Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

1/2 cup canola oil, divided
2 fresh jalapeno peppers, stems removed
1 pound ground pork
1 tablespoon butter
1 medium white onion, diced
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon sweet paprika
1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 (28-ounce) can green enchilada sauce
1 (7-ounce) can green salsa
1 quart water
1/2 bunch fresh cilantro, leaves chopped
1/2 lime, juiced
2 tablespoons cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water, for slurry, if needed
Cooked rice, for serving

Steps:

  • In a 4 quart pot, heat 1/4 cup of the canola oil over medium heat. Add the jalapenos and saute for 1 minute. Stir in the ground pork and cook until evenly brown. Remove the pork and jalapenos from the pot to a bowl and set aside. In the same pot used to cook the meat, add the remaining 1/4 cup of the canola oil, butter, and onion. Cook for 2 minutes or until the onion starts to soften. Stir in the salt, cumin, paprika, cayenne, and black pepper and cook until the onion is soft. Mix in the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Reduce the heat to low. Sprinkle the flour over the onion and garlic and cook, stirring, for 3 minutes. Slowly pour the enchilada sauce into the onion mixture, whisking constantly to prevent lumps from forming. Mix in the green salsa and water. Return the cooked pork and jalapenos to the pot. Increase the heat to medium and slowly bring the chili to a boil. When the chili boils, reduce the heat and simmer for 30 minutes. Before serving remove from heat and stir in the chopped cilantro and lime juice. The consistency should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, if not simmer longer or thicken with a little cornstarch slurry.
  • Serve with cooked rice.

I'm not a big fan of green chiles, but this chili was still delicious. The flavors were well-balanced and the pork was cooked perfectly.

This chili is a great way to use up leftover pork. I always have some leftover pork after a holiday meal, and this is the perfect way to use it up.

I love that this recipe uses tomatillos instead of tomatoes. It gives the chili a unique flavor that I really enjoy.

This recipe is a great starting point, but I made a few changes to suit my taste. I added some corn and black beans, and I used a different type of green chile. The chili turned out great!

I'm not a fan of pork, so I used ground beef instead. The chili was still delicious, but I think it would have been even better with pork.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I added some extra spices and it turned out much better.

This chili was a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved it. I'll definitely be making it again, but I'll use less green chiles next time.

I was a bit hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of green chiles, but I'm so glad I did! The chili was delicious and the green chiles added a nice subtle heat.

This chili was easy to make and so delicious. I used ground turkey instead of pork and it turned out great. I will definitely be making this again.

I love the unique flavor of this green pork chili. The tomatillos and green chiles give it a nice tangy flavor that's perfect for a cold winter day.
