Time 5h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 19

4 fresh tomatillos - husked, peeled, and halved
3 Anaheim chile peppers - seeded and halved
3 jalapeno peppers - seeded and halved lengthwise
1 medium onion, halved
1 green bell pepper, seeded and halved lengthwise
1 tablespoon olive oil, or as needed
salt to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 ½ cups pork shoulder, cut into 1-inch chunks
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 tomatoes, chopped
4 cloves garlic, chopped
1 beef bouillon cube
½ (12 fluid ounce) can or bottle lager-style beer
2 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
4 ounces cream cheese at room temperature

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  • Arrange the halved tomatillos, Anaheim chiles, jalapenos, onion, and green bell pepper on a baking sheet. Drizzle the vegetables with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
  • Roast the vegetables in the preheated oven until they begin to show brown spots, about 30 minutes. Allow to cool, then chop vegetables into bite-size pieces.
  • Heat 1 more tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over high heat, and pan-fry the pork until browned, sprinkling the meat with salt and black pepper as it cooks, about 12 minutes. Transfer the pork cubes to a slow cooker, and stir in the roasted vegetables. Mix in the tomatoes, garlic, beef bouillon cube, beer, oregano, parsley, cumin, and chili powder. Set the cooker on Low, cover, and cook until the pork is very tender, 4 to 6 hours.
  • About 1/2 hour before serving, place the cream cheese into a bowl, and stir in about 1 tablespoon of the chili liquid until thoroughly combined. Continue stirring in chili broth, a tablespoon at a time, until the cream cheese is almost a liquid. Stir the cream cheese mixture back into the chili.

Tips:

  • To make wonton wrappers from scratch, combine 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 egg in a food processor. Pulse until the dough just comes together, then knead on a lightly floured surface for a few minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover with plastic wrap and let rest for 30 minutes before using.
  • If you're short on time, you can use store-bought wonton wrappers. Just make sure they're fresh and not dried out.
  • To make the green chili sauce, start by roasting the poblano peppers. This will give them a smoky flavor. You can roast them in the oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 15-20 minutes, or on a grill over medium heat for 10-12 minutes. Once the peppers are roasted, remove the stems and seeds, and then chop them finely.
  • You can adjust the spiciness of the green chili sauce by adding more or less serrano peppers. If you want a very spicy sauce, use 2 serranos. For a milder sauce, use 1 serrano.
  • To make the wontons, simply spoon a small amount of the green chili sauce into the center of each wrapper. Then, fold the wrapper in half and pinch the edges to seal. Make sure the wontons are sealed tightly so they don't burst open while cooking.
  • You can cook the wontons in boiling water, vegetable oil, or a combination of both. If you boil them, cook them for 3-4 minutes, or until they float to the top. If you fry them, heat the oil to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and fry the wontons for 2-3 minutes, or until they're golden brown.
  • Serve the green chili wontons with your favorite dipping sauce. Some good options include soy sauce, vinegar, or chili oil.

Conclusion:

Green chili wontons are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. They're perfect for parties, potlucks, or game day gatherings. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make these wontons that are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
