Pork Chili Verde (Green Pork Chili) image

This chili verde was one of the first recipes I ever learned. It comes out great even if you don't brown the meat, but I think doing so always adds extra flavor so I usually do it.

Time 2h25m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 20

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 pounds boneless pork shoulder, cut into 2-inch pieces
1 yellow onion, diced
2 teaspoons kosher salt, or to taste, divided
2 teaspoons dried oregano
2 teaspoons ground cumin
½ teaspoon ground coriander
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
10 fresh tomatillos
3 jalapeno chile peppers, seeded
1 poblano chile pepper, seeded
6 cloves peeled garlic
½ cup packed cilantro leaves
1 bay leaf
2 ½ cups chicken stock, or as needed
1 ½ pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, quartered
freshly ground black pepper
¼ cup sour cream
pickled red onions (optional)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro

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.

GREEN HELL CHILI VERDE WITH WHITE BEANS AND PORK



Green Hell Chili Verde With White Beans and Pork image

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).

Provided by E. J. Hilden

Categories     Pork

Time 3h20m

Yield 8-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

3 lbs tomatillos
2 bunches fresh green onions
3 large yellow onions
6 large fresh jalapeno peppers, split and seeded
15 -20 fresh garlic cloves
1 cup chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons oil
1/4-1/3 cup fine cornflour or 1/4-1/3 cup wheat flour
1 flexible measure cold water (as needed)
4 (15 ounce) cans great northern beans (up to 6 cans) or 4 (15 ounce) cans navy beans (up to 6 cans)
4 cups ham stock
4 lbs trimmed fresh boneless pork chops
2 teaspoons white pepper
3 teaspoons ground black pepper
1 tablespoon ground cumin
sour cream
shredded monterey jack pepper cheese (or both) or cheddar cheese (or both)
salt

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!

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Cut of Pork: Opt for a fatty cut like pork shoulder or butt, as it will become tender and flavorful during the cooking process.
  • Use Fresh Green Chiles: Fresh green chiles add a vibrant flavor to the dish, but you can adjust the amount based on your preferred spice level.
  • Roast the Green Chiles: Roasting the green chiles enhances their flavor and adds a smoky note to the dish.
  • Sauté the Aromatics: Sautéing onions, garlic, and cumin in oil releases their flavors and forms the base of the sauce.
  • Simmer the Pork: Simmering the pork in the flavorful sauce allows it to absorb all the delicious flavors and become fall-apart tender.
  • Add the Roasted Green Chiles: Once the pork is tender, stir in the roasted green chiles and cilantro for a burst of freshness and heat.
  • Serve with Desired Accompaniments: Green chili verde can be served with various accompaniments like tortillas, rice, beans, or your favorite sides.

Conclusion:

Green chili verde is a delightful dish that combines the richness of pork with the vibrancy of green chiles. By following these tips, you can create a flavorful and authentic green chili verde that will impress your family and friends. Whether you enjoy it with tortillas, rice, or beans, this dish is sure to become a favorite in your culinary repertoire. Don't forget to adjust the spice level to your preference and garnish with fresh cilantro for a finishing touch. So, gather your ingredients, put on your apron, and embark on a culinary journey to savor the deliciousness of green chili verde!
