Ingredients
  • 2 lbs diced pork (preferably pork loin)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 5½ cups water
  • ¼ lb margarine
  • ½ large yellow onion, medium dice
  • ½ tsp dried oregano
  • ½ tbsp granulated garlic
  • 1 tbsp chili powder
  • ¾ cup flour
  • 2½ cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup diced hot Hatch green chiles (or 1 7 oz can)
  • 2 cups diced mild Hatch green chiles (or 2 7 oz cans)
Instructions
  1. Put the pork, salt, and water in a medium pot, and simmer, covered, until tender, about 1½ hours.
  2. In a large, heavy pot over medium heat, melt margarine, then add onion, garlic, and oregano. Saute until onion softens.
  3. Stirring constantly, add the flour to make a roux, adding more margarine if needed. If trying to cut down on margarine, gradually add chicken broth to maintain a stirable consistency. Cook the roux until lightly browned, then add a bit of chicken broth at a time, whisking until smooth.
  4. Add the chiles, chili powder and the pork - including all the liquid it was cooked in.
  5. Gently simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened.
