Categories     main-dish

Time 3h30m

Yield 1 gallon

Number Of Ingredients 16

Olive oil
5 cups diced onion
1/2 cup chopped garlic
1/3 cup chopped serrano peppers
1/3 cup chopped jalapeno peppers
5 pounds cubed pork shoulder
1 quart chicken broth
15 to 20 Anaheim peppers
12 to 15 tomatillos
3 tablespoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon Mexican oregano
1 teaspoon ground coriander
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 cup corn flour

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add 1/2 cup of olive oil. Stir in the onion, garlic, serrano and jalapeno peppers and cook until soft. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • Place the pork shoulder in a large heavy bottomed pot, coated with oil, over medium heat and sear until well browned on all sides. Deglaze with the chicken broth, and then add sauteed onions and peppers. Turn heat to low, cover and let it simmer for 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, place the Anaheim peppers on a sheet pan.
  • Peel the outer paper skins off the tomatillos, then coat with olive oil and place on another sheet pan. Place both pans in the preheated oven and roast until the peppers are nicely charred and the tomatillos are soft, about 20 minutes.
  • Remove pans from the oven and place the peppers in a plastic bag to let them steam for 5 minutes.
  • Peel and seed peppers, and then puree them with the tomatillos in a food processor. Add the puree to the pork mixture, stir, and then let simmer on low heat.
  • Combine the garlic powder, black pepper, ground cumin, Mexican oregano, ground coriander and salt in a small bowl, then add to pork mixture and stir well.
  • In a small saute pan, mix 1/2 cup olive oil with the corn flour, stirring over low heat for 2 minutes to make a masa roux.
  • Let the chili mixture simmer for approximately 1 1/2 to 2 hours on medium-low heat, or until pork is nice and tender. Then stir in masa roux and simmer for 10 more minutes.

TOP SECRET AWARD-WINNING CHILI VERDE



Top Secret Award-Winning Chili Verde image

This recipe was developed by Chef Rachel Bradley. I originally found it on the Castro Valley Patch website. I was looking for anuthentic chili verde recipe for my mom and stumbled across this one. Man am I glad that I did! It is AMAZING. Im not going to lie, its a lot of work but it was SO worth it! Be prepared to be cooking most of the day but please dont let that scare you off! The recipe is VERY simple, just a huge labor of LOVE! Note on PREP TIME and COOKING TIME: I have made this once and it took me 7 hours from the very beginning to putting it on the table. I also have 2 children that I was concentrating on so I set the prep time at 3 hours. Depending on how you roast the peppers and tomatillos and what size pot you use to brown the pork that time will very.

Time 5h

Yield 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

4 lbs boneless pork shoulder, trimmed and cut into 1 inch cubes
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 large yellow onions, fire roasted and chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon sea salt
black pepper, freshly ground, to taste
1 tablespoon cumin, ground
10 poblano peppers, fire roasted, peeled, seeded, and chopped
6 jalapenos, fire roasted, peeled, seeded, and chopped
3 yellow bell peppers, fire roasted, seeded, peeled, and chopped
6 anaheim chilies, fire roasted, seeded, peeled, and chopped
2 quarts chicken stock
3 lbs tomatillos, husks removed, fire roasted
2 bunches cilantro, stems discarded, leaves chopped
3 large limes, juiced
1/2 lb smoked bacon, diced

Steps:

  • Fire-roast the peppers and tomatillos. You can do this on the grill, over a gas burner, or under your broiler turned on high. The goal is to char the skin of the vegetable. ROASTING THE PEPPERS AND TOMATILLOS ADDS TONS OF FLAVOR TO THEM! IT IS WORK BUT DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP!
  • Place the charred vegetables in a large heat proof bowl or pan and cover with foil. The steam from the vegetables will help the charred skin come off easily. Let sit covered 15-20 minutes and then the charred skin will easily peel off the peppers and tomatillos.
  • In a large (6 to 8 quart) stock pot, over high heat, brown the bacon reserving the bacon drippings.
  • Next, trim off any excess fat from the pork and cut into 1 inch squares. Liberally season the pork with salt and pepper and toss with flour to coat evenly.
  • DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP! THIS IS WHAT ADDS THE MOST FLAVOR TO THE CHILI VERDE! Brown the seasoned pork in small batches, in the bacon drippings, being careful not to overcrowd the pot. Remove the pork from the pot and pour off the fat drippings, leaving two tablespoons of fat. Caramelizing the meat to a rich golden-brown is a key flavor step!
  • In the same pot, over a medium heat, add the chopped onion, garlic, salt, and pepper and sauté until transparent, scraping up any browned bits. Add the cumin, pork, and chicken stock, and cook simmering over medium-low heat for 1 hour.
  • Place half of the peppers, one bunch of cilantro, and half of the tomatillos in to a blender or the bowl of a food processor and pulse for a chunky puree. Add the puree to the pot with the pork and stir to combine, cooking on medium-low for an additional 30 minutes.
  • Roughly chop the remaining tomatillos, peppers, and cilantro. Add them to the pot, stir, and simmer for an additional 30 minutes, for a total cooking time of two hours.
  • Add the lime juice and adjust seasoning to taste with salt and pepper.

Tips:

  • To achieve the best flavor, use fresh, high-quality ingredients whenever possible.
  • Don't be afraid to adjust the heat level of the chili verde to your liking. You can add more or less Anaheim or serrano peppers, depending on your desired spice level.
  • If you want a thicker chili verde, you can add a cornstarch or flour slurry. Just be sure to whisk it in slowly to avoid lumps.
  • Serve the chili verde with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, avocado, cilantro, and cheese.
  • Leftover chili verde can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
