Green pork chili is a flavorful and hearty soup that is perfect for a cold night. It is made with pork, green chiles, tomatillos, and a variety of spices. The pork is cooked until tender in a flavorful broth made with chili peppers, tomatillos, onions, and garlic. The green chiles add a spicy kick, while the tomatillos provide a tart and tangy flavor. Green pork chili is typically served with toppings such as cheese, sour cream, and cilantro.

PORK GREEN CHILI (COLORADO STYLE)
I grew up in Colorado and so I grew up loving green chili! When I moved to North Carolina 4 years ago I was surprised and very disappointed to learn that NO ONE here had ever even heard of green chili. I have spent the last year going through different recipes, I think I have finally got it nailed through a great mix of about 6 of the recipes I tried. Jalapeños may be added to taste if you like the flavor. Chili can be served over any burritos, served as a dip with tortilla chips, or as a main course with warm tortillas. Recipe makes a lot but it freezes well so you can enjoy it for a few months without having to spend too much time cooking.

Steps:
- Simmer roast in a large pan until meat is tender and removes from the bone easily. (You can also use diced pork, or pork cube steaks (cut to bite size pieces), browned in the pot with the onion and garlic before adding the rest of the ingredients). Cool meat enough to handle.

Stir flour into the onion, garlic and fat until flour absorbs the oil or fat. Add broth. Cook and stir until mixture comes to boil and is slightly thickened. Add cubed meat, drained tomatoes, chopped tomatillos, all of the green chilies and jalapeños. Add the spices a little at a time until you get the taste you like, bringing to a simmer before each addition.

PORK AND GREEN CHILI CHIMICHANGAS
These pork chimichangas are delicious and easy to make. I have been perfecting this recipe for the past 15 years. They are baked, instead of deep fried. This recipe makes 10 entree size or 18 lunch sized chimis. They are also an economical choice with only 7 common ingredients. You will love the flavor of these.

Steps:
- Cut pork butt into 1" cubes. Place cut pork into large dutch oven, cover and cook over medium heat for 10 minutes. Uncover, stir and continue cooking until meat is well browned and juices are almost gone. This will take about 10-15 minutes.
- Then add water to pan, enough to cover meat completely. Turn heat up to high and cook until water boils, then cover and reduce heat to simmer. Cook for 1 hour and 15 minutes.
- While meat is cooking, prepare the flour tortillas. Spread a light amount of butter on both sides of each tortilla, set aside in a pile. When you are done buttering them, cover with the plastic bag they came in, so they will remain pliable.
- Spray a 13" x 9" baking dish with non-stick spray. Set aside.
- When timer is done for the pork, uncover and turn heat up to high. Cook over high heat until all the water is gone from the pan. When that is done, reduce heat to low and add crushed oregano leaves, cumin, salt, pepper, vinegar and diced green chiles. Stir well and then turn heat off.
- Shred the meat using to large forks.
- Set your oven to 500 degrees.
- To assemble each chimichanga: Place 3-4 tablespoons of meat mixture on lower 3rd of tortilla, spoon meat mixture to within a 1/2″ of each side of tortilla. Then take left side and fold over meat, do the same on right side, like the top flap of an envelope. Then roll up towards 12 o'clock while keeping sides overlapping the filling just slightly.
- Depending on the size of your tortillas it may take two turns, set them seam side down on a baking sheet. Once they are all in the pan, spread butter on the tops of the chimichangas.
- Then bake in oven on middle rack at 500 degree for 6-8 minutes.
- Depending on your oven, start checking the chimi's after 6 minutes. You want them golden brown and delicious.
- Remove from oven and serve with freshly made guacamole, sour cream and pico de gallo.
- Cooks Notes: Depending on the size of your flour tortillas and whether you want to make 'Entree' or 'Lunch' size chimichangas, this recipe will make up to 18 chimi's. If you use 3 tablespoons of filling in each you will get 18 smaller, or skinnier, chimichangas.

Steps:
- Brown ground pork and strain grease (although when I've been in a hurry, I've skipped this step and put it in the crock pot raw and it didn't ultimately hurt the flavor at all).
- Rinse and strain beans
- Combine all ingredients in crockpot, adding however much water the bag of beans directs (include the chicken broth in this measurement)
- *Note - you can use canned green chiles (if so, use about 3 cans) or fresh Hatch green chiles, when in season!
- Stir ingredients, set crockpot to high, let simmer on high for about 30 minutes.
- Turn crockpot to low, let cook as long as needed, I usually do about 8 hours, although it'd be ready to eat around 6 hours.

This couldn't be easier to put together. I made this for a potluck luncheon at work years ago and was amazed at how popular it became with my co-workers.

- I have made this in my electric skillet and instead of putting it in the oven, just placed the lid on the skillet and let it simmer VERY slowly for 20 or so minutes. Then added the cheese, replaced the lid for about 5 minutes -- and it was good to go.
INSTANT POT GREEN PORK CHILI
Chili is best simmered low and slow, but sometimes you don't have the time. A pressure cooker helps tenderize pork shoulder, a cut of meat that's usually tough, in minutes rather than hours. A mixture of green chiles, cilantro, garlic and lime brighten up this easy and wonderfully speedy.

