Chili Verde (Green Chile) image

This recipe is from La Bola Restaurant, Denver, CO. It is published in the Colorado Cache Cookbook from 1981. Don't eat dry burritos! This "gravy" is wonderful to smother burritos, rellenos, or just dip tortillas or chips into. I have been making this recipe since 1981.

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 1/2 lb pork roast (fresh shoulder preferred)
1 lb pork soup bones
44 oz canned tomatoes (28 oz-can and 16 oz-cans)
23 oz tomato sauce (15-oz and 8-oz cans)
1 Tbsp garlic powder
28 oz hot water (3 1/2 cups)
21 oz diced green chili strips (3.7-oz cans) or fresh green chilis if you can get them
3/4-1 oz jalapeno peppers (ortega brand) or (fresh if you like)
1 Tbsp sugar
1 1/2 Tbsp salt

Steps:

  • 1. Cut pork into 1/2 inch squares and with the pork bones fry over low heat until brown and the meat is slightly dry. If pork is very fat, pour off all but 4 or 5 Tbsp. of the grease.
  • 2. Using a colander, strain tomatoes into an 8-quart saucepan and coursely chop tomatoes. Combine tomatoes, tomato sauce, garlic, hot water and cooked pork and bones in the same saucepan. Bring to rapid boil and continue boiling for 20 minutes. Add spices, chopped jalapenos and chopped chili strips. Continue boiling another 20 minutes.
  • 3. Finish by cooking on medium heat until desired thickness, usually about another 20 minutes. Remove bones and green chili is ready to serve.
  • 4. NOTE: May be kept refrigerated for a week or frozen for 3 months. Use to cover burritos, chili rellenos and most anything. Melt an equal amount of grated sharp Cheddar cheese and green chili for a chili con queso dip.

This recipe was a disappointment. The pork was tough and the sauce was bland. I followed the recipe exactly, but it just didn't turn out well. I won't be making this again.

This chili verde was so easy to make and it turned out so good! The pork was tender and juicy, and the sauce was flavorful and had just the right amount of heat. I served it with rice and beans, and it was a delicious and satisfying meal. I will defi

I've been making this chili verde recipe for years and it's always a hit! The pork is so tender and flavorful, and the green chiles give it just the right amount of heat. I like to serve it with rice and beans, and a dollop of sour cream. It's a deli
