Pork And Lager Chili 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.

PORK CHILI VERDE

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler and place the poblano chiles in a skillet or on a baking sheet. Broil the chiles for about 5 minutes per side. Immediately place the chiles in a paper sack or plastic food-storage bag, close it tightly, and let the chiles steam for 20 minutes. To peel the chiles, remove them from the bag and gently rub off the skins. Remove the seeds, dice them and set them aside.
• In a large soup pot or Dutch oven, heat 1 tablespoon of the bacon grease over medium-low heat. Lightly salt and pepper the pork and add to the pot, browning on each side, 2 to 5 minutes per side. You may have to do this in batches. Once browned, transfer the pork to a large bowl, pouring the pan juices into the bowl.
• Return the pot to the stove and heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of bacon grease over medium-low heat. Add the onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds more.
• Return the pork and its juices to the pot. Add the poblano chiles, jalapeno chiles, tomatillos, chicken broth, Mexican lager, cumin, oregano, allspice, cay enne, and 1/2 cup of the cilantro. Turn the heat to high and bring to a boil; then turn the heat down to low and gently simmer, uncovered, for 2 hours, stirring occasionally and skimming any fat from the surface.
• Taste and adjust the seasonings, adding salt and pepper to taste. Continue to cook, uncovered, until the pork is tender, anywhere from 30 to 60 minutes more. To thicken the chili, in a bowl mix together the masa harina with 2 table spoons of the chili liquid. Stir this back into the pot, along with the remaining 1/2 cup cilantro and the lime juice. Cook until the chili has thickened, 10 more minutes. Serve with sour cream and shredded Monterey Jack cheese.

PULLED PORK CHILI VERDE

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Cut off about 1/4 inch the top of the head of garlic to expose the cloves. Brush the cut cloves with a small amount of olive oil and nestle the head into a piece of aluminum foil; place on a baking sheet.
• Bake in preheated oven until cloves are tender and browned, about 45 minutes. Remove garlic from the oven and cool until easily handled, about 15 minutes. Squeeze out cloves and chop.
• Preheat the oven's broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Place tomatillos, green bell peppers, Anaheim chile peppers, jalapeno peppers, and sweet banana peppers, cut-sides down, onto the lined baking sheet.
• Cook under the preheated broiler until the skin of the tomatillos and peppers has blackened and blistered, 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Allow tomatillos and peppers to steam as they cool, about 10 minutes. Remove and discard skins.
• Transfer peeled tomatillos and peppers to a blender or food processor; blend into a smooth green sauce.
• Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onions and celery; cook and stir until onions are glistening, about 5 minutes. Add chopped roasted garlic, shredded pork, cilantro, oregano, coriander, cumin, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and black pepper. Pour in 1 cup chicken stock; bring to a simmer.
• Stir green sauce mixture into the pot. Add coconut milk. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer. Cook until chili thickens, about 30 minutes. Stir in chicken stock and continue cooking until chili reaches desired consistency, 30 to 90 minutes.

PORK CHILI VERDE (GREEN PORK CHILI)

Steps:

• Heat vegetable oil in a pot over high heat until it's nearly smoking. Add pork shoulder cubes in a single layer. Let sear until brown on one side, 4 to 5 minutes. Mix and turn pieces over and brown on the other side, 4 to 5 minutes. Add onion, 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring until onions turn translucent, about 4 minutes. Add oregano, cumin, coriander, and cayenne. Stir and cook until seasonings get fragrant, about 2 minutes. Reduce heat to low.
• Remove paper husk from tomatillos and rinse. Cut into quarters. Place in blender with garlic, jalapeno pepper, poblano, cilantro, and chicken broth. Pulse on and off until pieces start to break down. Then blend until mixture has liquefied, about 30 seconds. Stir sauce into the meat mixture. Add 1 teaspoon salt and bay leaf. Increase heat to high and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low to maintain a slow but steady simmer for about 1 hour. Add potatoes, 1/2 teaspoon salt, black pepper. If mixture has reduced to where potatoes are not immersed, add more broth to cover. Simmer until meat and potatoes are tender, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
• Garnish individual servings with a dollop of sour cream, some pickled red onions (if desired), and cilantro leaves.

PORK CHILE VERDE

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.

CHILE VERDE (CHICKEN OR PORK)

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients (except those for serving) and place in a crock pot.
• Cook on high for one hour and then switch to low for an additional 4-6 hours - time could be different depending on how hot your crock pot cooks. (This could easily be cooked on the stove as well).
• At this point I like to break the meat up with a large spoon so that it is more or less "shredded".
• Serve in a bowl with cilantro, yogurt or sour cream and tortillas on the side (and a spoon!).

PORK CHILI VERDE

Steps:

• Cut the pork into small chunks. You can use pork roast, pork loin, or Boston butt.
• Husk the tomatillos, de-stem them, and cut them into large chunks.
• Cut the jalapenos, Anaheim peppers, and Serrano peppers into large chunks.
• Put tomatillos and peppers and cilantro in a food processor, puree them all.
• Add the can of green chilis, diced tomatos, and tomato sauce to the food processor.
• Continue blending until the mixture is a consistent color.
• Add the chicken broth, oregano, cumin, and chili powder.
• Turn the crock-pot on high and cover.
• Dust the pork with flour, salt and pepper.
• Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil, shortening, or lard in a frying pan.
• Add the garlic and onions, sauté until the onions are tender.
• Add the pork, brown it thoroughly.
• Pour the entire pan's contents (including drippings) into the crock-pot.
• Cook in the crock-pot on high for 2 hours.
• After 2 hours, reduce the heat to medium or low and cook for at least another 2 hours. For very tender pork, cook on low heat for 8 or more hours.
• 30 minutes before serving, mix the cornstarch with 2 ounces of cold water, and add it to the crock-pot. Add more if you want to thicken it further.
• Serve over bean burritos. I used flour tortillas, with refried beans, chopped onions, and cheese wrapped inside. Bake the burritos in the oven at 400 for 15-20 minutes (until the tortilla just barely starts to dry out). Cover them with the chili verde and pork, then garnish (or further smother) with onions and cheese.