Steps:
- For the chili: In a small food processor, combine the scallions, garlic, poblano, jalapeno and cilantro. Process until a chunky paste forms, 2 to 3 minutes. Scrape into a 6-quart Instant Pot®, add the pork, canned chiles with their liquid, the cumin, salt and pepper. Stir together.
- Follow the manufacturer's guide for locking the lid and preparing to cook. Set to pressure cook on high for 35 minutes. After the pressure-cook cycle is complete, follow the manufacturer's guide for quick release and wait until the quick-release cycle is complete.
- Being careful of any remaining steam, unlock and remove the lid. Set the pot to saute on high and stir in the beans and lime juice. Taste for seasoning and add more salt or pepper, if needed. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened slightly, 10 to 15 minutes. For a thicker chili, simmer until it reaches your desired consistency.
- Meanwhile, prepare the toppings. When ready to serve, ladle the chili into shallow bowls and garnish with avocado, Cotija, cilantro and lime wedges.

GREEN HELL CHILI VERDE WITH WHITE BEANS AND PORK
Another long prep recipe, this hearty and spicy stew is an excellent part of a harvest meal or just perfect for colder days. All of my recipes take a while and produce copious amounts of leftovers, and lend themselves to quick meals later. Green Hell Chili Verde with White Beans and Pork is no exception. Everything from scratch, whenever possible. Adjust the heat by either adding or subtracting fresh jalapeno peppers. Green tomatoes can substitute for tomatillos, or use both if you want. The beans need to be white, but Great Northern beans work really well. Corn flour or wheat flour are important - using cornstarch makes it slimy. Better Than Bouillon makes an excellent Ham Stock concentrate (FYI).

Steps:
- Trim excess fat off of pork chops and cut into cubes or chunks.
- Heat oil in the bottom of your stock pot over medium heat, add pork, salt and black pepper to taste. Cook until pork is browned and cooked through.
- Add tablespoon (or more) concentrated ham stock or four cups prepared ham stock, stir into the pork.
- Stir the mixture, cover the pot, turn down a touch and leave it alone.
- Peel tomatillos, garlic cloves, and yellow onions. Trim the roots off of the green onions and cut them into four inch pieces. Split and seed the jalapeno peppers. Chop the cilantro. Liquify all ingredients in a blender or food processor, adding water as needed. They must be liquified and smooth. Fill a large mixing bowl with the puree as you go. When all of the ingredients are liquified and in the large mixing bowl, whisk in the white pepper, black pepper and cumin. Set it aside.
- Stir the pork, oil, and ham concentrate. When the pork is browned and tender, add liquified ingredients, stir together, bring to a gentle simmer, cover the pot again, and turn heat down to just above "low." Ignore for a minimum of two hours (I generally go for three). This lets the flavors combine and develop and become very fragrant. Stir it if you want to, but I have not found it necessary. In two or three hours, your kitchen should reek and the stew should be bright green, potent, fragrant, and ready for completion.
- After a few hours, mix your favorite cornbread recipe (savory is better than sweet on this one), pop that in the oven (20 minutes or so?) and open the canned beans into a strainer or colander. Drain and rinse beans in cold water and add to the soup pot. Stir the beans into the stew, bring to a gentle simmer once again, and cover.
- Mix corn flour or wheat flour into very cold water until all of the lumps are gone and you have formed a thick-ish slurry. Add to the soup pot, stir constantly until thick.
- Time to eat. Serve with warm cornbread or tortillas or both. Top servings with shredded pepper jack or mexican blend cheese and sour cream, garnish with chopped cilantro. Salt and pepper to taste. Enjoy!

Steps:
- Heat vegetable oil in a pot over high heat until it's nearly smoking. Add pork shoulder cubes in a single layer. Let sear until brown on one side, 4 to 5 minutes. Mix and turn pieces over and brown on the other side, 4 to 5 minutes. Add onion, 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring until onions turn translucent, about 4 minutes. Add oregano, cumin, coriander, and cayenne. Stir and cook until seasonings get fragrant, about 2 minutes. Reduce heat to low.
- Remove paper husk from tomatillos and rinse. Cut into quarters. Place in blender with garlic, jalapeno pepper, poblano, cilantro, and chicken broth. Pulse on and off until pieces start to break down. Then blend until mixture has liquefied, about 30 seconds. Stir sauce into the meat mixture. Add 1 teaspoon salt and bay leaf. Increase heat to high and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low to maintain a slow but steady simmer for about 1 hour. Add potatoes, 1/2 teaspoon salt, black pepper. If mixture has reduced to where potatoes are not immersed, add more broth to cover. Simmer until meat and potatoes are tender, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
- Garnish individual servings with a dollop of sour cream, some pickled red onions (if desired), and cilantro leaves.
