Red Chile Stew on a plate
Makes: 8 servings
Total Cost: $$$$

Spicy and savory, this four ingredient stew is simple and delicious.

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds pork (cut into small pieces, save some fat)
  • 3 dried red chiles (more or less depending on taste)
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • salt (optional)

Directions

  1. Wash hands with soap and water.
  2. Wash chilies, removing stems and seeds. Place in blender with 1 cup water and blend into paste.
  3. Put pork fat into deep skillet until there is enough on the bottom of the skillet to prevent meat from sticking. Discard remaining fat.
  4. Brown pork lightly. Add the chili paste and mix well, adding water if mixture is too thick. Add oregano and garlic. Cover pan and simmer slowly for one hour.
