Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Combine tomatillos, jalapenos, and 1/4 cup of chicken stock in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook until the tomatillo begins to break down and get soft. Remove from heat.
- Heat a large, oven-safe Dutch oven over medium-high heat and add grape seed oil. Add pork to hot pan and brown well on all sides. Remove pork from pan and pour off most of the oil and fat. Reserve some fat in pan.
- Add tomatillo, jalapeno, onion, and garlic to food processor and puree until smooth. Return pork pan to medium heat and add puree to the reserved fat in pan. Add cumin and salt, and heat through.
- Add the rest of chicken stock into pot with puree and stir to combine.
- Nestle pork back into the pot of puree and stock. The pork should be covered about 3/4 of the way. Add more stock if needed. Cover and put in preheated oven for about 3-4 hours, until pork is tender and falling apart. Turn the pork at least once halfway through the cook time. Using two forks, shred the pork a bit and mix it through the sauce to get the flavor incorporated into all the pork. Taste and add salt and pepper if needed.
- Serve pork stew right out of the pot and top with garnishes (cilantro, queso fresco, pepitas, and hot sauce). Serve heated corn tortillas on the side for dipping and scooping.

Steps:
- Preheat the broiler and line a baking sheet with foil.
- Put the tomatillos, poblanos, jalapeno and serrano pepper on the prepared baking sheet and toss with the olive oil. Place under the broiler and cook, carefully removing the baking sheet and flipping once halfway, until the peppers are blistered and charred all over, 5 to 6 minutes. Allow to cool while you prepare the pork.
- Season the pork with 1 tablespoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Sprinkle over the flour and toss to coat. Heat the vegetable oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add half the pork and cook until browned on all sides, 3 to 4 minutes; remove to a plate. Repeat with the remaining pork.
- Lower the heat to medium and stir in the garlic, carrots, onions, oregano and chile powder. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions have softened, 4 to 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- Meanwhile, peel and seed the poblanos. Chop the poblanos, jalapeno, serrano and tomatillos. Stir into the pot with the vegetables. Add the stock and bay leaves and return the seared pork. Bring to a boil, then lower to a gentle simmer. Cover and cook until the pork is extremely tender, about 1 hour. Check the pot occasionally, making sure there is enough liquid. Add a little more stock or water as needed.
- Remove the bay leaves and stir in the cilantro and lime juice. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
- If serving immediately, spoon into bowls and top with the grated cheese, sour cream and cilantro. Serve with lime wedges and warmed tortillas
- To freeze, allow the stew to cool completely. Transfer to a deep 9-by-13-inch foil pan and wrap tightly with foil and plastic wrap. Put the grated cheese in a labeled quart-size resealable plastic bag. Put the stew, cheese and a pack of tortillas onto a baking sheet and freeze.
- To serve, remove the meal kit from the freezer. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Remove the foil and plastic wrap from the stew, then return the foil. Bake until heated through, 50 to 55 minutes. Let the tortillas and cheese thaw while the stew reheats, then remove the tortillas from the pack, wrap in foil and warm in the oven for the last 10 minutes while the stew is cooking.
- Serve the stew in bowls with the fixins -- cheese, cilantro and tortillas alongside some sour cream and lime wedges.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Place the poblano halves on a baking sheet and roast until they begin to shrivel, about 20 minutes. Transfer the roasted poblanos to a food processor and puree until smooth.
- Heat the butter in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, reduce the heat to medium, and cook, stirring often, until the onion is soft and golden, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer the onion to a plate and set aside to cool.
- Bring a medium saucepan of water to a simmer. Add the tomatillos and blanch them until they turn vibrant in color and the center of the largest one is easily pierced with a fork, about 5 minutes. Drain the tomatillos in a fine-mesh sieve then run them under cold water to cool. Transfer the blanched tomatillos to the food processor bowl with the poblano puree, add the cooled onion, pears, green chiles, cilantro, and white pepper and process until smooth.
- Bring the vegetable broth to a simmer in a saucepan. Add the poblano-tomatillo puree, cream and sour cream and reduce the heat to medium-low. Gently simmer the sauce, stirring often, until light and creamy, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
- Use an immersion blender to blend until smooth (or blend the sauce in batches using a standard blender). The sauce can be refrigerated for up to 4 days or frozen for up to 4 months.
TOMATILLO STEW
A versatile stew base that can be switched to suit any palate. The tomatillos give this stew base a plenty of citrus flavors, so feel free to leave out the additional lime juice. The roasted poblanos provide a very subtle heat that is not at all overpowering. If more heat is desired, add a couple of chopped chipotles in adobo or 2-3 chopped serrano or jalapeño chiles. Serving Ideas: When the stew has cooked about halfway (step 4), add meat of choice: shredded roast chicken or thinly sliced boneless pork chops would be equally good. In the original version, I used 1 1/2 pounds of pre-cooked beef tongue; the richness of the meat paired quite well with the tart flavors in the stew. For a veggie version, stir in some cubed eggplant or winter squash or whatever protein substitute you like.

Steps:
- Remove and discard husks from the tomatillos and rinse well. Place in a medium sauce pan with the water and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, until tomatillos are softened, about 10 minutes. Let cool slightly and pour into blender container; blend or pulse to desired smoothness. Set aside.
- While tomatillos are cooking, roast poblanos. Place on a baking sheet under broiler, turning frequently until skins are blackened and blistered all over. Alternately, place over gas burner of stove, turning with long-handled tongs--take care not let handles of tongs overheat and burn your hands. When chiles are blackened all over, place in a large bowl and cover with plastic wrap or a dish towel. Let sit for 15-20 minutes, until cool enough to handle. Rub skins from chiles; cut in half and discard stems and seeds. Dice chiles and set aside.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions, bell pepper, and carrots to skillet and sauté until onions become translucent, 5-7 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring so garlic doesn't burn. Add diced poblanos, tomatillo mixture, can tomatoes, oregano and cumin. Stir and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, partially covered, for 15-20 minutes.
- If stew gets too thick, add additional water or chicken broth to desired thickness. Season to taste with salt and pepper and stir in lime juice and oregano, if using. Add meat or other ingredients and cook for an another 10-15 minutes and serve over steamed white rice with hot tortillas on the side.
Tips:
- For best results, use fresh tomatillos. If you can't find fresh tomatillos, you can use canned tomatillos, but be sure to drain and rinse them well before using.
- You can adjust the heat of the stew by adjusting the amount of chili peppers you use. If you don't like spicy food, you can omit the chili peppers altogether.
- Serve the stew with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, avocado, or cilantro.
- If you want a thicker stew, you can add a cornstarch slurry at the end of the cooking time. To make a cornstarch slurry, mix together 1 tablespoon of cornstarch and 1 tablespoon of water until smooth. Stir the slurry into the stew and cook until thickened.
Conclusion:
This green chili stew with tomatillos is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover chicken or beef. The stew is packed with flavor and is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
