VEGETARIAN GREEN CHILE STEW RECIPE:
Ingredients:
- 1½ tbsp olive oil
- 1-2 cups roasted homegrown green chiles, peeled, deseeded, and diced
- Mushrooms (optional)
- 3-5 Potatoes, diced (optional, but we love potatoes in this!)
- 1 onion, diced
- 2-4 Garlic Cloves, chopped finely
- 2 tsp salt
- 1½ tsp cumin
- 1½ tsp Mexican Oregano (dried, or use fresh if you got it)
- 1 tsp pepper (white or regular)
- 2 tbsp flour (if you use potatoes, you can not use flour if desired, which also makes this vegan stew gluten-free)
- 2 cups water (or more if needed)
- 1-2 Cups / Cans of Pinto Beans or Cannellini Beans (optional, we love to make beans from dried beans, but you can also use canned beans, we rinse canned beans with water first.)
- fresh cilantro (optional)
- fresh diced avocado (optional)
Directions:
Heat large soup pot over medium-high heat. Add 1½ tbsp of olive oil and mushrooms to brown (optional, feel free to omit if you don't like mushrooms). Sauté the garlic, onion, potatoes, salt, cumin, oregano and pepper for a couple minutes to brown. Add flour and stir until it starts to turn brown, then add Hatch green chiles, water, and mushrooms. Stir well to combine. Bring to a boil, add beans (optional), then reduce heat to low and simmer for about 1 hour to combine flavors.
Alternative Crockpot Version:
Brown mushrooms, onions, potatoes and garlic in a cast iron pan, then add everything to the crockpot and cook on high for 4-6 hours or low for 6-8 hours.
