EASY CHILE VERDE
If you order a bowl of authentic Mexican chile verde in the Southwest, you'll find hunks of juicy, tender pork shoulder that have been braised for hours in a tart tomatillo-chile sauce. While the original is worthy of a special weekend project, we wanted a recipe that we could make on any lazy Sunday and still be delicious. By using storebought ingredients that bring maximum flavor with the minimal amount of fuss, we created a hearty and warming chile verde that is practically hands-off. In a rush? Try the pressure-cooker version of this recipe, instead.

CHILI VERDE
This is a 'brown sauce' that I have had over chimichangas in Mexican restaurants, and is one of my favorites. When I found I could make it at home, it has become a regular. May be served as soup or over chimis. Top with sour cream and shredded cheese. Enjoy.

EMERALD FLAME (CHILI VERDE)
I first made this chili verde in a workplace cook-off and managed to take first prize and win $100 in the process. I love chili and also have a couple red versions that I enjoy making. Yes, some of my chili recipes have beans (I love the texture of a well-cooked pinto bean) and some do not. This recipe does not. Please enjoy!

Steps:
- Heat your oven to 450 °F.
- In a large mixing bowl, toss the tomatillos with half of the extra-virgin olive oil. Sprinkle with black pepper and salt (to taste; just a few pinches) and place, cut-side-down, in a roasting dish.
- Separately, take a bulb of garlic, cut off its top (just exposing all of the cloves) and drizzle with a tiny bit of olive oil. Place this, upside-down in the roasting dish on top of the tomatillos.
- Put the roasting dish in the heated oven for 35-45 minutes or until the garlic is soft and the tomatillos are slightly browned.
- Finely dice the jalapeños and Serrano chiles. If you want to reduce the heat, remove the seeds and white membrane, inside. You can also roast the chiles (coated with a small amount of oil) along with the tomatillos. If you want it hot, just finely dice them and don't bother to roast them. Once diced, set aside.
- Finely dice four onions, eight green onions, and the green bell peppers and add them to the bowl with the chiles.
- Dice the chicken (breasts and thighs) into small pieces, just small enough so that two of them would easily fit onto a soup spoon. This would be about a half inch, cubed. Place the chicken into a bowl and set aside.
- In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the cumin seeds and red chili flakes until they start to give off an aroma. Remove from the heat, let them cool a bit, and grind into a powder. Dust the chicken with half of the total amount of powder along with a teaspoon of salt and a half teaspoon of black pepper; mix the chicken with the spices to coat, thoroughly.
- In a deep-sided pot, heat the remaining half of the oil over medium-high heat. When hot, add the chicken and, stirring, cook it until the surface is white and just starting -barely- to brown.
- Add the diced onions, peppers, and chiles, and stir into the chicken, adding the remainder of the ground cumin spice mixture. Cook until the onions start to become transluscent.
- Add the tomatillos to the pot and squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of their papery husk into the pot. Stir to incorporate and cover with eight cups of chicken broth and four cups of water. Cover and bring to a low boil.
- Once simmering, allow the liquid to cook and reduce for about 30-45 minutes. The liquid should be about as thick as a thick stew. Taste and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Finely chop a bunch of fresh cillantro and stir into the chili. Remove from the heat; the extra heat will cook the minced cillantro.
- Serve hot.

Tips:
- Choose the right chiles: For a milder chili, use poblano or Anaheim chiles. For a spicier chili, use serrano or habanero chiles. Adjust the amount of chiles used to your desired heat level.
- Roast the chiles: Roasting the chiles brings out their smoky flavor. You can roast them in the oven, on a grill, or over an open flame. Once roasted, remove the stems and seeds and chop the chiles.
- Use fresh tomatillos: Fresh tomatillos have a bright, tangy flavor that adds depth to the chili. If you can't find fresh tomatillos, you can use canned tomatillos, but they will not have the same flavor.
- Simmer the chili for at least 30 minutes: This allows the flavors to meld and develop. The longer you simmer the chili, the better it will taste.
- Serve with your favorite toppings: Chili is a versatile dish that can be served with a variety of toppings. Some popular toppings include sour cream, shredded cheese, diced avocado, and chopped cilantro.
Conclusion:
Emerald Flame Chili Verde is a delicious, easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a party or a weeknight meal. The combination of roasted chiles, fresh tomatillos, and tender pork is sure to please everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a new chili recipe, give Emerald Flame Chili Verde a try. You won't be disappointed!
