Chorizo Benedict With Pork Green Chili Food

GREEN PORK CHILI

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• In a large bowl, toss the onions, tomatillos, jalapenos, and garlic with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and spread on a baking sheet. Roast until soft and starting to brown, about 20 to 30 minutes, stirring twice during roasting.
• Meanwhile, in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat, add the oil and heat. Brown the pork, in batches, until well-browned. When browned, add all of the pork back to the pan and cover with chicken stock. Add the roasted vegetables, cover the pan and place in the oven. Cook until the pork is very tender, about 1 1/2 hours.
• While pork is cooking, place the cilantro in a food processor. Add 2 tablespoons of water and puree. Remove the pork from the oven and stir in the cilantro puree. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Serve with warm flour tortillas.

PORK GREEN CHILI TOPPED HOT DOGS

Steps:

• Heat a Dutch oven over medium-high heat and coat the bottom 2 tablespoons oil. Once heated, add the pork and sprinkle with a couple healthy pinches salt. Lightly sear on all sides, 5 to 10 minutes, then remove from the pan.
• Add the onion and remaining 2 tablespoons oil to the pan. Let the onions sweat, scraping the bottom of the pan, and cook until softened, about 4 minutes.
• Add the garlic, oregano, cumin and flour. Let the spices and flour toast, about 1 minute, then slowly stir in the chicken stock, blending into the mixture so the flour doesn't clump.
• Add the green chiles, tomatoes and reserved pork. Bring to a simmer, then cook, uncovered and stirring occasionally, until the pork is tender and soft, about 1 hour. Taste and adjust the seasoning. (See Cook's Note.)
• Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium to medium-high heat.
• Grill the hot dogs and toast the buns on the grill. Serve 3 ounces chili on top of each hot dog. Garnish with a pinch Monterey Jack cheese and chopped cilantro.

BRAISED PORK GREEN CHILI

Steps:

• Over medium heat in a medium saucepan, heat the butter until melted. Then reduce the heat to low and slowly whisk in the flour to create a roux. Continue to cook until the butter has been absorbed into the flour and is a smooth consistency.
• Once the roux has cooked, return the mixture to medium-high heat. Add the stock and allow to simmer, whisking throughout the cooking process. Once simmered and thickened, 8 to 10 minutes, add the pork, chiles, spice and parsley. Allow this to cook for an additional 20 minutes, with reduced heat to medium-low. Finally, add the tomatoes and cook for a final 10 minutes. Taste and adjust spice to preference.

WHOLEHEARTED PORK GREEN CHILI

Steps:

• For the base mix: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Shuck and wash the tomatillos, then place on a large baking sheet with the garlic, jalapenos, limes and onion. Sprinkle the coriander, cumin and salt over the veggies, then pour the oil over all of it. Roast until browned, about 45 minutes. Remove the limes and squeeze the juice over the veggies, then pour the ingredients into a food processor. Add the cilantro and blend well. Set base aside.
• For the final dish: Brown the pork in just enough olive oil to coat the bottom of a large stockpot on medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until fully cooked. Add the base mix, beef broth, coriander, cumin and salt. Allow to come to a simmer, then add the lime juice. Garnish with sliced jalapeno, green onion and cilantro.
