**Traditional Pork Chili Verde:**

Categories     Main Course

Time 2h45m

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 pounds tomatillos (husked and rinsed)
2 poblano peppers (stemmed and sliced in half lengthwise)
3-4 jalapeno peppers (stemmed and sliced in half lengthwise)
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 pound boneless pork shoulder (cubed (do bite sized cubes))
2 tablespoon ancho chili powder (optional)
1 teaspoon cumin (optional)
Salt and pepper to taste
1 large onion (chopped (white or yellow))
4 cloves garlic (chopped)
1 tablespoon Mexican oregano
½ - 1 cup chicken stock
½ cup chopped cilantro
Juice from 1 large lime
Extra limes (sliced jalapeno peppers, fresh chopped cilantro, crumbly white cheese, spicy chili flakes)

Steps:

  • Make your verde sauce first. Preheat your oven to broil.
  • Slice the peeled and rinsed tomatillos in half through the horizontal center (not up and down) and arrange on a lightly oiled baking dish with the skin sides up.
  • Place the peppers on a separate lightly oiled baking sheet skin sides up.
  • Bake the peppers and tomatillos about 12-15 minutes until skin side is blistering on both the tomatillos and peppers. Rotate the baking sheets if needed. You may need up to 20 minutes, depending on your proximity to the heat element.
  • Remove from heat and cool slightly. Peel off the pepper skins and discard them. You can peel off the tomatillos skins if you'd like, but I leave them on.
  • Add the tomatillos and peppers to a food processor. Process until smooth. Set aside for now.

CHILI VERDE

This is a 'brown sauce' that I have had over chimichangas in Mexican restaurants, and is one of my favorites. When I found I could make it at home, it has become a regular. May be served as soup or over chimis. Top with sour cream and shredded cheese. Enjoy.

EASY GREEN CHILIE ( CHILE VERDE) OAMC



Easy Green Chilie ( Chile Verde) OAMC image

I love, love, love green chilies! This is my simple and GREAT tasting green chilie. I use ingredients that most everyone should be able to find in their hometown grocery stores. You can use this in so many different dishes. I like to eat is as just a soup on cold days. I also freeze any left overs to use in any Mexican dish that calls for salsa. Great over pork or chicken enchiladas, chimichangas, or you can melt with cheese to make a great dip. I do not use any oil in this recipe and you never even miss it.
