PORK CHILE VERDE WITH RED CHILE SALSA
Home turf: New Mexico Local flavor: Southwestern-style chili is all about the chiles (with an "e"), as in this pillar of regional cooking, chile verde. The chiles are green and mild (New Mexico's famous hatch chiles are perfect), and the meat is pork. Tangy tomatillos balance the chiles and coat the slow-cooked pork. To up the regional cred, serve it "Christmas" style-with a combo of green and red chiles. Make it a meal: Serve with warm corn tortillas, avocado and spinach salad with honey-lime vinaigrette, and a dark beer like Negra Modelo (Mexico, $8 per six-pack). If you can find it, use dried Mexican oregano in this recipe. It has a smoky flavor that dried Mediterranean oregano doesn't have. Look for it at Latin markets.

Steps:
- Pre-heat oven to 500 degrees. In a small bowl mix the salt, chili powder, oregano, granulated garlic, and cumin. Coat the pork on all sides with the rub, massaging the spices into the meat. Let the pork sit at room temperature for 20 to 30 before browning.
- In a food processor or blender, purée the tomatillos, canned chiles, garlic, onion, oregano, and beer.
- Brown the roast on a roasting pan for 30 minutes in the oven.
- Remove the pork from the oven and reduce temperature to 250 degrees. Place the pork in a 13x9-inch heavy-duty disposable drip pan. Pour the tomatillo mixture around the pork so it comes up the sides of the pork by 1 inch or so. Seal the pan tightly with foil, and place the pan in the center of the oven. Cook the pork until the internal temperature of the meat reaches 190°F and the meat is so tender that it tears easily with a fork, 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 hours.
- When the pork is fully cooked, carefully remove the pan from the oven. Unwrap the pork (be careful of the steam) and transfer it to a cutting board. Chop the pork into 1/2-inch chunks and shreds, discarding any large pieces of fat or tough pieces of meat. Pour the pan liquid into a large saucepan and spoon off most of the surface fat. Add the shredded meat and simmer the mixture uncovered for a few minutes to blend the flavors. Season with the cilantro, Tabasco, as well as salt and pepper to taste. The chile verde may be made up to this point 1 day ahead of serving and refrigerated overnight. Warm the chile verde over a slow simmer before serving.
- Serve the chile verde warm in bowls with steamed rice. Pass the sour cream, limes wedges, and a bottle of Tabasco.

BRAISED PORK WITH GREEN CHILE SAUCE OF CHILE VERDE
My DD makes this chile verde whenever we get together for Mexican dinners. It is a family favorite. The recipe is from a Sunset Mexican Cookbook,from 1977.

Stir flour into the onion, garlic and fat until flour absorbs the oil or fat. Add broth. Cook and stir until mixture comes to boil and is slightly thickened. Add cubed meat, drained tomatoes, chopped tomatillos, all of the green chilies and jalapeños. Add the spices a little at a time until you get the taste you like, bringing to a simmer before each addition. Simmer for at least 1 hour, stirring occasionally to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan. If you want more of a stew type chili, add cubed potatoes 20 minutes before serving; serve with warm tortillas. Serve over burritos and garnish with cheese, lettuce, tomatoes and sour cream.
CHILE VERDE (BEEF OR PORK)
One of my favorite dishes. Serve with Recipe #17126 and refried beans. My husband commented that this recipe isn't as "green" as some he gets in a Mexican restaurant. If you want more green, use tomatillos. I just happen to like this just the way it is!

PORK CHILE VERDE
This is not a traditional Chile Verde, but it is very easy.This recipe was inspired by one I found on the back of can of enchilada sauce. In my hometown, chile verde was usually made with pork, not beef, so that's what I use. I've used cubed pork shoulder roast instead of the tenderloin, and couldn't tell the difference. You can substitute a 4oz can of diced green chiles for the mild Anaheim pepper. Or if you like things a bit hotter, use a spicier pepper.

I love to make different varieties of chili and I typically do it the long and hard way.

TEQUILA PORK CHILE VERDE
This recipe appeared in the October 2007 issue of Cooking Light. I haven't tried it yet -- but hope to real soon. (Fresh tomatillos come in papery husks, which peel off easily to reveal what looks like small green tomatoes. They have a tart lemony flavor and must be cooked before eating. A brief stewing will mellow the flavor but leave some of the characteristic tang.)

