Tequila Pork Chile Verde image

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.)

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

I was a bit hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of tequila. But I'm glad I did because it was delicious! The tequila flavor was subtle and it really complemented the other flavors in the dish.
