There have been recipe threads in the past. There used to be a poster here by the name of Zenster (now sadly banned after a couple of meltdowns) who curated at least two that I remember. [Here’s an aggregate thread](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-ultimate-recipe-thread-index/39168) done by him. Doesn’t mean you can’t start a new one, though. 😃 Here’s a nice cold-weather stew. I don’t use Hatch chilis because of the heat factor. I use anaheims, which give a bit of heat, but not blistering. Sorry about all the weird bolding. **Green Chili Stew** INGREDIENTS **12 hatch** green chilies (if not available anaheim will work too)\*\* **2 lbs pork shoulder** **2 tablespoons vegetable oil 1 ⁄2 cup , finely chopped 2 minced garlic cloves 6 cupschicken broth 6 ounces beer 1 ⁄2 teaspoon oregano 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon pepper 3 bay leaves 1⁄2 teaspoon cumin 1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes 3 large** potatoes, diced 1/2-inch **2 tablespoons** butter **2 tablespoons** flour DIRECTIONS Broil green chiles in the oven turning often to evenly darken skin making sure they don’t burn. Remove from oven and cover with a dish cloth for 10 minutes to steam the skins off. While the chiles are resting, cube the meat, sprinkle with salt & pepper and brown with onions & garlic in oil in a large pot for 5 minutes. Add broth, half a can of beer, spices. Bring to a simmer. Let simmer for 1 hour or until meat falls apart. Peel skin from chiles, chop and add to the pot (including the seeds). Let simmer for 30 minutes then add the tomatoes & potatoes (add a cup of hot water if needed). Simmer until potatoes are done. Melt butter in a small skillet & add flour, cook for 2 minutes stirring constantly – add to the pot. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/general-recipe-thread/973890)._
