Apache Stew

2 Red bell peppers
5 Green anaheim chiles

1 lb Venison, cut into 1 1/2 inch cubes
1 Onion, diced
3 Garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 Carrots, sliced
3 c Cooked Indian hominy
8 c Water

Roast the peppers, then peel, seed, and cut into long strips. Roast the chiles, then peel, seed, devein and dice.

Heat the oil in a large stew pot over medium-high heat. When the oil is almost smoking, add the venison and cook until the meat is lightly browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the onion and garlic and saute 2 minutes more.

Stir in the carrots, peppers, and chiles and cook 1 minute more. Add the hominy, water, salt, and pepper and bring the mixture ot a boil. Reduce the heat to low and let the stew simmer 1 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally to prevent burning, until the meat is very tender. Just before serving, add the tumbleweed greens, stir 1 minute and spoon into bowls.
