Carne De Puerco En Chile Verde Recipes

Steps:

• In a large skillet, add the pork butt, salt, black pepper, lemon pepper, oregano and garlic and cook for 10 minutes. Add the Salsa Verde, cilantro, cumin, green chiles and onions and cook for another 5 minutes. Transfer to a slow cooker, cover and cook on high for 30 minutes. Turn the heat down to low and cook for 3 to 3 1/2 hours.
• In a saucepan, boil the tomatillos, garlic, jalapenos, serrano and half of the onions in 2 cups water until the mixture floats to the top of the saucepan, about 30 minutes. Strain out the pulp and reserve the liquid.
• In a food processor, blend the pulp with the remaining onions, the cilantro, salt and 3/4 cup of the reserved liquid.

Steps:

• Cut pork or beef into small cubes.
• Saute in oil until well browned.
• Drain off all but 1 tablespoon fat.
• Add chopped chiles, garlic, onion, tomato and water and season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Cover tightly and simmer 1 hour.

Steps:

• 1. Combine ingredients for meat in a heavy saucepan; simmer covered until tender. Cool and shred to desired consistency, leaving in pan. Cover. Set aside.
• 2. While meat is cooking, mash garlic cloves with cumin and salt to form a paste. Mix in the oregano. Remove stems from dried anchos. Simmer the ancho chiles in the water in a saucepan for about 15 minutes, until soft. Saving the water, place the chiles into a blender and liquefy with some of the water. Add the garlic mixture and enough of the remaining water to form a fairly thin sauce. You can strain this to remove any seeds if you like.
• 3. To finish off the dish: Uncover the pork. Return to heat and cook away the remaining water. Sprinkle meat with flour or cornmeal. Saute until starting to brown. Add the sauce and any remaining chile cooking water if you like it really juicy. Simmer for 15 minutes, adjusting the consistency if necessary as the sauce thickens. Add more flour or cornmeal if it is too thin.
• 4. Serve with warmed flour tortillas, rice and refried beans with desired garnishes. The restaurant served it with refried beans and cubed potatoes, soft fried with bell peppers and onions. YUMMY!
