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.

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.

TOP SECRET AWARD-WINNING CHILI VERDE



Top Secret Award-Winning Chili Verde image

This recipe was developed by Chef Rachel Bradley. I originally found it on the Castro Valley Patch website. I was looking for anuthentic chili verde recipe for my mom and stumbled across this one. Man am I glad that I did! It is AMAZING. Im not going to lie, its a lot of work but it was SO worth it! Be prepared to be cooking most of the day but please dont let that scare you off! The recipe is VERY simple, just a huge labor of LOVE! Note on PREP TIME and COOKING TIME: I have made this once and it took me 7 hours from the very beginning to putting it on the table. I also have 2 children that I was concentrating on so I set the prep time at 3 hours. Depending on how you roast the peppers and tomatillos and what size pot you use to brown the pork that time will very.

Categories     Pork

Time 5h

Yield 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

4 lbs boneless pork shoulder, trimmed and cut into 1 inch cubes
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 large yellow onions, fire roasted and chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon sea salt
black pepper, freshly ground, to taste
1 tablespoon cumin, ground
10 poblano peppers, fire roasted, peeled, seeded, and chopped
6 jalapenos, fire roasted, peeled, seeded, and chopped
3 yellow bell peppers, fire roasted, seeded, peeled, and chopped
6 anaheim chilies, fire roasted, seeded, peeled, and chopped
2 quarts chicken stock
3 lbs tomatillos, husks removed, fire roasted
2 bunches cilantro, stems discarded, leaves chopped
3 large limes, juiced
1/2 lb smoked bacon, diced

Steps:

  • Fire-roast the peppers and tomatillos. You can do this on the grill, over a gas burner, or under your broiler turned on high. The goal is to char the skin of the vegetable. ROASTING THE PEPPERS AND TOMATILLOS ADDS TONS OF FLAVOR TO THEM! IT IS WORK BUT DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP!
  • Place the charred vegetables in a large heat proof bowl or pan and cover with foil. The steam from the vegetables will help the charred skin come off easily. Let sit covered 15-20 minutes and then the charred skin will easily peel off the peppers and tomatillos.
  • In a large (6 to 8 quart) stock pot, over high heat, brown the bacon reserving the bacon drippings.
  • Next, trim off any excess fat from the pork and cut into 1 inch squares. Liberally season the pork with salt and pepper and toss with flour to coat evenly.
  • DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP! THIS IS WHAT ADDS THE MOST FLAVOR TO THE CHILI VERDE! Brown the seasoned pork in small batches, in the bacon drippings, being careful not to overcrowd the pot. Remove the pork from the pot and pour off the fat drippings, leaving two tablespoons of fat. Caramelizing the meat to a rich golden-brown is a key flavor step!
  • In the same pot, over a medium heat, add the chopped onion, garlic, salt, and pepper and sauté until transparent, scraping up any browned bits. Add the cumin, pork, and chicken stock, and cook simmering over medium-low heat for 1 hour.
  • Place half of the peppers, one bunch of cilantro, and half of the tomatillos in to a blender or the bowl of a food processor and pulse for a chunky puree. Add the puree to the pot with the pork and stir to combine, cooking on medium-low for an additional 30 minutes.
  • Roughly chop the remaining tomatillos, peppers, and cilantro. Add them to the pot, stir, and simmer for an additional 30 minutes, for a total cooking time of two hours.
  • Add the lime juice and adjust seasoning to taste with salt and pepper.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, ripe tomatillos for the best flavor. If you can't find fresh tomatillos, you can use canned tomatillos, but be sure to rinse them well before using.
  • To make the chili verde ahead of time, cook it according to the recipe and then let it cool completely. Store the chili verde in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
  • When you're ready to serve the chili verde, reheat it over medium heat until it's warmed through. You can also add some additional toppings, such as sour cream, avocado, or cilantro.
  • Chili verde is a great dish to serve with rice, beans, or tortillas.

Conclusion:

Jeanne's Chili Verde is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of pork, tomatillos, and chiles creates a flavorful and satisfying stew that is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dinner recipe, give Jeanne's Chili Verde a try.
