Time 2h50m

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 pounds pork loin or pork shoulder (, trimmed of fat and cut into 1'' pieces)
salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 Tablespoons oil ((vegetable or canola oil))
1 large yellow onion (, chopped)
3 cloves garlic (, minced)
1/2 Tablespoon ground cumin
1/2 Tablespoon dried oregano leaves
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
4 fresh poblano chiles (, seeded and sliced in half)
2 fresh jalapeño peppers (, seeded and sliced in half (*see note))
1.5 pounds fresh tomatillos (, husks removed)
1/2 cup fresh cilantro (, coarsely chopped)

Steps:

  • Season pork pieces on all sides with salt and pepper.
  • Heat a large stock pot over high heat. Add oil. Once hot, sear the pork pieces until browned on all sides.
  • Remove the pork from the pot. Add a little additional oil to pan, if needed.
  • Add onion and saute until tender. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
  • Stir in the cumin and oregano. Return pork to the pot and add the chicken broth.
  • Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 2-4 hours.
  • Meanwhile, make the sauce.
  • Place rack on second to top level of oven and turn the oven to high broil.
  • Lightly spray a jelly roll pan with cooking oil. Wash the poblano peppers, jalapeños and tomatillos.
  • Slice the tomatillo and both types of peppers in half, and remove stems. Seed the peppers and remove the white veins inside if if you do not want the chile verde to be very spicy. (See my note below about spice level). Do not seed the tomatillos.
  • Place the poblano peppers, jalapeño and tomatillos on baking sheets cut side down. Broil for about 7-10 minutes or until browned.
  • Immediately place peppers in a plastic bag and tie the bag. Allow them to steam for 5 minutes, and then peel off their outer layer of skin. (It should come off easily)
  • Add the peppers, tomatillos and cilantro to a blender and puree.
  • Add mixture to the pot with the pork and cook everything together for an additional 30 to 45 minutes.
  • Serve with tortillas, and a side of Mexican rice and beans.

Braised Pork With Green Chile Sauce of Chile Verde image

My DD makes this chile verde whenever we get together for Mexican dinners. It is a family favorite. The recipe is from a Sunset Mexican Cookbook,from 1977. Mild canned California green chiles season this meaty pork stew. Serve it with rice or as a burrito filling. For Burritos, spoon pork into warm, soft flour tortillas, add sour cream, tomato wedges, and a squeeze of lime juice and fold to enclose. We also serve this Chile Verde with Tamales. This chile Verde is also good served with scrambled eggs, Enjoy!

Time 1h

Yield 8 portions

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup unsalted butter
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 gallon chicken stock
2 pounds braised pork butt, shredded
2 cups roasted, seeded and diced green chiles
2 tablespoons Cajun spice
2 tablespoons fresh parsley leaves, minced
1 cup medium-diced tomatoes

Steps:

  • Over medium heat in a medium saucepan, heat the butter until melted. Then reduce the heat to low and slowly whisk in the flour to create a roux. Continue to cook until the butter has been absorbed into the flour and is a smooth consistency.
  • Once the roux has cooked, return the mixture to medium-high heat. Add the stock and allow to simmer, whisking throughout the cooking process. Once simmered and thickened, 8 to 10 minutes, add the pork, chiles, spice and parsley. Allow this to cook for an additional 20 minutes, with reduced heat to medium-low. Finally, add the tomatoes and cook for a final 10 minutes. Taste and adjust spice to preference.

PORK CHILI VERDE (GREEN PORK CHILI)



Pork Chili Verde (Green Pork Chili) image

This chili verde was one of the first recipes I ever learned. It comes out great even if you don't brown the meat, but I think doing so always adds extra flavor so I usually do it.

Time 2h25m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 20

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 pounds boneless pork shoulder, cut into 2-inch pieces
1 yellow onion, diced
2 teaspoons kosher salt, or to taste, divided
2 teaspoons dried oregano
2 teaspoons ground cumin
½ teaspoon ground coriander
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
10 fresh tomatillos
3 jalapeno chile peppers, seeded
1 poblano chile pepper, seeded
6 cloves peeled garlic
½ cup packed cilantro leaves
1 bay leaf
2 ½ cups chicken stock, or as needed
1 ½ pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, quartered
freshly ground black pepper
¼ cup sour cream
pickled red onions (optional)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Heat vegetable oil in a pot over high heat until it's nearly smoking. Add pork shoulder cubes in a single layer. Let sear until brown on one side, 4 to 5 minutes. Mix and turn pieces over and brown on the other side, 4 to 5 minutes. Add onion, 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring until onions turn translucent, about 4 minutes. Add oregano, cumin, coriander, and cayenne. Stir and cook until seasonings get fragrant, about 2 minutes. Reduce heat to low.
  • Remove paper husk from tomatillos and rinse. Cut into quarters. Place in blender with garlic, jalapeno pepper, poblano, cilantro, and chicken broth. Pulse on and off until pieces start to break down. Then blend until mixture has liquefied, about 30 seconds. Stir sauce into the meat mixture. Add 1 teaspoon salt and bay leaf. Increase heat to high and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low to maintain a slow but steady simmer for about 1 hour. Add potatoes, 1/2 teaspoon salt, black pepper. If mixture has reduced to where potatoes are not immersed, add more broth to cover. Simmer until meat and potatoes are tender, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Garnish individual servings with a dollop of sour cream, some pickled red onions (if desired), and cilantro leaves.

Pork slowly stews with jalapenos, onion, green enchilada sauce and spices in this flavor-packed Mexican dish. It's wonderful on its own or stuffed in a warm tortilla with sour cream, grated cheese or olives on the side. -Kimberly Burke, Chico, California

Tips:

  • Use a well-browned pork shoulder. This will give the sauce a rich, flavorful base.
  • Sear the pork in batches if necessary. Don't overcrowd the pan, or the pork won't brown properly.
  • Use a Dutch oven or large pot with a tight-fitting lid. This will help the pork braise evenly.
  • Add enough liquid to cover the pork. This will help keep the pork moist and prevent it from drying out.
  • Simmer the pork for at least 2 hours, or until it is fall-apart tender. The longer you simmer it, the more flavorful it will be.
  • Make the sauce while the pork is braising. This will give the flavors time to develop.
  • Serve the pork with rice, beans, or tortillas. You can also add your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, guacamole, or salsa.

Conclusion:

Braised pork with green chile sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The pork is tender and flavorful, and the sauce is spicy and flavorful. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
