PORK CHILE VERDE

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 3h30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

4 pounds pork butt or shoulder, trimmed of fat and cut into 2-inch cubes
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Flour for dredging
1/4 cup vegetable oil
3 yellow onions
2 green bell peppers, cut into 1-inch cubes
2 Anaheim or Poblano chiles, cut into 1-inch cubes
2-3 jalapenos, seeds removed, and finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, peeled and finely chopped
1 1/2 pounds tomatillos, roasted, peeled and chopped
1 tablespoon dried oregano
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 tablespoons coriander seeds, crushed and soaked in a scant amount of water
2 bay leaves
1 bunch cilantro leaves, cleaned and chopped
4 cups chicken stock

Steps:

  • Season the pork meat generously with salt and pepper, lightly flour. Heat oil in a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium high heat and brown pork chunks well in small batches, on all sides. Lift pork out of pan and place in a wide soup pot. Discard fat and place the onions and peppers in the same skillet and sweat over moderate heat, stirring occasionally until limp, about 5 minutes. Add all of the chiles and cook an additional 3-4 minutes, then add the garlic and cook 1-2 minutes more.
  • Add the Sauteed vegetables, chopped tomatillos, dried herbs and cilantro to the meat, cover with the chicken stock and bring up to a boil and reduce to a slight simmer. Cook for 2-3 hours uncovered or until the pork is fork tender.
  • Adjust the seasoning to taste with salt and pepper. Serve with red rice for a delightful contrast.

Tips:

  • Use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet or large saucepan for browning the pork. This will help to develop flavor and prevent the meat from sticking.
  • Season the pork shoulder generously with salt and pepper before browning. This will help to enhance the flavor of the meat.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan when browning the pork shoulder. If the pan is too crowded, the meat will not brown evenly.
  • Cook the pork shoulder on low heat for at least 8 hours, or until the meat is fall-apart tender. This will allow the flavors to develop and the meat to become very tender.
  • Serve the pork shoulder with your choice of sides. Some popular sides include rice, beans, tortillas, and vegetables.

Conclusion:

Slow-cooked pork verde is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. The pork is braised in a flavorful sauce made with tomatillos, green chilies, and cilantro, and it is cooked until it is fall-apart tender. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
