- 2 tomatoes chopped
- 1 medium onion chopped
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 5 cups chicken or beef broth
- 1½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp ground pepper
- 1 tsp cumin

- Bring to boil, then simmer covered for 45 minutes.

Notes
Use roasted Hatch green chiles for the most authentic flavor - frozen or canned work as substitutes
Adjust salt to taste after cooking as broth saltiness varies
For extra heat, add more green chiles or include a diced jalapeño
Stew can be made ahead and tastes even better the next day
If stew becomes too thick, add more broth; if too thin, simmer uncovered to reduce
Pork shoulder or beef chuck roast work best for tender, flavorful meat
Serve with warm flour tortillas or cornbread for a complete meal
