Chile Verde Sauce With Pork Chile Verde Con Cerdo Food

PORK CHILE VERDE

Steps:

• Season the pork meat generously with salt and pepper, lightly flour. Heat oil in a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium high heat and brown pork chunks well in small batches, on all sides. 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 CON CERDO (GREEN CHILI WITH PORK)

Steps:

• Simmer roast in a large pan until meat is tender and removes from the bone easily. (You can also use diced pork, or pork cube steaks (cut to bite size pieces), browned in the pot with the onion and garlic before adding the rest of the ingredients).
• Cool meat enough to handle.
• Cube cooked pork into bite size pieces.
• Process 1/2 of the green chilies and tomatillos until smooth.
• In the same large pan, melt the lard or bacon grease (or heat oil).

• Stir flour into the onion, garlic and fat until flour absorbs the oil or fat.
• Add broth or water.
• Cook and stir until mixture comes to boil and is slightly thickened.
• Add cubed meat, drained tomatoes (if desired), chopped tomatillos, chopped green chilies, processed tomatillos and chilies, and jalapeños (if desired; I recommend tasting first).
• Add the spices a little at a time until you get the taste you like, bringing to a simmer before each addition.
• Simmer for at least 1 hour (longer if you can afford the time), stirring occasionally to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
• If you want more of a stew type chili, add cubed potatoes 20 minutes before serving; serve with warm tortillas.
• Serve over burritos and garnish with cheese, lettuce, tomatoes and sour cream.
• Leave pork out for a vegetarian green chili sauce.

CHILE VERDE SAUCE WITH PORK/ CHILE VERDE CON CERDO

Steps:

• Start by cutting your pork loin into 1/2 inch bite sized pieces. Nest season the pork meat with salt, pepper, cumin powder, oregano, garlic powder, and the oil. Put into a large freezer bag squeeze out as much air as possible and seal. Then mush bag real well making sure to mix the meat real good with the seasonings. Put into the fridge overnight for the best flavor. If you are pressed for time leave like this for at least two hours.
• Next day remove papery husk from your tomatillos rinse under cool water removing the outer residue, cut them in half. Slice the onion in quarters, leave your poblanos whole just rinse first. Slice your jalapenos in half lengthwise remove seeds and membranes. Peel the garlic cloves. Next rub a little oil on a large cookie sheet or large baking pan put tomatillos cut side down place the onions alongside on the sheet pan. Place both the poblanos on the sheet and the cloves of garlic. Place the jalapenos cut side down as well. Place pan under the broiler and char everthing lightly about 5 minutes. When the tomatillos, and the onions start to brown lightly turn the onions only. You can remove the tomatillos as soon as the turn a little brown you do not want the tomatillos to turn real black, just a light char do the same with the garlic brown evenly on all sides do the same with the onion. Turn your jalapenos over so the inside will brown a little too. You will remove all the veggies except the poblanos as soon as the veggies turn a little brown. Keep turning the poblanos until they char black on all sides. Remove them when all charred and place in a freezer bag and seal for about 15 minutes. After 15 minutes have passed remove poblano peppers one at a time and rub so thet the charred skin comes off. Do both poblanos this way. Then remove the core and the seeds. Next place all the roasted veggies in the blender and blend along with a the fresh cilantro, and a little more salt, pepper, garlic powder, cumin powder, and the sugar. Start the blender on pulse to get started then go to blend making sure all the ingredients get well blended. You might have to do this in a few batches until all your veggies are well blended. Now set this all aside and go back to your pork meat.
• Take out the pork from the refrigerator. In a deep heavy pot add 1/2 cup oil and heat until hot start to sear your pork meat in batches make sure your sear on all sides then remove to a different pan as you finish searing the rest of the meat. When done add a little more oil wait until it heats up and add your blended veggies to the hot pan, stir real good cook for about two minutes and add the chicken broth and mix real well. Taste the sauce to see if you have it seasoned well enough. Next add the meat back into the pot; cover lower the heat to slow simmer and cook for two hours.
• After the meat has cooked for two hours take 1/4 cup cool water and add four or five tablespoons of corn starch. Make a slurry mixing well the corn starch in the water until all is disolved. Mix the slurry into the hot broth, Keep stirring until the broth has thickend and cooked for about 5 or 6 minutes. Remove from heat and serve along side my Mexican rice and refried beans. Recipes are posted. Don't forget to serve the warm tortillas with this recipe. My kids love to put a a few spoonfuls of chile verde pork meat with rice in a tortilla and roll it up and eat as a taco. either way they are delicious. To make the chile verde sauce hotter just add more jalapenos. In the recipe I only show one jalapeno some people do not like to much heat in their chile verde sauce. If you are using beef cubes sear add the sauce and slow cook for three hours. If using chicken brown chicken add the sauce and cook for about one hour and 15 minutes. Enjoy

CARNE DE CERDO Y CHILE VERDE

Steps:

• In a large skillet or stew type pot with lid, Heat oil/fat on medium heat till hot. Add cubed pork meat. Sprinkle in seasonings, except salt, (save the salt for when the dish is completely done). sear pork in pan till carmel brown on all sides. Then add the Peppers, Onions, tomitillos, and a little water to help cook it all down. Cook covered on medium to low heat until meat is tender. Add water as needed till all the items in the dish cook down to a fine green sauce and the meat is tender. Then cook the sauce uncovered till it is somewhat thickened. This takes about 45 minutes to an hour. Serve with Tortillas, & beans. To make this dish after a hard day of work, I found it easier to cut up the Tomitillos, Onions and Peppers , Cilantro and put in a zip lock back ahead of time and freeze. I do the same by cubing the pork in advance and freezing it. NOTE: This dish is on the HOT side, to make in milder, you can delete or substitute the serano peppers with jalapenos.
