EASY CHILI VERDE

I love chili verde. I order it whenever I can at restaurants, and figured out how to make an easy, tasty version at home. People have the option to eat the chili verde with a fork or in tortillas with a variety of toppings such as cheese, cilantro, minced onions or lime wedges. There are never leftovers at my house. -Julie Rowland, Salt Lake City, Utah

AWESOMELY EASY CHILE VERDE



Awesomely Easy Chile Verde image

I love Chile Verde recipes and a good friend of mine used to make a variation of this recipe in college. I tried to doctor it up and give it a better taste profile and think I accomplished it. I made this for my boyfriend and I, four days ago and we've been eating it slowly, as it's so delicious we don't want it to be over! Hope you enjoy it as much as we have been :)

1 medium yellow onion
1 celery rib
16 ounces herdez salsa verde
8 ounces of la victoria diced green chilies
8 ounces el pato hot sauce
1 lime
1 teaspoon cumin
celery salt

Steps:

  • Cut your pork roast into bite-sized cubes while your oil is heating in a large saute pan.
  • While the pork is browning, dice your celery and onion.
  • Once the pork is browned, add in the onion and celery.
  • After your onion, celery and pork have cooked down a bit, add in the salsa verde, diced green chiles and El Pato (I use the jalapeno version for this recipe. It's the one that comes in the green can). Add as much of this as you'd like,but take heed that it's warmer than the other salsas.
  • Stir together and let simmer.
  • Juice the lime into the mix, season with the celery salt, add the cumin and mix.
  • I love to serve this with sour cream, diced cilantro and shaved cabbage (red or green works great). It also goes well with these tortillas:http://www.recipezaar.com/65491.

CHILE VERDE (LA FRONTERA-STYLE)



Chile Verde (La Frontera-Style) image

Because you can never have enough chile verde recipes , today we're running Marcus Grymme's recipe for DeeAnn Haroldsen and Bethany Layton and all you other La Puente and La Frontera lovers out there. Grymme used to live in Utah and has spent years sampling chile verdes in other parts of the country and Mexico in an attempt to duplicate the Utah dish until he decided to make his own. After numerous experimental batches, the key, Grymme says, is to use "tomatoes and tomatillos." Grymme thinks this recipe comes pretty close.

CHILE VERDE



Chile Verde image

Found this recipe on the back of the La Victoria jar and it's good. I change my recipe in that my pork is cooked first and instead of cubing it - it is more shreaded. When I make pork butt - this is what I do with my left overs - I make this chile verde recipe!

Provided by Noel Perry

Categories     Salsas

Time 2h

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 lb pork shoulder butt - cubed
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
3 Tbsp vegetable oil
1 Tbsp butter
1 large onion minced or diced (or 1/2 cup dried onion flakes)
4 clove garlic - minced
1 jar(s) la victoria salsa verde (16 oz)
1/2 c water or chicken broth (preferred) or mexican beer

Steps:

  • 1. Cut pork into 1/2-inch cubes; season cubes with salt and pepper. NOTE: I changed my recipe in that my pork is cooked first and instead of cubing it - it is more shreaded. When I make pork butt - this is what I do with my left overs
  • 2. In a large, heavy pan with lid, brown the cubes well in oil and melted butter. If your pork is already cooked - just add it here and skip to step 3
  • 3. Add the onion and garlic and sauté for about 5 minutes, then drain the fat from the pan.
  • 4. Add the remaining ingredients, cover, and simmer for at least 90 minutes, stirring frequently; add more water (or broth or beer) during cooking if necessary to achieve desired sauce texture.

EASY CHILI VERDE



Easy Chili Verde image

My DH taught me to make this, over time, I've changed it slightly. But really it's such a simple flavorful dish, it doesn't need much tweaking. This probably makes enough for at least 10 burritos. Another thing about this recipe is, it reminds me of a green chili stew they used to serve at a place in Dallas called Panchos. It was a mexican buffet, and most of their food I didn't care for, but I loved that stew. If you add potatoes to this recipe the result it pretty close to that stew. But, mostly we just make this version, to use for green chili burros.

Categories     Meat

Time 31m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 lbs lean pork loin roast or 2 lbs any other lean pork roast
4 (6 ounce) cans diced green chilies, do not drain
2 (14 ounce) cans diced tomatoes, do not drain
1 medium onion, diced
1 (6 ounce) can diced jalapenos, do not drain (optional)
1 (14 ounce) can refried beans, heated
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, Sharp, mild, jack, your preference
cilantro leaf (optional)
flour tortilla
ground cumin
chili powder
salt

Steps:

  • Cut pork in 1/2 inch cubes and braise in preheated dutch oven. (no need to add oil). (if you are using onion add at this point and cook til translucent). Salt. And generous amounts of ground cumin, and a dash or two of chili powder Add all canned items - do not drain. Bring to a slow boil, then simmer, covered at least 1 hour (til pork is tender).
  • To serve:.
  • Make burritos.
  • Good with refried rice, guacamole etc. Can be covered with queso, or verde sauce if desired. I usually cover mine with salsa, depending on what type we have on hand.
  • PS: Best make one burrito and serve, then make one for the next person. If you make a platter full of burritos, they are apt to get soggy. Or you can put all ingredients on the table, and let everyone make their own.

Tips:

  • To make the best chile verde, use fresh, ripe tomatoes and tomatillos. To roast the tomatoes, place them on a baking sheet and roast them in a preheated oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 15-20 minutes, or until the skins are blistered and charred.
  • If you don't have time to roast the tomatoes, you can use canned diced tomatoes. However, roasting the tomatoes will give the chile verde a richer, more flavorful flavor.
  • When choosing pork for the chile verde, look for a pork shoulder or butt roast. These cuts of meat are tough and flavorful, and they will hold up well to the long cooking time.
  • If you want a spicier chile verde, add more green chiles. You can also add a teaspoon of cayenne pepper or chipotle powder to the sauce.
  • Serve the chile verde with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, guacamole, salsa, and shredded cheese.

Conclusion:

La Victoria 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 own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a hearty and satisfying meal, give La Victoria Chile Verde a try. You won't be disappointed!
