DrBBQ’s Swamp Venom Green Chile Stew

By Ray Lampe, Dr. BBQ

This green chile stew is a classic New Mexico dish with a Dizzy Pig spin. This recipe is loosely based on a recipe from my late great friend Scott Barrett who used it for a top 10 finish at the World Chili Championships. The pork shoulder country style ribs work great, but any cut of pork or even leftovers will work fine. I use canned green chiles because that’s all I can get here in Florida. If you can get fresh roasted or even good quality frozen chiles, use them.
