ULTIMATE PORK CHILE VERDE

Steps:

• You can cook your roast however you like, I always use my crock pot. Slice 1 large onion in rings, put on bottom of pot, add roast then 3/4 c water mixed with 2 Tbs reduced sodium soy sauce, cut small slits on top of roast and fill with 1 clove minced garlic. Cook on low 6-7 hours. If not fully cooked don't worry it will cook through when simmered later on.
• Bring chicken broth in a large stock pot to a boil add tomatillos and boil until they just start to soften and skins start splitting open.
• Leaving broth in pot take out tomatillos and put in a blender or food processor along with chopped cilantro leaves, puree. Set aside.
• Meanwhile arrange poblano, yellow and jalapeno peppers on a large greased sheet pan, put under broiler in oven until they start getting dark, soft and bubbly, turn and repeat on other side until done.
• Seed and chop poblano and yellow peppers, seed and dice jalapenos, leave one jalapeno with seeds (if you like it really spicy adjust jalapenos to your taste).
• In a frying pan add veg oil, cook chopped onion and garlic. Season with sea salt and a little pepper, cook until onions are tender. Add cumin.
• Add onion mix to chicken stock
• Stir in pork, you may not need to use the full 5-6 lbs. Some roasts have more meat than others. I have used the full roast before and half a roast that produced the same amount of meat. Add half and go from there.
• Add peppers and tomatillo/cilantro puree.
• Simmer for 3-4 hrs to thicken. If chile verde sauce is not thick enough add a little instant mashed potatoes until desired thickness is reached.
• On a flour tortilla add shredded cheese and a spoonful of chile verde, roll and smother top with more chile verde and lots of cheese.
• Put under broiler in oven to melt cheese and serve!
• *I usually make the day before and put in fridge (it tastes better the second day) then just heat, put on tortillas and serve!*.

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.

Pulse on and off until pieces start to break down. Then blend until mixture has liquefied, about 30 seconds. Stir sauce into the meat mixture. Add 1 teaspoon salt and bay leaf.

AUTHENTIC MEXICAN PORK CHILE VERDE

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to 500 degrees. In a small bowl mix the salt, chili powder, oregano, granulated garlic, and cumin. Coat the pork on all sides with the rub, massaging the spices into the meat. Let the pork sit at room temperature for 20 to 30 before browning.
• In a food processor or blender, purée the tomatillos, canned chiles, garlic, onion, oregano, and beer.
• Brown the roast on a roasting pan for 30 minutes in the oven.
• Remove the pork from the oven and reduce temperature to 250 degrees. Place the pork in a 13x9-inch heavy-duty disposable drip pan. Pour the tomatillo mixture around the pork so it comes up the sides of the pork by 1 inch or so. Seal the pan tightly with foil, and place the pan in the center of the oven. Cook the pork until the internal temperature of the meat reaches 190°F and the meat is so tender that it tears easily with a fork, 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 hours.
• When the pork is fully cooked, carefully remove the pan from the oven. Unwrap the pork (be careful of the steam) and transfer it to a cutting board. Chop the pork into 1/2-inch chunks and shreds, discarding any large pieces of fat or tough pieces of meat. Pour the pan liquid into a large saucepan and spoon off most of the surface fat. Add the shredded meat and simmer the mixture uncovered for a few minutes to blend the flavors. Season with the cilantro, Tabasco, as well as salt and pepper to taste. The chile verde may be made up to this point 1 day ahead of serving and refrigerated overnight. Warm the chile verde over a slow simmer before serving.
• Serve the chile verde warm in bowls with steamed rice. Pass the sour cream, limes wedges, and a bottle of Tabasco.
