When I told my daughter that I had joined "Just A Pinch", she told me that I really needed to submit my Chili Verde recipe, which I obtained (through much persuasion) from a small Mexican restaurant in my home town.

Steps:
- 1. Cut aneheim chilis into 2-inch pieces; cut jalepenos into thin slices. Put into large pot; cover with water. Bring to a boil. Add cumin seed (about 1 teaspoon). Turn down to a simmer; let simmer for about 1/2 hour - to take "green taste" out of chilis.
- 2. Meanwhile, chop onion and garlic. Cut pork into bite-sized pieces - do not remove the fat; it really adds to the flavor!
- 3. Brown pork in batches in oil or lard in skillet. In last batch, add onion and garlic, to lightly brown. Do not drain off the grease - I didn't say this was particularly healthy - just good!
- 4. Remove peppers from water with slotted spoon; try to include as much cumin seed as possible. Save cooking water.
- 5. Process peppers in a blender until liquified; add a bit of cooking water if needed to thin sauce - although do keep in mind that the sauce will thin while cooking with pork.
- 6. Put browned pork back in skillet (or large pot) along with the garlic and onions. Stir in the chili sauce. Bring to a boil; then turn down to a slow simmer. Cook at a slow simmer (barely breaking bubbles) for 2 to 3 hours, or until tender.
- 7. If desired, serve with flour tortillas, Mexican rice and refried beans. Makes great chili verde burritos!
