Recipe for Green Chili Stew

Here is another recipe that I got from Cooking Light. I love the heat contrasted with the sweetness of the sweet potato and the corn. Every bite is a mystery, you never know what combination is going to end up on your spoon.

Green Chili Stew

1 lb. ground beef, pork or turkey
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
3 cloves garlic chopped
1 red onion, diced
2 heaping cups chopped roasted Hatch chiles
1 large or 2 smaller sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
2 ears of fresh sweet corn, cut off the cob
1 14-oz can fire roasted diced tomatoes
3 cups broth, or so- as needed
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
Sea salt and ground pepper, to taste
1-2 fresh limes
A pinch of sugar, if needed

For serving:

Sliced avocado
Sour cream
Fresh cilantro or mint, chopped

Preperation:

Brown the ground meat in a large skillet and pour off the fat. Dump the meat into the slow cooker or Crock Pot. Add the olive oil, garlic, onion, roasted Hatch chiles, sweet potato, corn and tomatoes. Stir together. Pour enough broth over the ingredients to cover for a light brothy effect. Slow cook for 3 hours.
