1/2 tbsp dried oregano
1.5 pounds (or so?) diced potato
Salt/pepper

Are you a vegetarian now? Otherwise why not add chicken?

[pinback]

I'm not vegetarian, but when I'm allowed to choose/cook my own meal, I generally go that way.

You can add chicken, but I just wanted a nice light veggie-based green chile stew.

Here's the chicken version: Do the same thing but add chicken. Boom.

Pinner, I have some Green Chiles laying around and wanted to try this recipe! I was curious about how a few alterations may adjust the taste?

1. Using Chicken Broth.
2. Slightly caramelized onions.
3. Gee instead of Olive Oil.
4. Minced bell peppers.
5. Lentils instead of potatoes.

How should I know?

Don't use lentils that got a lot of DDT in the 80s and the effects last to this very day.

A tip!
