CHILE VERDE (LA FRONTERA STYLE)

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 consistant color. Pour the vegetable puree into a crock-pot. 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 Tbsp. 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.

CHILE VERDE

Steps:

• Peel and crush the roasted Anaheim chiles; set aside.
• Remove the fat from the pork shoulder and cut the fat into small pieces. In a large pan over medium-high heat, fry the fat until crisp, 4 or 5 minutes, and then remove the chunks of fat from the pan.
• Sweat the onions and garlic in the same saute pan, cooking them in the residual pork fat. Cut the pork shoulder into 1/4-inch pieces and add them to the pan and saute until browned. Add the bay leaves, oregano, tomatoes, and Anaheim chiles. Simmer over low heat for about 25 minutes. Add the water, chicken base, and salt, to taste. Bring to a boil and then cover and simmer for 2 hours or until tender.
• Slowly add the flour in small amounts, until the mixture has reached your desired thickness; do not exceed 1/4 cup flour. If desired, return the crispy fat to the mixture to add additional pork flavor. Serve in bowls and garnish with fresh cilantro leaves.

V'S CHILE VERDE

Steps:

• Mix all seasonings together in small bowl (except Salsa Verde).

• Rub meat with seasoning, place in crock pot, (for best results, I rub meat with seasoning the night before, let it sit in refrig to marinate).
• Cover and set on 6-8 hours. (Usually cooked within 6 hours).
• one hour before serving, drain pork drippings out leaving about 1/2 cup with meat. Pour Salsa Verde on top and stir to break up meat. Continue to cook. Just before serving I add a cornstarch slurry to thicken it up. (1 tblsp cornstarch, 1 tbls water).
• Serve with Spanish rice (Recipe #282467)and beans and enjoy!
