EASY CHILI VERDE

Steps:

• Cut pork in 1/2 inch cubes and braise in preheated dutch oven. (no need to add oil). (if you are using onion add at this point and cook til translucent). Salt. And generous amounts of ground cumin, and a dash or two of chili powder Add all canned items - do not drain. Bring to a slow boil, then simmer, covered at least 1 hour (til pork is tender).
• To serve:.
• Make burritos.
• Good with refried rice, guacamole etc. Can be covered with queso, or verde sauce if desired. I usually cover mine with salsa, depending on what type we have on hand.
• PS: Best make one burrito and serve, then make one for the next person. If you make a platter full of burritos, they are apt to get soggy. Or you can put all ingredients on the table, and let everyone make their own.

EARNIE'S CHILI VERDE

Steps:

• Cut pork into 1/3 inch cubes. Combine flour, salt, pepper. Dredge pork in the flour and lightly brown the meat in vegetable oil or bacon grease. Transfer the meat into a dutch oven. Add the onion and garlic to the oil and saute until soft. Add to the meat. Add all the other ingredients to the dutch oven with a heavy lid. Cook on low for about 1 hr and 15 min or until meat is tender. Stir occasionally and keep on low to prevent burning.
