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.

GREEN CHILI PORK STEW



Green Chili Pork Stew image

This is a fairly simple but tasty stew. It is based loosely on a recipe from TOH. I've modified it to use leftover "Mean Chef Pulled Pork" (sans sauce). Hope you enjoy!

Provided by Tamaretta

Categories     Pork

Time 1h

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 -3 poblano peppers, roasted, peeled and chopped (see note)
4 medium potatoes, peeled and diced

2 cups water
1 -2 teaspoon chopped garlic
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon seasoning salt
pepper
1 lb leftover cooked pork (see Mean Chef Pulled Pork #26257)

Steps:

  • Note: To peel poblano peppers, either broil in the oven or using skewers roast over gas flames until skin is blackened, put into brown paper sack and close lid - Leave for appx 10 mins to steam - While waiting for the peppers to cool, peel and dice potatoes, open tomatoes, measure spices, etc.- Once peppers are cool enough to handle, skin should slip off (I usually do about 12 peppers at a time and freeze what I don't use).
  • In a large soup pot, add all ingredients except for cooked meat. (More water may be needed to cover potatoes).
  • Cover and simmer for 35 minutes.
  • Taste, adjust any seasonings, add pork and simmer for an additional 10 minutes or until potatoes are done and meat is hot.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of pork: Pork shoulder (also known as pork butt) is the best cut for this recipe, as it is well-marbled and will become tender and flavorful when slow-cooked.
  • Brown the pork before braising: Browning the pork in a skillet before braising it in the slow cooker helps to develop flavor and color.
  • Use a flavorful braising liquid: The braising liquid is what will give the pork its flavor, so make sure to use a flavorful liquid such as chicken broth, beef broth, or a combination of the two. You can also add other ingredients to the braising liquid for extra flavor, such as vegetables, herbs, and spices.
  • Cook the pork on low and slow: The key to tender, fall-apart pork is to cook it on low and slow. This will allow the pork to cook evenly and develop its full flavor.
  • Shred the pork before serving: Once the pork is cooked, shred it with two forks or with your fingers. This will make it easy to serve and eat.

Conclusion:

Green chile shredded pork is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served in a variety of ways. It can be served on its own, with rice or beans, or used as a filling for tacos, burritos, and enchiladas. The leftovers can also be used to make soup or chili. No matter how you choose to serve it, green chile shredded pork is sure to be a hit.
