SPRING HILL RANCH'S PORK GREEN CHILI

Steps:

• 1. In a large heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat, heat 2 Tablespoons of the lard. Meanwhile, in a medium mixing bowl, sprinkle the flour over pork cubes. Using a wooden spoon, stir the pork to coat. When the lard is hot, start browning the pork cubes about 1/2 pound at a time. Once nicely browned, remove the cubes to a bowl.
• 2. Add the remaining lard to the pan to heat. When it's hot, add the onions and cook them until they are softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and stir until they are fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add in the green chiles, jalapeño, tomato, chicken broth and water, stirring to make sure all the browned bits are loosened from the bottom of the pan.
• 3. Transfer everything in the pan to your large slow cooker. Stir in the pork cubes. Cover and cook the chili on low for 4-6 hours, stirring every once in awhile to make sure nothing sticks to the bottom. Stir in the cumin, and adjust the salt and pepper as needed.

SPRING HILL RANCH'S GREEN CHILE COUNTRY GRAVY

Steps:

• 1. In a small saucepan over medium high heat, heat the lard until just below the smoking point. Add the minced onion and sauté them until they have softened and are beginning to turn golden around the edges (about 5 minutes).
• 2. Whisk in the flour until well combined. Continue whisking or stirring for a minute or two to cook out the raw flour flavor. Slowly whisk in the milk. Add the green chiles. Whisking constantly, bring the gravy to a boil to thicken it, then reduce the temperature to a simmer. Season the gravy with salt and pepper.
