COLORADO GREEN CHILI (CHILE VERDE)



Colorado Green Chili (Chile Verde) image

My version of my mother's green chili. I like to serve it over oven-baked burritos or with beans and rice. If you can't find a chile roaster, look for frozen diced chiles at your supermarket. You can also freeze fresh roasted chiles for off-season use.

Time 1h35m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 ½ pounds cubed pork stew meat
salt and pepper to taste
1 large yellow onion, diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups chopped, roasted green chiles
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes with juice
1 ½ cups tomatillo salsa
5 cups chicken broth
½ teaspoon dried oregano
1 pinch ground cloves

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a Dutch oven or large pot over medium-high heat. Season the pork with salt and pepper to taste, then place into the hot oil. Cook until golden brown on all sides, about 7 minutes. Once browned, remove the pork and set aside. Reduce heat to medium, and stir in the onion and garlic. Cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes.
  • Return the pork to the pot, and stir in the green chiles, diced tomatoes with juice, tomatillo salsa, and chicken broth. Season with oregano and clove. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer 20 minutes.
  • After 20 minutes, remove 2 cups of the soup (ensure there are no pork cubes in it), and pour into a blender. Hold down the lid of the blender with a folded kitchen towel, and carefully start the blender, using a few quick pulses to get the soup moving before leaving it on to puree. Puree until smooth, then pour back into the cooking pot. This will create a thicker texture for your chili and will eliminate some of the chunky bits of chiles. Continue to simmer, stirring occasionally until the pork is very tender, at least 35 minutes more.

Chile Verde (Green Chili With Pork) Recipe - (4/5) image

Provided by mkuchel

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 to 3 pound pork roast (pre-diced pork works well for a faster preparation. Just brown with onions)
2 tablespoons cooking oil or 2 tablespoons lard or 2 tablespoons bacon grease
1 large chopped onion
1 head minced garlic
6 tablespoons flour
1 (15-ounce) can tomatoes, drained
2 cups diced green chilies
3 large tomatillos, husks removed and coarsely chopped
2 to 4 teaspoons jalapeños, chopped
5 cups chicken broth
2 tablespoons ground cumin, or to taste
2 tablespoons ground chili powder
1 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Simmer roast in a large pan until meat is tender and removes from the bone easily. (You can also use diced pork, or pork cube steaks (cut to bite size pieces), browned in the pot with the onion and garlic before adding the rest of the ingredients). Cool meat enough to handle. Cube cooked pork into bite size pieces. Process 1/2 of the green chilies until smooth. In the same large pan, heat oil. Add onions and garlic; sauté until tender but not brown. 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.

CHILI VERDE (GREEN CHILE)



Chili Verde (Green Chile) image

This recipe is from La Bola Restaurant, Denver, CO. It is published in the Colorado Cache Cookbook from 1981. Don't eat dry burritos! This "gravy" is wonderful to smother burritos, rellenos, or just dip tortillas or chips into. I have been making this recipe since 1981.

Categories     Gravies

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 1/2 lb pork roast (fresh shoulder preferred)
1 lb pork soup bones
44 oz canned tomatoes (28 oz-can and 16 oz-cans)
23 oz tomato sauce (15-oz and 8-oz cans)
1 Tbsp garlic powder
28 oz hot water (3 1/2 cups)
21 oz diced green chili strips (3.7-oz cans) or fresh green chilis if you can get them
3/4-1 oz jalapeno peppers (ortega brand) or (fresh if you like)
1 Tbsp sugar
1 1/2 Tbsp salt

Steps:

  • 1. Cut pork into 1/2 inch squares and with the pork bones fry over low heat until brown and the meat is slightly dry. If pork is very fat, pour off all but 4 or 5 Tbsp. of the grease.
  • 2. Using a colander, strain tomatoes into an 8-quart saucepan and coursely chop tomatoes. Combine tomatoes, tomato sauce, garlic, hot water and cooked pork and bones in the same saucepan. Bring to rapid boil and continue boiling for 20 minutes. Add spices, chopped jalapenos and chopped chili strips. Continue boiling another 20 minutes.
  • 3. Finish by cooking on medium heat until desired thickness, usually about another 20 minutes. Remove bones and green chili is ready to serve.
  • 4. NOTE: May be kept refrigerated for a week or frozen for 3 months. Use to cover burritos, chili rellenos and most anything. Melt an equal amount of grated sharp Cheddar cheese and green chili for a chili con queso dip.

Tips:

  • Choose the right type of pork. Pork shoulder (also known as pork butt) is the best cut of meat for chili verde because it is flavorful and has a good amount of fat. You can also use pork loin or tenderloin, but these cuts will be less flavorful.
  • Use fresh, flavorful tomatillos. Tomatillos are the key ingredient in chili verde, so it is important to use fresh, ripe tomatillos. Look for tomatillos that are firm and green, with no blemishes.
  • Roast the tomatillos and peppers before blending them. Roasting the tomatillos and peppers will deepen their flavor and give the chili verde a smoky taste. You can roast the tomatillos and peppers in the oven or on a grill.
  • Use a variety of chiles. The type of chiles you use will determine the heat level of your chili verde. For a milder chili, use poblano or Anaheim chiles. For a spicier chili, use serrano or jalapeño chiles. You can also use a combination of different types of chiles.
  • Simmer the chili verde for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld and the pork to become tender.

Conclusion:

Chili verde is a delicious and flavorful Mexican stew that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like it mild or spicy, chili verde is a dish that everyone will enjoy.
