Instant Pot Pork Chile Verde Pressure Cooker Food

INSTANT POT PORK CHILI VERDE

Steps:

• Season your chunked meat with a desired amount of kosher salt and black pepper.
• Add oil to your Instant Pot and press the saute button.
• When the oil is hot add the pork in batches and brown. Add your brown meat to a plate and add more oil between batches if necessary.
• After all your pork is browned add in the onion and saute for about 5 minutes just to help soften the onions. Turn the Instant Pot off.
• Let the pork and onions hang out while you make the puree for your soup. The Instant Pot will be off so the onions should be ok and not brown much.
• In the jar of a blender add tomatillos, green chilies with liquid, cilantro, garlic cloves, jalapeños, oregano, cumin and the chicken stock.
• Puree on high until the mixture is smooth.
• Add the pork back to the Instant Pot and pour the soup puree over the pork. Stir to combine.
• Secure the lid, make sure the nozzle is placed to "seal" and cook on the high manual setting for 50 minutes. The Instant Pot will take about 10 minutes to reach pressure.
• When the cooking time is over manually release the pressure and remove the lid when unlocked.
• Stir to combine and remove about 1/2 of the meat.
• Shred and add back ot the pot and stir.
• Stir in the white beans.
• If the soup is thinner than you like you can put the Instant Pot on saute and cook down until your desired consistency is met.
• To serve, top with a desired amount of fresh cilantro, corn chips and Cotija cheese.

MEXICAN PORK STEW

Steps:

• Heat a small saucepan and roast cumin seeds lightly until just toasty-looking, and then spread out onto a paper towel for them to cool.
• Put pork and all sauce ingredients into an Instant Pot, starting with the vegetables at the bottom.
• Grind the cumin in a mortar if you have one, although I used my trusty coffee grinder for this.
• Sprinkle the pork with the cumin and salt, mix it slightly.
• Close and cook on high for 30 minutes with natural release.
• Remove pork chunks carefully with tongs. The meat is falling apart at this stage so you have to be a little careful.
• Put in cilantro and fish sauce, and using an immersion blender, puree the veggies until there aren't any big chunks of veggies left.
• Put back the pork and enjoy!

INSTANT POT GREEN PORK CHILI

Steps:

• For the chili: In a small food processor, combine the scallions, garlic, poblano, jalapeno and cilantro. Process until a chunky paste forms, 2 to 3 minutes. Scrape into a 6-quart Instant Pot®, add the pork, canned chiles with their liquid, the cumin, salt and pepper. Stir together.
• Follow the manufacturer's guide for locking the lid and preparing to cook. Set to pressure cook on high for 35 minutes. After the pressure-cook cycle is complete, follow the manufacturer's guide for quick release and wait until the quick-release cycle is complete.
• Being careful of any remaining steam, unlock and remove the lid. Set the pot to saute on high and stir in the beans and lime juice. Taste for seasoning and add more salt or pepper, if needed. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened slightly, 10 to 15 minutes. For a thicker chili, simmer until it reaches your desired consistency.
• Meanwhile, prepare the toppings. When ready to serve, ladle the chili into shallow bowls and garnish with avocado, Cotija, cilantro and lime wedges.

PRESSURE COOKER CHILI VERDE (GREEN PORK CHILI)

Steps:

• Spread the tomatillos, anaheim chiles, and jalapeno peppers skin side up on a rimmed baking sheet. Put the baking sheet 6 inches below a broiler set to high, and broil until the tomatillos and peppers are blackened in spots, about 5 minutes. Flip the tomatillos and broil until the tomatillos are browned on the other side and the skins of the peppers are blackened all over, about another five minutes. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the peppers cool for a few minutes, then peel the blackened skin from the peppers and discard. (A little leftover blackened skin is fine.) Pour the contents of the baking sheet into a blender or food processor, including as much of the liquid as possible. Add the cilantro and the teaspoon of Kosher salt, then blend until smooth, about 30 seconds.
• Mix the canned diced chiles and tomatillo salsa in a medium bowl.
• Sprinkle the pork with the 2 teaspoons kosher salt. Heat the oil in the pressure cooker pot over medium-high heat until shimmering. (Saute mode in an electric PC). Brown the pork in two to three batches - put pork cubes in the pot without crowding, and brown each batch of pork on one side, about 4 minutes. Transfer the pork to a bowl with a slotted spoon, leaving as much fat behind as possible.
• There will be extra fat in the pot from the pork; pour out the fat to get down to 1 tablespoon. Add the onions to the pot and sprinkle with ½ teaspoon of kosher salt. Saute the onions until softened and starting to brown around the edges, about 5 minutes, scraping often to release any browned pork bits from the bottom of the pot. Make a hole in the middle of the onions and add the garlic, cumin, coriander, and oregano. Cook until you smell the garlic and spices, about one minute, then stir into the onions.
• Stir the chicken stock, salsa verde, pork, and any pork juices in the bowl into the pot. Lock the lid and cook at high pressure for 30 minutes in an Instant Pot or other electric PC, or for 25 minutes in a stovetop PC. Let the pressure come down naturally, about 20 minutes.
• Stir in the lime juice. Taste and add more salt and pepper if it needs it. (Homemade salsa verde will need more salt; the quick version from cans probably does not - canned ingredients already have a lot of salt. Go by taste; If the chili tastes flat, it needs more salt.) Serve.

