Paleo Pork Chili Verde image

© 2014 Turner Broadcasting System, Inc. All rights reserved. This paleo-friendly chili incorporates lean ground pork, green bell peppers, onions, spinach and tomatillos. The green vegetables provide a healthy dose of vitamin C. Often used in salsas, tomatillos taste like herbed lemons. Charring the bell peppers, onions and tomatillos imparts a wonderful smokiness to the chili.

Categories     Pork

Time 45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 medium onion, halved
1 lb tomatillo, husks removed and halved
1 large green bell pepper, halved, seeded, stemmed and ribs removed
1 teaspoon canola oil
1 lb ground lean pork
6 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1 whole bay leaf
3 cups Baby Spinach
sea salt & freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup diced tomato
2 sprigs fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Heat a grill pan over high heat. Place the onions and tomatillos cut-side down and the bell peppers cut-side up on the grill. Grill the vegetables until charred, about 10 minutes. Place in a blender and puree until smooth. Set aside.
  • Heat the oil in large nonstick Dutch oven set over high heat. Add the pork and cook, stirring, until the meat is no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium, add the garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the vegetable puree, oregano and bay leaf. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes. Stir in the spinach and cook until wilted, about 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper. Garnish with the diced tomatoes and cilantro leaves to serve.
  • Cook's Notes: If you can't find tomatillos, use underripe tomatoes and 1 tablespoon lime juice in their place. Green tomatoes are best, but orange and light green or rock hard ones work.

This recipe was a bit too time-consuming for me. I would recommend using a slow cooker or Instant Pot next time.

This chili verde was a bit too bland for my taste. I would recommend adding more spices next time.
