Chopper's Green Chile

2 pounds diced pork
1 teaspoon salt
5 1/2 cups water
1/4 pound margarine
1/2 large yellow onion, medium dice
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 tablespoon granulated garlic
1 tablespoon chili powder
3/4 cup flour
2 1/2 cups chicken broth
1 7-ounce can Hatch hot chiles, chopped
2 7-ounce cans Hatch mild chiles, chopped

In a medium covered saucepot, simmer pork in salted water until tender, about 1 1/2 hours.

In a large, heavy pot over medium heat, melt margarine. Add chopped onion, oregano and granulated garlic. Sweat the onion till softened.

Stir in the flour to make a roux, stirring constantly and adding a little more margarine if needed. Cook roux until lightly browned. Add chicken broth a little at a time, whisking until smooth. Add the chiles, chili powder and the pork - including all the liquid it was cooked in.

Gently simmer mixture, stirring occasionally, until thickened.
