BRAISED PORK GREEN CHILI

Steps:

• Over medium heat in a medium saucepan, heat the butter until melted. Then reduce the heat to low and slowly whisk in the flour to create a roux. Continue to cook until the butter has been absorbed into the flour and is a smooth consistency.
• Once the roux has cooked, return the mixture to medium-high heat. Add the stock and allow to simmer, whisking throughout the cooking process. Once simmered and thickened, 8 to 10 minutes, add the pork, chiles, spice and parsley. Allow this to cook for an additional 20 minutes, with reduced heat to medium-low. Finally, add the tomatoes and cook for a final 10 minutes. Taste and adjust spice to preference.

GREEN CHILI WITH PORK AND ROASTED CHILES

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat to 400 F. When oven is hot, roast the green chiles until charred on all sides. Alternatively, use the oven's broiler to char the chiles, turning so all sides are blackened (or char on the open flame of a gas stove, using tongs to turn).
• Cover chiles with foil and allow them to steam and cool down for at least 15 minutes.
• Pull off chile stems, scrape off and remove peels, remove seeds, and chop into small pieces. Set chiles aside.

• Brown pork pieces, working in single layer batches. Repeat process until all pieces are browned. Remove from pot and set aside.
