Hatch Chili Stew

On a trip to New Mexico, I wanted to find some of these astonishing Hatch Chili so I could make use of them at home. The first thing I wanted to do of course was to make a stew of my own using what I had in the house. This included ground meat, some tinned black beans and those fantastic Hatch Chili’s amongst other things. I know Hatch Chili is seasonal but whether you get it fresh while in season, or frozen during the rest of the year, this recipe is definitely worth the effort, if I say so myself.
