It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).

This vibrant verde stew with meat, potatoes, and fresh green chiles is as striking in flavor as it is in color. South of the border flavor wherever you are!

ingredients
2 pounds lean beef round or pork
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons oil
3 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
1/2 cup diced onion
1 clove garlic, minced
8 fresh green chiles, seeded and sliced
water, as needed
directions
Cut the meat into cubes and season with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the meat and cook, stirring frequently, until browned.
Stir the potatoes into the meat. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the onion, garlic, and green chiles. Mix well.
Add just enough water to cover the ingredients in the pan. Bring just to a simmer and let cook for 20 minutes or until the meat is tender and the potatoes are soft. Add more water if needed.
Serve the green chile stew hot.

The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.

Funny I grew up in New Mexico and my mother and grandmother of Mexican descent made this exact recipe Enjoy... don't be afraid to use other green chilis to add heat and flavor ... Sorrano or jalapeno
