Time 2h30m

Number Of Ingredients 17

6 large tomatillos, husk removed, rinsed and cut in halves, lightly chared
2 large poblano peppers, seeded & lightly chared under the broiler on all sides
1 large sweet onion cut in half, peeled and lightly chared
1 large jalapeno seeded, cut lenghtwise in half and lightly chared, for heat leave seeds in
4 large cloves of garlic lightly chared
1/4 c diced fresh cilantro
2 1/2 lb pork loin, cut into bite sized 1/2 inch pieces
2 1/2 c pork broth if you have it or chicken broth
1/2 tsp dried mexican oregano
1/2 tsp powdered cumin
1 tsp sea salt
1/4 tsp fresh ground black pepper
1 tsp garlic powder
1/3 c olive oil
1/4 tsp sugar
1/4 c water
1/2 tsp extra seasonings salt, pepper, cumin, orgeano, garli powder

Steps:

  • 1. Start by cutting your pork loin into 1/2 inch bite sized pieces. Nest season the pork meat with salt, pepper, cumin powder, oregano, garlic powder, and the oil. Put into a large freezer bag squeeze out as much air as possible and seal. Then mush bag real well making sure to mix the meat real good with the seasonings. Put into the fridge overnight for the best flavor. If you are pressed for time leave like this for at least two hours.
  • 2. Next day remove papery husk from your tomatillos rinse under cool water removing the outer residue, cut them in half. Slice the onion in quarters, leave your poblanos whole just rinse first. Slice your jalapenos in half lengthwise remove seeds and membranes. Peel the garlic cloves. Next rub a little oil on a large cookie sheet or large baking pan put tomatillos cut side down place the onions alongside on the sheet pan. Place both the poblanos on the sheet and the cloves of garlic. Place the jalapenos cut side down as well. Place pan under the broiler and char everthing lightly about 5 minutes. When the tomatillos, and the onions start to brown lightly turn the onions only. You can remove the tomatillos as soon as the turn a little brown you do not want the tomatillos to turn real black, just a light char do the same with the garlic brown evenly on all sides do the same with the onion. Turn your jalapenos over so the inside will brown a little too. You will remove all the veggies except the poblanos as soon as the veggies turn a little brown. Keep turning the poblanos until they char black on all sides. Remove them when all charred and place in a freezer bag and seal for about 15 minutes. After 15 minutes have passed remove poblano peppers one at a time and rub so thet the charred skin comes off. Do both poblanos this way. Then remove the core and the seeds. Next place all the roasted veggies in the blender and blend along with a the fresh cilantro, and a little more salt, pepper, garlic powder, cumin powder, and the sugar. Start the blender on pulse to get started then go to blend making sure all the ingredients get well blended. You might have to do this in a few batches until all your veggies are well blended. Now set this all aside and go back to your pork meat.
  • 3. Take out the pork from the refrigerator. In a deep heavy pot add 1/2 cup oil and heat until hot start to sear your pork meat in batches make sure your sear on all sides then remove to a different pan as you finish searing the rest of the meat. When done add a little more oil wait until it heats up and add your blended veggies to the hot pan, stir real good cook for about two minutes and add the chicken broth and mix real well. Taste the sauce to see if you have it seasoned well enough. Next add the meat back into the pot; cover lower the heat to slow simmer and cook for two hours.
  • 4. After the meat has cooked for two hours take 1/4 cup cool water and add four or five tablespoons of corn starch. Make a slurry mixing well the corn starch in the water until all is disolved. Mix the slurry into the hot broth, Keep stirring until the broth has thickend and cooked for about 5 or 6 minutes. Remove from heat and serve along side my Mexican rice and refried beans. Recipes are posted. Don't forget to serve the warm tortillas with this recipe. My kids love to put a a few spoonfuls of chile verde pork meat with rice in a tortilla and roll it up and eat as a taco. either way they are delicious. To make the chile verde sauce hotter just add more jalapenos. In the recipe I only show one jalapeno some people do not like to much heat in their chile verde sauce. If you are using beef cubes sear add the sauce and slow cook for three hours. If using chicken brown chicken add the sauce and cook for about one hour and 15 minutes. Enjoy