CHILE VERDE SAUCE WITH PORK/ CHILE VERDE CON CERDO
Chile Verde Sauce with Pork, is cooked with the pork simmered in the sauce for a few hours until tender. On some occasions I use thick pork chops I brown the chops and then cook them in the chile verde sauce for a few hours. The secret are the plump tomatillos, poblanos, onions, jalapenos, all pre roasted for that delicous...

Steps:
- 1. Start by cutting your pork loin into 1/2 inch bite sized pieces. Nest season the pork meat with salt, pepper, cumin powder, oregano, garlic powder, and the oil. Put into a large freezer bag squeeze out as much air as possible and seal. Then mush bag real well making sure to mix the meat real good with the seasonings. Put into the fridge overnight for the best flavor. If you are pressed for time leave like this for at least two hours.
- 2. Next day remove papery husk from your tomatillos rinse under cool water removing the outer residue, cut them in half. Slice the onion in quarters, leave your poblanos whole just rinse first. Slice your jalapenos in half lengthwise remove seeds and membranes. Peel the garlic cloves. Next rub a little oil on a large cookie sheet or large baking pan put tomatillos cut side down place the onions alongside on the sheet pan. Place both the poblanos on the sheet and the cloves of garlic. Place the jalapenos cut side down as well. Place pan under the broiler and char everthing lightly about 5 minutes. When the tomatillos, and the onions start to brown lightly turn the onions only. You can remove the tomatillos as soon as the turn a little brown you do not want the tomatillos to turn real black, just a light char do the same with the garlic brown evenly on all sides do the same with the onion. Turn your jalapenos over so the inside will brown a little too. You will remove all the veggies except the poblanos as soon as the veggies turn a little brown. Keep turning the poblanos until they char black on all sides. Remove them when all charred and place in a freezer bag and seal for about 15 minutes. After 15 minutes have passed remove poblano peppers one at a time and rub so thet the charred skin comes off. Do both poblanos this way. Then remove the core and the seeds. Next place all the roasted veggies in the blender and blend along with a the fresh cilantro, and a little more salt, pepper, garlic powder, cumin powder, and the sugar. Start the blender on pulse to get started then go to blend making sure all the ingredients get well blended. You might have to do this in a few batches until all your veggies are well blended. Now set this all aside and go back to your pork meat.
- 3. Take out the pork from the refrigerator. In a deep heavy pot add 1/2 cup oil and heat until hot start to sear your pork meat in batches make sure your sear on all sides then remove to a different pan as you finish searing the rest of the meat. When done add a little more oil wait until it heats up and add your blended veggies to the hot pan, stir real good cook for about two minutes and add the chicken broth and mix real well. Taste the sauce to see if you have it seasoned well enough. Next add the meat back into the pot; cover lower the heat to slow simmer and cook for two hours.
- 4. After the meat has cooked for two hours take 1/4 cup cool water and add four or five tablespoons of corn starch. Make a slurry mixing well the corn starch in the water until all is disolved. Mix the slurry into the hot broth, Keep stirring until the broth has thickend and cooked for about 5 or 6 minutes. Remove from heat and serve along side my Mexican rice and refried beans. Recipes are posted. Don't forget to serve the warm tortillas with this recipe. My kids love to put a a few spoonfuls of chile verde pork meat with rice in a tortilla and roll it up and eat as a taco. either way they are delicious. To make the chile verde sauce hotter just add more jalapenos. In the recipe I only show one jalapeno some people do not like to much heat in their chile verde sauce. If you are using beef cubes sear add the sauce and slow cook for three hours. If using chicken brown chicken add the sauce and cook for about one hour and 15 minutes. Enjoy

Tips:
- Use a heavy pot or Dutch oven to cook the pork. This will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the pork from sticking.
- Brown the pork in batches if necessary. Don't overcrowd the pot, or the pork will steam instead of brown.
- Use a variety of chiles to create a complex flavor. A combination of mild, medium, and hot chiles will give the pork chile verde a well-rounded flavor.
- Don't be afraid to adjust the amount of chiles to your own taste. If you like it hot, add more chiles. If you prefer a milder flavor, use fewer chiles.
- Serve the pork chile verde with your favorite sides, such as rice, beans, or tortillas.
Conclusion:
Pork chile verde is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. So next time you're looking for a flavorful and satisfying meal, give pork chile verde a try.
