the ground beef and onion in a large skillet over medium heat, and cook and stir until the beef and onion are browned, 10 to 15 minutes. Break the meat apart as it cooks. Drain excess fat.
• Place the browned beef mixture into a soup pot, and stir in hominy, corn, potatoes, green chilies, salsa, diced tomatoes, and water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, and reduce heat to a simmer. Cook until the potatoes are tender, about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
