I have a pot of this on my stove as we speak. If it tastes half as good as it smells, tomorrow's dinner is going to be amazing! I roasted some green chilis to add to this stew. I'll post that recipe next.
Fry 3 of 4 strips of bacon in a heavy pan. Remove and reserve crisp bacon. Brown 1lb cubed pork, beef, or other meat in the bacon fat. Add 5 cloves of garlic, diced and 2 onions chopped. Saute until onion browns a bit.
Add 1 can stale beer, 5 bay leaves, a dash of vinegar, 1/2 to 1 tsp. cumin, 1 to 2 tbsp. leaf oregano, freshly ground black pepper to taste, water to cover everything in the pan.
Simmer until meat is getting tender, probably an hour or two.
Then add 3 potatoes, cubed, salt to taste and 1 tsp. sugar. Add enough water or stock to cover well.
Simmer until potatoes are beginning to get a bit tender. Stir occasionally, but gently so that you don't break up the potatoes. When potatoes are getting tender, add a cup or two of roasted and peeled green chilis cut into rather large pieces.
Simmer a few more minutes until the potatoes are nice and tender. The recipe says to garnish with the bacon but I added it to the stew right at the end.
Serve with warm tortillas.
