The Best Green Chile Pork Ever Recipes

MILE HIGH GREEN CHILI

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Arrange the halved tomatillos, Anaheim chiles, jalapenos, onion, and green bell pepper on a baking sheet. Drizzle the vegetables with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
• Roast the vegetables in the preheated oven until they begin to show brown spots, about 30 minutes. Allow to cool, then chop vegetables into bite-size pieces.
• Heat 1 more tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over high heat, and pan-fry the pork until browned, sprinkling the meat with salt and black pepper as it cooks, about 12 minutes. Transfer the pork cubes to a slow cooker, and stir in the roasted vegetables. Mix in the tomatoes, garlic, beef bouillon cube, beer, oregano, parsley, cumin, and chili powder. Set the cooker on Low, cover, and cook until the pork is very tender, 4 to 6 hours.
• About 1/2 hour before serving, place the cream cheese into a bowl, and stir in about 1 tablespoon of the chili liquid until thoroughly combined. Continue stirring in chili broth, a tablespoon at a time, until the cream cheese is almost a liquid. Stir the cream cheese mixture back into the chili.

COLORADO GREEN CHILI (CHILE VERDE)

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a Dutch oven or large pot over medium-high heat. Season the pork with salt and pepper to taste, then place into the hot oil. Cook until golden brown on all sides, about 7 minutes. Once browned, remove the pork and set aside. Reduce heat to medium, and stir in the onion and garlic. Cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes.
• Return the pork to the pot, and stir in the green chiles, diced tomatoes with juice, tomatillo salsa, and chicken broth. Season with oregano and clove. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer 20 minutes.
• After 20 minutes, remove 2 cups of the soup (ensure there are no pork cubes in it), and pour into a blender. Hold down the lid of the blender with a folded kitchen towel, and carefully start the blender, using a few quick pulses to get the soup moving before leaving it on to puree. Puree until smooth, then pour back into the cooking pot. This will create a thicker texture for your chili and will eliminate some of the chunky bits of chiles. Continue to simmer, stirring occasionally until the pork is very tender, at least 35 minutes more.

THE BEST GREEN CHILE SAUCE

Serve with tortillas, smothered burritos, green chili french fries, etc...

THE BEST GREEN CHILE PORK... EVER

Steps:

• 1. You can cut the meat into 1 inch cubes before seasoning/cooking. Then it's already bite sized. OR if you want it to be more like a braised chunk of meat, you can leave the pieces bigger. The rub: combine all ingredients in a bowl and toss with fingers. Then rub generously all over the meat and let sit in the fridge for the night. You can do it just before cooking if you don't have time to wait all night too, it just tastes better if it can get absorbed.
• 2. The next morning, brown the meat in a medium high pan (a big one) for about 3-5 minutes per side in batches until you can no longer see pink anywhere on the outside. Put all meat in a large bowl to the side.
• 3. Then to a stock pot, melt 2 Tbsp of butter and drop in chopped onions and all of the tomatillo salsa, tomatoes and green chiles. Once it's bubbly, add in the seasonings/spices and mix.
• 4. After it all gets nice and hot and bubbly again, add the meat to the stock pot and let it come back up to medium heat. Cover and reduce heat to medium/low.
• 5. Let it sit covered for about 1.5 hours, then stir and taste the chili seasonings, add more of any seasoning if you like. Then chop (very very small) the serrano peppers and drop them in. Let it cook covered for another hour, stirring once or twice after 45 minutes.
• 6. After this it should be so tender that a fork makes each bite-sized piece fall apart. If not, cover and let it cook for another 20 -30minutes. If it's done, add most of the cilantro. Then if you want, garnish with more cilantro and you can serve it!
• 7. I serve this over refried beans (mixed with a large scoop of the chili or salsa) with large warm flour tortillas on the side. This makes great leftovers if you have any ;)

PORK CHILE VERDE

Steps:

• Season the pork meat generously with salt and pepper, lightly flour. Heat oil in a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium high heat and brown pork chunks well in small batches, on all sides. Lift pork out of pan and place in a wide soup pot. Discard fat and place the onions and peppers in the same skillet and sweat over moderate heat, stirring occasionally until limp, about 5 minutes. Add all of the chiles and cook an additional 3-4 minutes, then add the garlic and cook 1-2 minutes more.
• Add the Sauteed vegetables, chopped tomatillos, dried herbs and cilantro to the meat, cover with the chicken stock and bring up to a boil and reduce to a slight simmer. Cook for 2-3 hours uncovered or until the pork is fork tender.
• Adjust the seasoning to taste with salt and pepper. Serve with red rice for a delightful contrast.

GREEN PORK CHILI
