Ingredients
SET 11 tbsp. margarine (I used Country Crock)3 tbsp. flour 1/2 cup low sodium chicken broth 1/2 cup 2% milk salt, pepper, parsley, onion & garlic powders to taste SET 27-10 large green chiles, roasted, peeled, and seeded3 large cloves garlic1/2 medium yellow onion, cut into wedgesSET 36 oz. lean pork, trimmed of all fat & gristle, cubed1/2 tbsp. unsalted butter2 tbsp. flour2 qts. water, dividedSET 41/8 tsp. chili powder1 cube chicken bouillon1/8 tsp. each, sea salt and dried oreganodash cuminOPTIONALAdditional fresh garlic and/or onionGarlic powder and/or onion powder1/4-1/2 tsp. Crushed red pepper, if you like it hotter.
SET 1
Melt margarine on medium heat in small sauce pan, add flour, and stir together (it will be lumpy). Quickly add broth, stir, then add milk and seasonings. Reduce heat and simmer until thickened ( just a few minutes), whisking to get it smooth. Set aside.
SET 2
In a blender or food processor, puree or process all till smooth, adding 1/2 c. water from SET 3 if necessary. Set aside.
SET 3
Melt butter in a large sauce pan on low-medium heat, add pork, and brown. Add flour, stir so meat is well-coated, then pour water in and stir. Increase heat to high, and when water is almost boiling, add ingredients from previous sets. Remove heat, and stir well.
SET 4
Season mixture with all items from SET 4, and add whatever other seasonings you like. Transfer to a slow cooker and cook on low for at least 4 hours (I usually try for 24--this requires additional water). If you are making a stew, add veggies during the last hour or half hour of cooking so they aren't over-cooked.
Serving Size: 4 servings.
