Rapido Pork Chile Verde Recipes

CHILE VERDE PORK

Steps:

• Season pork pieces on all sides with salt and pepper.
• Heat a large stock pot over high heat. Add oil. Once hot, sear the pork pieces until browned on all sides.
• Remove the pork from the pot. Add a little additional oil to pan, if needed.
• Add onion and saute until tender. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
• Stir in the cumin and oregano. Return pork to the pot and add the chicken broth.
• Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 2-4 hours.
• Meanwhile, make the sauce.
• Place rack on second to top level of oven and turn the oven to high broil.
• Lightly spray a jelly roll pan with cooking oil. Wash the poblano peppers, jalapeños and tomatillos.
• Slice the tomatillo and both types of peppers in half, and remove stems. Seed the peppers and remove the white veins inside if if you do not want the chile verde to be very spicy. (See my note below about spice level). Do not seed the tomatillos.
• Place the poblano peppers, jalapeño and tomatillos on baking sheets cut side down. Broil for about 7-10 minutes or until browned.
• Immediately place peppers in a plastic bag and tie the bag. Allow them to steam for 5 minutes, and then peel off their outer layer of skin. (It should come off easily)
• Add the peppers, tomatillos and cilantro to a blender and puree.
• Add mixture to the pot with the pork and cook everything together for an additional 30 to 45 minutes.
• Serve with tortillas, and a side of Mexican rice and beans.

ULTIMATE PORK CHILE VERDE

Steps:

• You can cook your roast however you like, I always use my crock pot. Slice 1 large onion in rings, put on bottom of pot, add roast then 3/4 c water mixed with 2 Tbs reduced sodium soy sauce, cut small slits on top of roast and fill with 1 clove minced garlic. Cook on low 6-7 hours. If not fully cooked don't worry it will cook through when simmered later on.
• Bring chicken broth in a large stock pot to a boil add tomatillos and boil until they just start to soften and skins start splitting open.
• Leaving broth in pot take out tomatillos and put in a blender or food processor along with chopped cilantro leaves, puree. Set aside.
• Meanwhile arrange poblano, yellow and jalapeno peppers on a large greased sheet pan, put under broiler in oven until they start getting dark, soft and bubbly, turn and repeat on other side until done.
• Seed and chop poblano and yellow peppers, seed and dice jalapenos, leave one jalapeno with seeds (if you like it really spicy adjust jalapenos to your taste).
• In a frying pan add veg oil, cook chopped onion and garlic. Season with sea salt and a little pepper, cook until onions are tender. Add cumin.
• Add onion mix to chicken stock
• Stir in pork, you may not need to use the full 5-6 lbs. Some roasts have more meat than others. I have used the full roast before and half a roast that produced the same amount of meat. Add half and go from there.
• Add peppers and tomatillo/cilantro puree.
• Simmer for 3-4 hrs to thicken. If chile verde sauce is not thick enough add a little instant mashed potatoes until desired thickness is reached.
• On a flour tortilla add shredded cheese and a spoonful of chile verde, roll and smother top with more chile verde and lots of cheese.
• Put under broiler in oven to melt cheese and serve!
• *I usually make the day before and put in fridge (it tastes better the second day) then just heat, put on tortillas and serve!*.

RAPIDO PORK CHILE VERDE

Steps:

• Sprinkle the pork with salt and pepper. Add the pork to a large pressure cooker over high heat and cook until browned on all sides, about 8 minutes. Remove the pork and add the Anaheim and poblano peppers, onions and garlic. Saute until translucent, and then return the pork back to the pot. Mix thoroughly, and then deglaze with the chicken stock, white wine and vinegar. Reduce for 5 minutes, and then add the water, cumin, oregano, bay leaf, 1 tablespoon salt and 1 tablespoon pepper.
• Grill the husked tomatillos over an open flame (or under a broiler) until lightly charred all over - this will give the finished chile a rich, smoky flavor. Set aside to cool, and then roughly chop and add to the pressure cooker. Tear up the hydrated pasilla chiles and add to the pressure cooker, along with the water used to rehydrate them.
• Place a lid on the pressure cooker and cook for 30 minutes. When done, release the pressure, remove the lid and thicken the mixture by whisking in the masa harina. Finish with a squeeze of fresh lime juice. Serve in bowls and garnish with fresh cilantro, crispy tortilla strips and cotija cheese.
