POZOLE VERDE RECIPE

Steps:

• Place hominy into a large pot. Add chicken, garlic, onion, and salt. Cover with water.
• Cook for 1 hour. Remove onion and garlic from the pot and discard. Remove chicken and set aside.
• Place tomatillo salsa in a blender. Add onion, serrano chili, roasted poblano, cilantro, radish leaves, pepitas, and garlic.
• Pour 2 cups of water and blend until you'll have a smooth sauce.
• Add the green sauce to the pot with hominy and allow to simmer for 20 minutes. Adjust with salt and turn off the heat.
• Shred the chicken and place it in a bowl (read note 2).

PAN-ROASTED VEAL WITH SALSA VERDE

Steps:

• Mince garlic with anchovies. If veal is encased in a net, remove net and with kitchen string tie veal crosswise at 1-inch intervals.
• Pat veal dry. In a heavy kettle just large enough to hold veal heat oil over moderate heat until hot but not smoking and brown veal well, turning it. Transfer veal to a plate. In oil remaining in kettle cook anchovy mixture, stirring, 1 minute. Add wine and boil 1 minute.
• Return veal to kettle and simmer, partly covered, turning veal every 20 minutes and adding water as needed (about 3 tablespoons at a time; do not let liquid completely evaporate‑there should always be just enough to keep veal from sticking to kettle), 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted in thickest part registers 155° F. for medium.
• Transfer veal to a cutting board and let stand 10 minutes. Skim any fat from liquid in kettle. Add 1/3 cup water and simmer, scraping up brown bits from bottom and side of kettle, until liquid has consistency of thin gravy.
• Transfer pan juices to a platter. Cut veal crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick slices and discard string. Arrange slices over pan juices and spoon salsa verde over meat.
