Green Chili Stew

This is some of the most delicious stew you will ever eat. It has a little kick to it but it isn't too spicy for kids. This is my mom's recipe and it is especially good on a cold, wintery day with some tortillas or chips and a big salad.

Ingredients:
1/4 cup vegetable oil
3-4 pounds pork or beef stew meat (I use tenderized round steak because we have a lot of it.)
3 7 oz. cans of chopped green chilies
1 onion, chopped
1-2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and diced
32 oz. carton of beef stock
1 lg. can crushed tomatoes with liquid
3-4 T. chili powder
3-4 T. cumin
salt/pepper
Flour
Cilantro

Directions:
Cut meat into bite size pieces and dust with flour that has salt and pepper added. Heat oil in a large stock pot. Divide meat, onions, jalapenos into two batches and brown in heated oil. After all the meat has been browned a little, return all meat, onions and jalapenos to stock pot and add all remaining ingredients except the hominy. Bring to a boil and turn heat down to very low and let it simmer for about 30 minutes. Be sure to check often and stir. You may choose to add a little more stock depending on the consistency you like. After it has simmered add the hominy and cook for another 10 minutes on low. Serve with cilantro as a garnish.

This is also a great dish to take to a sick friend. They will be feeling better in no time once they eat this Green Chili Stew!
