GREEN HELL CHILI VERDE WITH WHITE BEANS AND PORK
Another long prep recipe, this hearty and spicy stew is an excellent part of a harvest meal or just perfect for colder days. All of my recipes take a while and produce copious amounts of leftovers, and lend themselves to quick meals later. Green Hell Chili Verde with White Beans and Pork is no exception. Everything from scratch, whenever possible. Adjust the heat by either adding or subtracting fresh jalapeno peppers. Green tomatoes can substitute for tomatillos, or use both if you want. The beans need to be white, but Great Northern beans work really well. Corn flour or wheat flour are important - using cornstarch makes it slimy. Better Than Bouillon makes an excellent Ham Stock concentrate (FYI).

Steps:
- Trim excess fat off of pork chops and cut into cubes or chunks.
- Heat oil in the bottom of your stock pot over medium heat, add pork, salt and black pepper to taste. Cook until pork is browned and cooked through.
- Add tablespoon (or more) concentrated ham stock or four cups prepared ham stock, stir into the pork.
- Stir the mixture, cover the pot, turn down a touch and leave it alone.
- Peel tomatillos, garlic cloves, and yellow onions. Trim the roots off of the green onions and cut them into four inch pieces. Split and seed the jalapeno peppers. Chop the cilantro. Liquify all ingredients in a blender or food processor, adding water as needed. They must be liquified and smooth. Fill a large mixing bowl with the puree as you go. When all of the ingredients are liquified and in the large mixing bowl, whisk in the white pepper, black pepper and cumin. Set it aside.
- Stir the pork, oil, and ham concentrate. When the pork is browned and tender, add liquified ingredients, stir together, bring to a gentle simmer, cover the pot again, and turn heat down to just above "low." Ignore for a minimum of two hours (I generally go for three). This lets the flavors combine and develop and become very fragrant. Stir it if you want to, but I have not found it necessary. In two or three hours, your kitchen should reek and the stew should be bright green, potent, fragrant, and ready for completion.
- After a few hours, mix your favorite cornbread recipe (savory is better than sweet on this one), pop that in the oven (20 minutes or so?) and open the canned beans into a strainer or colander. Drain and rinse beans in cold water and add to the soup pot. Stir the beans into the stew, bring to a gentle simmer once again, and cover.
- Mix corn flour or wheat flour into very cold water until all of the lumps are gone and you have formed a thick-ish slurry. Add to the soup pot, stir constantly until thick.
- Time to eat. Serve with warm cornbread or tortillas or both. Top servings with shredded pepper jack or mexican blend cheese and sour cream, garnish with chopped cilantro. Salt and pepper to taste. Enjoy!
COLORADO GREEN CHILI (CHILE VERDE)
My version of my mother's green chili. I like to serve it over oven-baked burritos or with beans and rice. If you can't find a chile roaster, look for frozen diced chiles at your supermarket. You can also freeze fresh roasted chiles for off-season use.

Steps:
- Heat the olive oil in a Dutch oven or large pot over medium-high heat. Season the pork with salt and pepper to taste, then place into the hot oil. Cook until golden brown on all sides, about 7 minutes. Once browned, remove the pork and set aside. Reduce heat to medium, and stir in the onion and garlic. Cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Return the pork to the pot, and stir in the green chiles, diced tomatoes with juice, tomatillo salsa, and chicken broth. Season with oregano and clove. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer 20 minutes.
- After 20 minutes, remove 2 cups of the soup (ensure there are no pork cubes in it), and pour into a blender. Hold down the lid of the blender with a folded kitchen towel, and carefully start the blender, using a few quick pulses to get the soup moving before leaving it on to puree. Puree until smooth, then pour back into the cooking pot. This will create a thicker texture for your chili and will eliminate some of the chunky bits of chiles. Continue to simmer, stirring occasionally until the pork is very tender, at least 35 minutes more.

PORK CHILI VERDE (GREEN PORK CHILI)
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.

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.

Steps:
- Brown ground pork and strain grease (although when I've been in a hurry, I've skipped this step and put it in the crock pot raw and it didn't ultimately hurt the flavor at all).
- Rinse and strain beans
- Combine all ingredients in crockpot, adding however much water the bag of beans directs (include the chicken broth in this measurement)
- *Note - you can use canned green chiles (if so, use about 3 cans) or fresh Hatch green chiles, when in season!
- Stir ingredients, set crockpot to high, let simmer on high for about 30 minutes.
- Turn crockpot to low, let cook as long as needed, I usually do about 8 hours, although it'd be ready to eat around 6 hours.
SPICY PORK CHILI WITH WHITE BEANS

Tips:
- Use fresh, ripe tomatillos for the best flavor. Tomatillos should be firm and green, with no signs of bruising or damage.
- Roast the tomatillos and poblano peppers before blending them. Roasting brings out their natural sweetness and smoky flavor.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when browning the pork. If you do, the pork will steam instead of brown.
- Use a flavorful broth for the chili. Chicken broth or vegetable broth are both good options.
- Add the beans and corn to the chili in the last 30 minutes of cooking. This will prevent them from becoming overcooked.
- Serve the chili with your favorite toppings. Shredded cheese, sour cream, avocado, and cilantro are all popular choices.

This green hell chili verde with white beans and pork is a delicious and hearty meal that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a great way to use up leftover pork.
