    This is a spicy pork stew - we serve over penne pasta, but it works over rice, too

    10. bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium low and cook uncovered until pork is tender enough to cut with a fork - about 1 hour

    12. while pork cooks, char poblano chiles under the broiler on all sides until skin is blistered and darkened
