Fay's Green Chile Stew (Chile Verde)
This is a recipe that I got from a Mexican cookbook but the name escapes me. I do know that I have made it for many years and it only gets better. It doubles and triples and freezes well. Chunks of pork, green chilies, mixed together with onions and savory seasonings will have you going for seconds!
