PORK AND TOMATILLO CHILI

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler. Toss the tomatillos and tomatoes with 1 tablespoon vegetable oil on a baking sheet and push to one side. Put the poblanos and jalapenos on the other side of the baking sheet. Broil, turning the vegetables occasionally, until charred, about 10 minutes. Transfer the tomatillos and tomatoes to a cutting board and let cool. Put the peppers in a bowl and cover with a plate; set aside 10 minutes. Pull the skins off the tomatoes, then core and chop them along with the tomatillos. Peel, seed and chop the peppers; set all the vegetables aside.
• Toss the pork with the chili powder, cumin, 2 teaspoons salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl. Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large Dutch oven or pot over medium heat. Working in batches, add the pork to the pot and cook, turning, until browned, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
• Add the remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, the onion and garlic to the pot; cook, stirring, until softened, about 3 minutes. Sprinkle in the cornmeal and cook, stirring, until lightly toasted, about 1 minute. Add the broiled tomatillos, tomatoes and peppers. Stir to combine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Add the broth and pork and any collected juices, then bring to a simmer.
• Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the pork is tender, about 1 1/2 hours. Uncover, season generously with salt and continue simmering, stirring occasionally, until the liquid reduces slightly, about 30 more minutes. Remove from the heat and let stand about 10 minutes; spoon off any excess fat from the top. Season the chili with salt and pepper and serve with toppings.

CHILE VERDE STEW WITH PORK AND TOMATILLOS

Steps:

• Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
• Dust pork cubes in flour and season with salt and pepper.
• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown pork in the hot oil, about 5 minutes. Set aside. Place tomatillos and garlic cloves into a baking pan.
• Broil tomatillos and garlic in the preheated oven for 7 minutes. Turn off the broiler and let rest in the oven for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool enough to handle, about 10 minutes. Mince roasted garlic.
• Heat remaining tablespoon oil in a pot over medium-high heat. Saute onion in the hot oil until softened, about 5 minutes. Add browned pork, chicken broth, minced garlic, cumin, oregano, and bay leaf; reduce heat to low and let simmer.
• Mix roasted tomatillos, serrano peppers, green chile peppers, and jalapeno pepper together in a bowl. Add to the pot. Continue to simmer over low heat until pork is tender and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of a cube reads at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C), about 20 minutes. Stir in cilantro and remove bay leaf before serving.

GREEN CHILE AND TOMATILLO PORK STEW

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Combine tomatillos, jalapenos, and 1/4 cup of chicken stock in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook until the tomatillo begins to break down and get soft. Remove from heat.
• Heat a large, oven-safe Dutch oven over medium-high heat and add grape seed oil. Add pork to hot pan and brown well on all sides. Remove pork from pan and pour off most of the oil and fat. Reserve some fat in pan.
• Add tomatillo, jalapeno, onion, and garlic to food processor and puree until smooth. Return pork pan to medium heat and add puree to the reserved fat in pan. Add cumin and salt, and heat through.
• Add the rest of chicken stock into pot with puree and stir to combine.
• Nestle pork back into the pot of puree and stock. The pork should be covered about 3/4 of the way. Add more stock if needed. Cover and put in preheated oven for about 3-4 hours, until pork is tender and falling apart. Turn the pork at least once halfway through the cook time. Using two forks, shred the pork a bit and mix it through the sauce to get the flavor incorporated into all the pork. Taste and add salt and pepper if needed.
• Serve pork stew right out of the pot and top with garnishes (cilantro, queso fresco, pepitas, and hot sauce). Serve heated corn tortillas on the side for dipping and scooping.
