CHILE VERDE WITH TEQUILA PORK TENDERLOIN
I love to make different varieties of chili and I typically do it the long and hard way. This recipe is made with a leaner cut of pork and it is quick as you don't need to wait all day to make the shredded pork butt. My favorite part is the fresh cilantro and scallions on top...it makes this comfort food still feel very fresh with garden ingredients.

Steps:
- Heat Oil in a large skillet with deep edges or a soup pot over medium high heat.
- Mix cornmeal, chili powder, cumin, some salt and pepper in a bowl. Roll in pork to coat. Shake off any excess and reserve the corn meal mixture.
- Toss pork into pan and saute for about 5-6 minutes until browned on all sides. Remove from pan.
- Add white onions to the pan -- season with a sprinkle of salt and pepper -- and cook for about 3-4 minutes until softened. Add peppers and garlic. Reduce heat to medium and cook for 1-2 minutes.
- Add tomatillos, green chilis, and chicken stock. Add another sprinkle of salt and pepper if desired - I like to continually layer the seasoning. Increase heat to medium high and bring to a boil. Add reserved cornmeal mixture, and stir vigorously to avoid lumps. Reduce heat back to medium.
- Add tequila and Pork to the pan and cook at medium for 3-5 minutes or until mixture is heated through, thickened, and flavors incorporated.
- Serve in bowls with the fresh scallions and cilantro sprinkled on top.
- Enjoy.
TEQUILA PORK CHILE VERDE
This recipe appeared in the October 2007 issue of Cooking Light. I haven't tried it yet -- but hope to real soon. (Fresh tomatillos come in papery husks, which peel off easily to reveal what looks like small green tomatoes. They have a tart lemony flavor and must be cooked before eating. A brief stewing will mellow the flavor but leave some of the characteristic tang.)

Tips:
- Choose a high-quality tequila for the marinade. A good-quality tequila will add a lot of flavor to the pork.
- Be sure to marinate the pork for at least 4 hours, or overnight. This will allow the flavors of the marinade to penetrate the pork and make it more flavorful.
- When cooking the pork, be sure to use a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven. This will help to evenly distribute the heat and prevent the pork from sticking to the pan.
- Cook the pork over medium-low heat. This will help to prevent the pork from overcooking and becoming dry.
- Once the pork is cooked, be sure to let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
Conclusion:
Tequila pork chili verde is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a party. The pork is tender and flavorful, and the sauce is rich and savory. This dish is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
