Pressure Cooker Chili Verde Recipes

PRESSURE COOKER CHILI VERDE

Steps:

• Roast the Anaheim peppers over an open flame on your gas stove, use tongs to turn them so that they blacken all over. If you do not have a gas stove you can broil them in a similar way.
• Put the blackened peppers in a bowl with cling wrap over the bowl and the steam will help the skin to slide off after a few minutes.
• Once you have peeled the peppers, remove the seeds and stem and add them to your food processor or blender.
• Remove the outer husk from the tomatillos and wash and halve them.
• Add the halved tomatillos, onion slices, and garlic into a large bowl and toss with about a tablespoon of olive oil, then place on a baking sheet and broil for about 10 minutes or until they get a little toasted on top.
• Add the tomatillos, onions, and garlic, into your food processor with the chopped Anaheim peppers and blend to make the sauce.
• Cut the country style ribs into large cubes.
• Turn on the saute function in your Instant Pot or pressure cooker and add the oil, then brown the pork in batches.
• Add all the pork back to the pressure cooker and add the salt, pepper, and Ancho chili powder and stir. Pour over the chicken broth, then the chili verde sauce, stir and put the lid on.
• Lock the lid, turn the steam release vent to 'sealing' and using the 'manual' or 'pressure cook' button, adjust it to cook for 20 minutes at High Pressure, then let the pressure release naturally for about 10 minutes or more.
• The Chili Verde may have a lot of liquid when you first open the lid, I like to simmer it using the saute button to reduce and thicken up the sauce which gives a nice rich flavor to the finished dish.

PRESSURE COOKER CHILI VERDE (GREEN PORK CHILI)

Steps:

• Spread the tomatillos, anaheim chiles, and jalapeno peppers skin side up on a rimmed baking sheet. Put the baking sheet 6 inches below a broiler set to high, and broil until the tomatillos and peppers are blackened in spots, about 5 minutes. Flip the tomatillos and broil until the tomatillos are browned on the other side and the skins of the peppers are blackened all over, about another five minutes. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the peppers cool for a few minutes, then peel the blackened skin from the peppers and discard. (A little leftover blackened skin is fine.) Pour the contents of the baking sheet into a blender or food processor, including as much of the liquid as possible. Add the cilantro and the teaspoon of Kosher salt, then blend until smooth, about 30 seconds.
• Mix the canned diced chiles and tomatillo salsa in a medium bowl.
• Sprinkle the pork with the 2 teaspoons kosher salt. Heat the oil in the pressure cooker pot over medium-high heat until shimmering. (Saute mode in an electric PC). Brown the pork in two to three batches - put pork cubes in the pot without crowding, and brown each batch of pork on one side, about 4 minutes. Transfer the pork to a bowl with a slotted spoon, leaving as much fat behind as possible.
• There will be extra fat in the pot from the pork; pour out the fat to get down to 1 tablespoon. Add the onions to the pot and sprinkle with ½ teaspoon of kosher salt. Saute the onions until softened and starting to brown around the edges, about 5 minutes, scraping often to release any browned pork bits from the bottom of the pot. Make a hole in the middle of the onions and add the garlic, cumin, coriander, and oregano. Cook until you smell the garlic and spices, about one minute, then stir into the onions.
• Stir the chicken stock, salsa verde, pork, and any pork juices in the bowl into the pot. Lock the lid and cook at high pressure for 30 minutes in an Instant Pot or other electric PC, or for 25 minutes in a stovetop PC. Let the pressure come down naturally, about 20 minutes.
• Stir in the lime juice. Taste and add more salt and pepper if it needs it. (Homemade salsa verde will need more salt; the quick version from cans probably does not - canned ingredients already have a lot of salt. Go by taste; If the chili tastes flat, it needs more salt.) Serve.

SLOW COOKER CHILE VERDE

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic; cook and stir until fragrant. Add the cubed pork, and cook until browned on the outside. Transfer the pork, onions, and garlic to a slow cooker, and stir in the green salsa, jalapeno peppers, and tomatoes.
• Cover, and cook on High for 3 hours. Reduce the setting to Low, and cook for 4 to 5 more hours.

PRESSURE COOKER SALSA VERDE CHICKEN

Steps:

• Add the chicken, salsa verde, canned chiles, chopped garlic, jalapeño, garlic powder, onion powder and cumin to a 6- to 8-quart electric pressure cooker; stir to combine. (Don't add salt yet, as many jarred salsas are high in sodium.) Close the lid and turn the pressure knob to sealed. Cook on high pressure for 8 minutes.
• Turn off the pressure cooker and allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes, then release the remaining pressure manually. Open the lid. If you would like to reduce the sauce, remove the chicken with a slotted spoon to a bowl and turn on the simmer function; let the sauce bubble for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, to thicken. Add the chicken back into the pot if you have removed it. Use two forks to coarsely shred the chicken. Stir in the scallions and cilantro. Taste, and season with salt and lime juice.
• Serve in bowls, alone or with rice, or in tortillas, with desired toppings.
