Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil, or more as needed, divided
10 tomatillos - husked, stemmed, and halved
3 jalapeno peppers, halved and seeded
5 cloves garlic, crushed
2 ½ cups chicken broth, divided
3 pounds boneless pork shoulder, cut into 1 1/2-inch cubes
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
1 green bell pepper, seeded and chopped
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon coarse salt
½ teaspoon cracked black pepper
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®), select Saute function, and add 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add tomatillos, jalapenos, and crushed garlic to the hot oil. Saute, flipping once or twice, until lightly browned, 6 to 7 minutes. (Remove garlic earlier if it browns sooner.)
Transfer vegetables to the bowl of a food processor and puree with 2 cups chicken broth until smooth.
Clean and dry the inner pot of the Instant Pot®. Select Saute function and heat remaining olive oil. Add pork, onion, bell pepper, oregano, cumin, salt, and pepper. Stir and saute, adding more oil if necessary, until pork is browned on all sides and vegetables are soft, 7 to 8 minutes. Cancel Saute function. Pour in remaining chicken broth and scrape the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon to loosen any browned bits. Stir in reserved tomatillo puree.
Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 25 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 10 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Stir in chopped cilantro.

This is a chili that you'll find in the Mountain West--either Colorado or New Mexico. It has a medium heat and complex taste, thanks to green chiles from Hatch, New Mexico. The dish is a simple stew with a cohesive taste across different textures and flavors, that can be thickened as you like it. Serve with bread, tortillas, rice, or even over a breakfast burrito!

Tips:

Use a variety of peppers in your chile verde to add different flavors and heat levels. Poblano peppers are a good choice for mild heat, while serrano peppers will add more spice.
Roast the peppers before adding them to the Instant Pot. This will help to develop their flavor and give the chile verde a smoky taste.
Use a combination of pork and beef for a richer flavor. You can also use chicken or turkey if you prefer.
Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices. Cumin, chili powder, and oregano are all good choices for chile verde.
Serve chile verde with your favorite toppings, such as shredded cheese, sour cream, and cilantro.

Conclusion:

Chile verde is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover pork or beef.
