PORK GREEN CHILE



Pork Green Chile image

A simple and, in my opinion, authentic version, this recipe comes down at least 3 or 4 generations of my family. You will know it's done when the sauce has a medium thickness. Remember, the longer it cooks, the better it will taste. You can serve smothered over burritos or with warm tortillas, beans and/or fried potatoes. Also delicious with fried eggs (Huevos rancheros). Substitute 4 or 5 chopped roasted chiles for green chiles and jalapenos if you prefer.

NEW MEXICO GREEN-CHILE POZOLE



New Mexico Green-Chile Pozole image

Dried hominy (hulled and dried kernels of corn) adds an incomparable corn flavor to this soup, but canned hominy is commonly used as a substitute.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Soups, Stews & Stocks     Soup Recipes

Time 3h45m

Yield Makes 12 cups

Number Of Ingredients 12

12 ounces dried hominy, rinsed or 4 cans (15 ounces each) hominy, drained and rinsed (6 cups)
3 pounds country-style pork ribs (or 2 pounds cubed pork shoulder, plus 1 pound baby back ribs or spareribs)
8 sprigs flat-leaf parsley, tied together with kitchen twine
4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano, preferably Mexican
1 pound tomatillos, husked and rinsed
10 ounces pepitas (hulled green pumpkin seeds; 2 1/4 cups)
3 large jalapeno chiles, quartered
1 cup packed cilantro sprigs
1 medium white onion, coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons sunflower or safflower oil
Coarse salt

Steps:

  • If using dried hominy, bring hominy and 6 quarts water to a boil in a large pot (do not salt). Reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until pointed tip can be pinched off and hominy is tender, about 2 hours. Transfer hominy to a bowl using a slotted spoon; let cool for 5 minutes. Pinch off the pointed tip of each kernel; discard. Return hominy to pot with liquid, and simmer until tender, about 1 hour and 45 minutes. Let stand.
  • Meanwhile, place pork in a large pot; cover with water by 2 inches (about 3 quarts). Add parsley and garlic, and bring to a boil. Skim top layer of foam and fat from pot using a ladle. Reduce heat to medium-low; stir in oregano. Simmer, partially covered, until meat is falling off the bone, about 3 hours. Remove pork from broth; reserve broth. Trim excess fat, and remove meat from bones; discard bones. Shred meat, and cover.
  • Meanwhile, fill a small pot with water, and bring to a boil. Add tomatillos; simmer until tender, about 10 minutes. Transfer tomatillos to a medium bowl using slotted spoon; reserve cooking liquid if using canned hominy.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Toast pepitas, shaking and stirring often, until golden and popping, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer to tomatillos. Add jalapenos, cilantro, onion, and 1 1/2 cups reserved hominy cooking liquid (use reserved tomatillo cooking liquid if using canned hominy). Let cool for 5 minutes. Working in batches, puree mixture in a blender until smooth, adding up to 1/2 cup more cooking liquid if needed.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until surface is shimmering. Add tomatillo puree and 1/2 teaspoon salt, stirring constantly as it spatters. Reduce heat to medium; simmer gently, stirring occasionally, until thick and color deepens, about 15 minutes.
  • Stir 1 tablespoon salt and the tomatillo mixture into reserved pork broth (8 cups; add reserved hominy or tomatillo cooking liquid if needed). Bring to a boil; add pork. Reduce heat, and simmer gently until heated through, about 10 minutes. Stir in cooked or canned hominy, and season with salt and pepper. Simmer until heated through, about 5 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of pork. Pork shoulder or butt is the best choice for pozole because it is a tough cut of meat that will become tender when cooked slowly in liquid. You can also use pork loin, but it will be less flavorful.
  • Brown the pork before simmering. This will help to develop the flavor of the meat and give the pozole a richer color.
  • Use a variety of chiles. This will give the pozole a complex flavor. Some good choices include ancho chiles, guajillo chiles, and New Mexico chiles.
  • Don't be afraid to adjust the heat level. If you like your pozole spicy, add more chiles. If you prefer a milder flavor, use fewer chiles.
  • Add toppings when serving. Common toppings for pozole include avocado, cilantro, lime wedges, radishes, and onions.

Conclusion:

Pozole is a delicious and versatile soup that can be enjoyed all year round. It is a great way to use up leftover pork and vegetables, and it can be easily customized to your taste. So next time you are looking for a hearty and flavorful soup, give pozole a try!
