PORK CHILI



Pork Chili image

I searched all over for a pork chili using minced (ground) pork, but couldn't find one (or one to suit) so came up with my own version. Russell thought it was an actual recipe and gave it 5 stars ;-) This doesn't make a huge pot of chili like some recipes I see, but is enough for 4 hearty eaters. We like our chili over rice.

Time 2h

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 tablespoons oil
1 onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 chorizo sausage, sliced fine and small
500 g ground pork (ground)
3 tablespoons Mexican chili powder
1 teaspoon oregano
2 teaspoons cumin
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon chicken stock powder
1 teaspoon cocoa powder
1 teaspoon chipotle chili flakes
1/2 cup tomato paste
2 cups water
1 (400 g) can peeled chopped tomatoes
1 (400 g) can red kidney beans

Steps:

  • Heat the oil over medium heat and fry onion and garlic gently until softened (about 10 minutes).
  • Add pork and chorizo sausage and cook unti pordk changes colour.
  • Add the spices, sugar, cocoa, stock powder and sugar and stir cooking for about 1 minute.
  • Add the tomato paste to the pan and cook it for a few minutes-I think this takes away the "raw" taste.
  • Add the water and tomatoes and simmer for about 1 1/2 hours and until it is a nice thick consistency (add more water if it gets too thick).
  • About 15 minutes before serving, add the kidney beans to the chili.
  • We like to eat our chili topped with sour cream, grated cheese and pickled jalapenos and sometimes guacomale.

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h10m

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.

WHITE BEAN GREEN CHILI WITH GROUND PORK



White Bean Green Chili With Ground Pork image

I love white chili, I love green chiles, and I love ground pork - so I created this crockpot recipe to combine all flavors!

Provided by p00gJr

Categories     Beans

Time 6h30m

Yield 6 bowls, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 lb white beans, soaked overnight rinsed, and strained
1 lb ground pork
1/2 lb green chili
2 garlic cloves, peeled and finely minuced
1/2 onion, chopped
1 (8 ounce) can chicken broth
1 tablespoon cumin
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon paprika
1 tablespoon black pepper
1 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Brown ground pork and strain grease (although when I've been in a hurry, I've skipped this step and put it in the crock pot raw and it didn't ultimately hurt the flavor at all).
  • Rinse and strain beans
  • Combine all ingredients in crockpot, adding however much water the bag of beans directs (include the chicken broth in this measurement)
  • *Note - you can use canned green chiles (if so, use about 3 cans) or fresh Hatch green chiles, when in season!
  • Stir ingredients, set crockpot to high, let simmer on high for about 30 minutes.
  • Turn crockpot to low, let cook as long as needed, I usually do about 8 hours, although it'd be ready to eat around 6 hours.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

1 dried chile (such as chile de árbol)
1 pound ground pork
1 tablespoon fish sauce
1 tablespoon soy sauce
Pinch of sugar
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
2 teaspoons unseasoned rice vinegar

Tips:

  • Choose the right ground pork: For the best flavor and texture, use a mixture of ground pork shoulder and ground pork loin.

  • Use a variety of chili peppers: This will give your chili a more complex flavor. Some good options include ancho chili powder, chipotle chili powder, and cayenne pepper.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different ingredients: There are many different ways to make chili, so feel free to add your own favorite ingredients. Some good options include corn, black beans, and sweet potatoes.
  • Let the chili simmer for a long time: This will help to develop the flavors and make the chili more tender.
