Time 1h50m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 ½ pounds pork tenderloin, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
½ cup all-purpose flour, or as needed
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
¾ pound fresh tomatillos, husks removed and halved
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 medium onion, chopped
2 cups chicken broth
½ tablespoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon chopped fresh oregano
1 bay leaf
½ pound serrano chile peppers, seeded and chopped
½ pound green chile peppers, seeded and chopped
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped
⅛ cup chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
  • Dust pork cubes in flour and season with salt and pepper.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown pork in the hot oil, about 5 minutes. Set aside. Place tomatillos and garlic cloves into a baking pan.
  • Broil tomatillos and garlic in the preheated oven for 7 minutes. Turn off the broiler and let rest in the oven for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool enough to handle, about 10 minutes. Mince roasted garlic.
  • Heat remaining tablespoon oil in a pot over medium-high heat. Saute onion in the hot oil until softened, about 5 minutes. Add browned pork, chicken broth, minced garlic, cumin, oregano, and bay leaf; reduce heat to low and let simmer.
  • Mix roasted tomatillos, serrano peppers, green chile peppers, and jalapeno pepper together in a bowl. Add to the pot. Continue to simmer over low heat until pork is tender and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of a cube reads at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C), about 20 minutes. Stir in cilantro and remove bay leaf before serving.

I'm a vegetarian, so I used tofu instead of pork. It was still delicious!

This recipe is great for a crowd. I doubled the recipe and it fed 12 people with leftovers.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my stew turned out bland. I think I might have used too much water.

I made this stew in my slow cooker and it turned out perfect. The meat was so tender and the flavors had really melded together.

I added some corn and black beans to my stew and it was delicious! It's a great way to use up leftovers.

I was short on time, so I used pre-cooked pulled pork. It worked great and the stew was still delicious.

This recipe was a bit spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I think next time I'll use less chili peppers.

I'm not usually a fan of pork, but this recipe changed my mind. The pork was so tender and flavorful, and the tomatillos added a nice tang. I'll definitely be making this again.

I've tried many chile verde recipes over the years, but this one is by far the best. It's got the perfect balance of spice and flavor, and the pork is always fall-apart tender.
