Chile Verde Pork Food

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.

ULTIMATE PORK CHILE VERDE

Steps:

• You can cook your roast however you like, I always use my crock pot. Slice 1 large onion in rings, put on bottom of pot, add roast then 3/4 c water mixed with 2 Tbs reduced sodium soy sauce, cut small slits on top of roast and fill with 1 clove minced garlic. Cook on low 6-7 hours. If not fully cooked don't worry it will cook through when simmered later on.
• Bring chicken broth in a large stock pot to a boil add tomatillos and boil until they just start to soften and skins start splitting open.
• Leaving broth in pot take out tomatillos and put in a blender or food processor along with chopped cilantro leaves, puree. Set aside.
• Meanwhile arrange poblano, yellow and jalapeno peppers on a large greased sheet pan, put under broiler in oven until they start getting dark, soft and bubbly, turn and repeat on other side until done.
• Seed and chop poblano and yellow peppers, seed and dice jalapenos, leave one jalapeno with seeds (if you like it really spicy adjust jalapenos to your taste).
• In a frying pan add veg oil, cook chopped onion and garlic. Season with sea salt and a little pepper, cook until onions are tender. Add cumin.
• Add onion mix to chicken stock
• Stir in pork, you may not need to use the full 5-6 lbs. Some roasts have more meat than others. I have used the full roast before and half a roast that produced the same amount of meat. Add half and go from there.
• Add peppers and tomatillo/cilantro puree.
• Simmer for 3-4 hrs to thicken. If chile verde sauce is not thick enough add a little instant mashed potatoes until desired thickness is reached.
• On a flour tortilla add shredded cheese and a spoonful of chile verde, roll and smother top with more chile verde and lots of cheese.
• Put under broiler in oven to melt cheese and serve!
• *I usually make the day before and put in fridge (it tastes better the second day) then just heat, put on tortillas and serve!*.

PORK AND LAGER CHILI VERDE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Cut the pork into 1-inch cubes and place in a large bowl. Combine the coriander, paprika, cumin and 2 tablespoons salt in a small bowl. Coat the pork with the dry rub.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large Dutch oven. Working in batches, add the pork and cook until browned on all sides, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl. Saute the onion and garlic in the oil until softened, 6 to 8 minutes, being careful not to burn the garlic. Add the pork back to the pot. Stir in the dried chiles de arbol and cover with the Mexican lager. Bring to a boil and reduce to a rolling simmer. Cook until all the liquid evaporates, about 1 hour 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, toss the tomatillos, Anaheim peppers and poblano peppers with the remaining 2 tablespoons oil and 1 tablespoon salt on a baking sheet. Roast in the oven, turning once halfway through, until the tomatillos have browned and the peppers are charred, about 30 minutes. Let cool, about 25 minutes.
• When cool enough to handle, place the tomatillos in a blender. Remove the skin and stems from the peppers (keeping the seeds intact) and add them to the blender with the tomatillos. Add the cilantro, lime juice and 2 teaspoons salt. Blend until completely smooth. Hold the sauce at room temperature until the pork finishes cooking.
• When the liquid from the Dutch oven has reduced completely, check the pork to make sure it is tender but still holds its shape. Remove and discard the chiles de arbol. Top the pork with the tomatillo sauce and cook over medium heat just until it begins to simmer, about 10 minutes.
• Serve the chili verde with roasted pepitas, tortilla chips, Pickled Red Onions and Fresno Chiles, crema and cilantro leaves.
• Combine the vinegar, lime juice, orange juice, sugar and 2 teaspoons salt in a small saucepan. Place over medium-high heat and bring to a simmer.
• Pour the hot mixture over the Fresno chiles and onions in a heat-proof bowl and allow to cool at least 10 minutes before serving, or allow to cool completely and refrigerate until ready to use.

AUTHENTIC MEXICAN PORK CHILE VERDE

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to 500 degrees. In a small bowl mix the salt, chili powder, oregano, granulated garlic, and cumin. Coat the pork on all sides with the rub, massaging the spices into the meat. Let the pork sit at room temperature for 20 to 30 before browning.
• In a food processor or blender, purée the tomatillos, canned chiles, garlic, onion, oregano, and beer.
• Brown the roast on a roasting pan for 30 minutes in the oven.
• Remove the pork from the oven and reduce temperature to 250 degrees. Place the pork in a 13x9-inch heavy-duty disposable drip pan. Pour the tomatillo mixture around the pork so it comes up the sides of the pork by 1 inch or so. Seal the pan tightly with foil, and place the pan in the center of the oven. Cook the pork until the internal temperature of the meat reaches 190°F and the meat is so tender that it tears easily with a fork, 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 hours.
• When the pork is fully cooked, carefully remove the pan from the oven. Unwrap the pork (be careful of the steam) and transfer it to a cutting board. Chop the pork into 1/2-inch chunks and shreds, discarding any large pieces of fat or tough pieces of meat. Pour the pan liquid into a large saucepan and spoon off most of the surface fat. Add the shredded meat and simmer the mixture uncovered for a few minutes to blend the flavors. Season with the cilantro, Tabasco, as well as salt and pepper to taste. The chile verde may be made up to this point 1 day ahead of serving and refrigerated overnight. Warm the chile verde over a slow simmer before serving.
• Serve the chile verde warm in bowls with steamed rice. Pass the sour cream, limes wedges, and a bottle of Tabasco.

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!).
