Pork and Green Chile Mexican Stew
  1. 1

    Heat oil in a large Dutch oven or large pot over medium heat.

  2. 2

    Spread flour in a wide, shallow dish; add the pork and turn to coat, shaking off any excess.

  3. 3

    Cook the coated pork in the hot oil until fully browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in the onion and garlic; keep cooking and stirring until the onion softens, about 5 minutes. Pour in the tomatoes, green chilies, and 2 tablespoons cilantro over the pork mixture; stir. Cover and simmer until the pork is tender and no longer pink in the center, about 40 minutes.

  4. 4

    Whisk the cold water and cornstarch in a small bowl until smooth; stir into the liquid in the Dutch oven and continue cooking until the sauce thickens, 5 to 10 minutes.

  5. 5

    Remove the Dutch oven from the heat and let it sit for 10 to 15 minutes. Ladle the stew into bowls; top with cheese and your preferred amount of cilantro to serve.

How easyChef Pro Scores This Recipe

easyChef Pro gives every recipe a health score from 0 to 100, built from more than 30 nutritional parameters including nutrient density, energy density and glycemic impact. It calculates rather than estimates, so the same recipe returns the same score every time.

The number is traceable. You can see exactly which nutrient moved it, so a dish scoring 78 might show fiber pushing it up while sodium pulls it down, alongside the NOVA processing level of each ingredient.

Your health goal changes the calculation itself, not just a filter. easyChef Pro applies clinically derived weighting across six health dimensions, which is why the same dish can score well for one goal and poorly for another.

Swap an ingredient or change the serving size and that math changes with it. Scoring your own version is the only way to see what your kitchen actually produces.
