* Note: See the "Blended Red Chile Pods" recipe which is included in this collection.

Heat a Dutch oven or heavy kettle and add the oil or shortening. Brown the meat well. Stir in the flour, being careful to coat the meat well. Add 1 1/2 cups water, stirring carefully until the mixture thickens. Add the doubled Blended Red Chile Pod recipe and the optional tomato sauce.

Cover and simmer for 1 hour or until the meat is very tender. That is the basic dish. It can be served with beans or just as it is. You might try serving this over cornbread for a very delicious meal.