EASIEST CHILE VERDE {INSTANT POT}

Steps:

• Heat heavy bottomed pot to medium-high and add cumin seeds. Heat until seeds start to brown and become fragrant (watch to prevent burning), stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and allow to cool. Grind in an electric grinder or by hand with a mortar and pestle. Set aside until needed. See notes if you only have ground cumin.
• In an Instant Pot or other stove top pressure cooker, combine pork, tomatillos, Pablano peppers, Anaheim peppers, jalapeno or serranos, onion, garlic, oregano, cumin, and salt (also add the habanero pepper and additional serranos if you want added heat).
• Press Saute button (for Instant Pot), then adjust to High. Heat until gently sizzling. Now place lid on cooker, select Manual button/Normal Pressure, Sealing function, and adjust time to 28 minutes. Once pressure cooking time is up, release pressure with Quick Release method.
• Using tongs, or slotted spoon if pork pieces are small, transfer pork to a bowl and set aside. Add cilantro and fish sauce to remaining contents in the pressure cooker. Blend with an immersion blender or in a countertop blender, then season to taste with salt, about 1 ½ teaspoons. Return pork to the sauce and stir gently to combine. Serve immediately OR better yet, cool and place in 6 quart container with lid and keep in refrigerator for up to 3 days, at least overnight. Reheat over medium heat on stovetop and enjoy.

PRESSURE COOKER CHILI VERDE

Steps:

• Roast the Anaheim peppers over an open flame on your gas stove, use tongs to turn them so that they blacken all over. If you do not have a gas stove you can broil them in a similar way.
• Put the blackened peppers in a bowl with cling wrap over the bowl and the steam will help the skin to slide off after a few minutes.
• Once you have peeled the peppers, remove the seeds and stem and add them to your food processor or blender.
• Remove the outer husk from the tomatillos and wash and halve them.
• Add the halved tomatillos, onion slices, and garlic into a large bowl and toss with about a tablespoon of olive oil, then place on a baking sheet and broil for about 10 minutes or until they get a little toasted on top.
• Add the tomatillos, onions, and garlic, into your food processor with the chopped Anaheim peppers and blend to make the sauce.
• Cut the country style ribs into large cubes.
• Turn on the saute function in your Instant Pot or pressure cooker and add the oil, then brown the pork in batches.
• Add all the pork back to the pressure cooker and add the salt, pepper, and Ancho chili powder and stir. Pour over the chicken broth, then the chili verde sauce, stir and put the lid on.
• Lock the lid, turn the steam release vent to 'sealing' and using the 'manual' or 'pressure cook' button, adjust it to cook for 20 minutes at High Pressure, then let the pressure release naturally for about 10 minutes or more.
• The Chili Verde may have a lot of liquid when you first open the lid, I like to simmer it using the saute button to reduce and thicken up the sauce which gives a nice rich flavor to the finished dish.

AUTHENTIC CHILE VERDE - SLOW COOKER, INSTANT POT, OR STOVETOP

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to broil or your oven's highest temperature setting, like 500 degrees.
• Place the tomatillos, poblano pepper, jalapeno pepper, serrano pepper, onion, and whole unpeeled garlic cloves on a baking sheet sprayed with cooking spray. Broil for 10 minutes, flipping everything halfway through. If the garlic looks like it is beginning to burn, remove it when you flip everything else.
• Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven. Place the peppers in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap or a lid. After ten minutes, carefully pull the skin of the peppers off, removing as much as possible. You can also remove the seeds, depending on how spicy you like things. Peel the garlic.
• Add the tomatillos, peppers, onions, garlic, cilantro. and chicken broth to a blender along with any juices from the pan. Blend until it reaches your desired consistency. Some people like a chunkier sauce and some prefer a smoother sauce.
• Stovetop: Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a Dutch oven or heavy pot. Add the chicken (or pork), season with salt and pepper, and brown for 2-3 on both sides. Add the sauce and bring to a simmer. For chicken, let simmer on low heat for 25-30 minutes until the chicken easily shreds with a fork. For pork, simmer for 2.5-3 hours until pork easily pulls apart.
• Slow Cooker: Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a Dutch oven or heavy pot. Add the chicken (or pork), season with salt and pepper, and brown for 2-3 on both sides. (You can skip this step but it adds more flavor if you sear the protein first.) Add to the slow cooker with the sauce. For chicken, cook on low for 4 hours. For pork, cook on low for 8 hours or until the pork is fork tender.
• Instant Pot: Use the instant pot saute setting. Add the chicken (or pork), season with salt and pepper, and brown for 2-3 on both sides. Add the chile verde salsa and cover. For chicken thighs, use the manual (Pressure Cooker) setting and cook for 8 minutes. Let naturally release for at least 2-3 minutes before using the steam valve. For pork, use the manual (Pressure Cooker) setting and cook for 45 minutes. Let naturally release for at least 2-3 minutes before using the steam valve.

INSTANT POT CHILI VERDE

Steps:

• 1. In a pressure cooker, place peppers, onions, garlic, spices, chicken broth and a big pinch of salt. (Do not add the meat, potatoes or the potato flakes yet.) Seal the pressure cooker, bring to high pressure, and cook for 5 minutes. Release pressure.
• 2. Using an immersion blender, puree the pepper mixture until it is like a green sauce.
• 3. Add the pork and stir to combine. Replace the lid and cook on manual for 18 minutes. Do a QR until pressure is released. Add the potatoes and pressure cook for another 4 minutes. NR for 5 minutes and then QR.
• 4. Depending on the amount of fat left on the pork, there may be a layer of grease on the top of the dish after it sits in the pot for a few minutes.... just take a spoon and get as much off as you can.
• 5. If the sauce is not like a gravy consistency, add ¼ to ½ cup instant potato flakes and stir to combine. Let the mixture sit for a few minutes for the potato flakes to dissolve and thicken the sauce.
• 6. NOTE: Since the peppers make a lot of 'juice' when cooked, adding all the ingredients to the pressure cooker, with just the small amount of liquid, makes for an intensely flavored stew that cooks in its own juices.
