CHILI VERDE - RECIPE



Chili Verde - Recipe image

This chili verde recipe is made with tender pork shoulder that has been seasoned and seared, then cooked low and slow in a rich verde sauce made from roasted tomatillos, poblanos and jalapeno peppers.

Provided by Mike Hultquist

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.

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.

Provided by Chef John

Categories     Soups, Stews and Chili Recipes     Chili Recipes     Pork Chili Recipes

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.

HATCH CHILE VERDE



Hatch Chile Verde image

Hubby and I are Hatch chile fanatics. We buy 50 pounds of roasted Hatch chiles when they are in season. We portion them out and freeze them so they are readily available. This chile verde does not call for tomatillos because I wanted the chiles to be the star of the recipe.

Categories     Soups, Stews and Chili Recipes     Chili Recipes     Pork Chili Recipes

Time 2h50m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

8 each Hatch chile peppers, or more as needed
2 pounds pork butt, cut into 1-inch chunks
½ cup water
½ teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon oil, or as needed

  • Combine pork cubes, water, and salt in a Dutch oven. Cover and cook over medium heat for 20 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes. Uncover, raise heat to medium-high, and cook, stirring constantly until the water evaporates and the pork browns in its rendered fat, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove pork and set aside.
  • Heat oil in the Dutch oven. Add onion; cook and stir until soft and translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Add garlic and cumin and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in flour and cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Add chiles, pork, chicken broth, canned tomatoes, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until pork cubes are fork-tender, about 1 1/2 hours.