CHILE VERDE CON CERDO (GREEN CHILI WITH PORK)



Chile Verde Con Cerdo (Green Chili With Pork) image

I have been working on this recipe for a number of years now and it does tend to change now and then. I promise you that any changes I make to it only makes it better. Try it over bean and beef or breakfast burritos, chimichangas or just eat it as a stew with warm tortillas. I make a huge pot of this so I can freeze some for later. Can be transfered to the crock pot for all day simmering on low. Adjust chilies, jalapeños and spices, tasting as you cook. I have never measured before when making this so please let me know if something doesn't work. Take liberties with this recipe to suit your own tastes. I won't mind in the least. It is what I would do if this recipe was posted by you. Pork can be left out for our vegetarian friends. 2/21/13..I am raising 3 young grandsons (1-5) now and find time to be a premium commodity. Being a purist is not affordable at the moment. Try a large can of green enchilada sauce instead of tomatillos if you find yourself short of time and energy.

Time 9h

Yield 15 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 -3 lbs pork roast (pre-diced pork works well for a faster preparation. Just brown with onions)
2 tablespoons lard or 2 tablespoons bacon grease
1 large chopped onion (not traditional) (optional)
1 head minced garlic (taste great, but also helps prevent heart burn)
6 tablespoons flour
1 (15 ounce) can tomatoes, drained
2 cups diced green chilies (I use Big Jims, roasted, peeled and frozen by the bushel every fall)
2 cups diced tomatillos (or substitute with your favorite salsa verde)
2 -4 teaspoons jalapenos (optional)
5 cups water (broth is not traditional, but I like the flavor better) or 5 cups chicken broth (broth is not traditional, but I like the flavor better)
1 tablespoon ground chili powder (or to taste) (optional)
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons cumin (to taste)
2 teaspoons oregano

Steps:

  • Simmer roast in a large pan until meat is tender and removes from the bone easily. (You can also use diced pork, or pork cube steaks (cut to bite size pieces), browned in the pot with the onion and garlic before adding the rest of the ingredients).
  • Cool meat enough to handle.
  • Cube cooked pork into bite size pieces.
  • Process 1/2 of the green chilies and tomatillos until smooth.
  • In the same large pan, melt the lard or bacon grease (or heat oil).
  • Add onions and garlic; sauté until tender but not brown.
  • Stir flour into the onion, garlic and fat until flour absorbs the oil or fat.
  • Add broth or water.
  • Cook and stir until mixture comes to boil and is slightly thickened.
  • Add cubed meat, drained tomatoes (if desired), chopped tomatillos, chopped green chilies, processed tomatillos and chilies, and jalapeños (if desired; I recommend tasting first).
  • Add the spices a little at a time until you get the taste you like, bringing to a simmer before each addition.
  • Simmer for at least 1 hour (longer if you can afford the time), stirring occasionally to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
  • If you want more of a stew type chili, add cubed potatoes 20 minutes before serving; serve with warm tortillas.
  • Serve over burritos and garnish with cheese, lettuce, tomatoes and sour cream.
  • Leave pork out for a vegetarian green chili sauce.

Tips:

  • To make the chile verde sauce, you can use fresh or canned tomatillos. If using fresh tomatillos, remove the husks and rinse them well. Cut them in half and remove the seeds.
  • If you don't have a blender, you can use a food processor to make the chile verde sauce. Just be sure to pulse the ingredients until they are smooth.
  • You can adjust the amount of chile peppers in the sauce to your desired spice level. If you like a milder sauce, use fewer peppers. If you like a spicier sauce, use more peppers.
  • The pork shoulder can be cooked in a slow cooker or in the oven. If you are using a slow cooker, cook the pork on low for 8-10 hours or on high for 4-6 hours.
  • If you are cooking the pork in the oven, braise it in a covered Dutch oven at 300 degrees Fahrenheit for 2-3 hours, or until the pork is tender.
  • Serve the chile verde with rice, beans, tortillas, or your favorite sides.

Conclusion:

Chile verde is a delicious and flavorful dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your desired spice level. So next time you're looking for a new recipe to try, I encourage you to give chile verde a try. You won't be disappointed!
