Chiliverde Recipes

Steps:

• Pour half of the Worcestershire sauce into the pan of a slow cooker, and half of the garlic pepper. Place the roast in the pan, and sprinkle remaining Worcestershire sauce and garlic pepper over the top. Add the onions, and chilies, and pour in the chicken broth. Cover, and cook on Low for 8 to 10 hours.
• When the roast is tender enough to pull apart with a fork, add the green salsa, and the beans, if desired. Continue cooking until heated through. Serve as soup or over chimichangas.

Steps:

• In a Dutch oven, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat. Add 1 pound of pork; cook and stir until lightly browned. Remove and set aside. Repeat with remaining meat, adding more oil as needed. Return all of the meat to Dutch oven. , Sprinkle flour over meat; mix well. Add the chiles, cumin, salt, pepper, garlic, cilantro, salsa verde and broth. Cover and simmer until pork is tender and chili reaches desired consistency, about 1-1/2 hours. Serve with tortillas. Freeze option: Place individual portions of cooled chili in freezer containers and freeze. To use, partially thaw in refrigerator overnight. Heat through in a saucepan, stirring occasionally; add broth if necessary.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine oregano, cumin, and chile powder. In a chili pot, combine enchilada sauce, tomatillos, and salsa verde. Press tomatillos against the side of the pot to crush. Add the oregano mixture to the liquids. Heat to boiling. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring frequently.
• Brown the meat in lard or oil in batches with onions and pressed garlic. Drain meat and add to chili pot. Add diced green chiles. Return pot to simmer.
• After 2 hours, add half of finely minced green peppers. Add salt, as desired. Taste and adjust, adding additional minced peppers as desired. After 2 1/2 hours thicken or thin, as needed. After 2 3/4 hours, adjust salt and other seasonings as needed.
• Just before serving, add lime juice and cilantro.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add 1/2 cup of olive oil. Stir in the onion, garlic, serrano and jalapeno peppers and cook until soft. Remove from heat and set aside.
• Place the pork shoulder in a large heavy bottomed pot, coated with oil, over medium heat and sear until well browned on all sides. Deglaze with the chicken broth, and then add sauteed onions and peppers. Turn heat to low, cover and let it simmer for 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, place the Anaheim peppers on a sheet pan.
• Peel the outer paper skins off the tomatillos, then coat with olive oil and place on another sheet pan. Place both pans in the preheated oven and roast until the peppers are nicely charred and the tomatillos are soft, about 20 minutes.
• Remove pans from the oven and place the peppers in a plastic bag to let them steam for 5 minutes.
• Peel and seed peppers, and then puree them with the tomatillos in a food processor. Add the puree to the pork mixture, stir, and then let simmer on low heat.
• Combine the garlic powder, black pepper, ground cumin, Mexican oregano, ground coriander and salt in a small bowl, then add to pork mixture and stir well.
• In a small saute pan, mix 1/2 cup olive oil with the corn flour, stirring over low heat for 2 minutes to make a masa roux.
• Let the chili mixture simmer for approximately 1 1/2 to 2 hours on medium-low heat, or until pork is nice and tender. Then stir in masa roux and simmer for 10 more minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Season pork with salt and pepper. Heat a medium Dutch oven (6 to 8 quarts) over medium-high. Swirl in 2 tablespoons oil. Working in batches, brown pork all over, 16 to 20 minutes total (adding remaining oil when needed). Let pork cool slightly, then cut into 1-inch chunks.
• Return Dutch oven to medium-high heat. Add onion, season with salt and pepper, and sauté until translucent, about 3 minutes. Return pork to Dutch oven along with canned chiles, salsa, and 1/2 cup water. Bring to a boil, then cover and transfer to oven. Roast until pork is very tender, about 2 1/2 hours.
• Let stand 10 minutes; skim fat with a spoon and serve with various accompaniments on the side.

Steps:

• Season pork with salt and pepper. In a large Dutch oven or other heavy-bottomed pot, add pork, onion, salsa, and broth. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer until pork pulls apart easily, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Skim fat off top. Season with salt and pepper. Top with cilantro and limes to serve.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic; cook and stir until fragrant. Add the cubed pork, and cook until browned on the outside. Transfer the pork, onions, and garlic to a slow cooker, and stir in the green salsa, jalapeno peppers, and tomatoes.
• Cover, and cook on High for 3 hours. Reduce the setting to Low, and cook for 4 to 5 more hours.

Steps:

• In a 5-qt. slow cooker, combine pork, enchilada sauce, salsa verde, green chiles and salt. Cook, covered, on low until pork is tender, 5-6 hours. Serve with rice. If desired, top with sour cream.

Steps:

• Roast chiles under a broiler, turning every 5 minutes or so, until blackened on all sides.
• Put the chiles into a paper bag or covered bowl and let them steam for a couple of minutes.
• Peel the skin off of the chiles, remove the seeds, and cut them into 1" square strips. Finely chop the Jalapeño.
• [Optional] Cut the tomatillos in half and dry roast them in a skillet until they start to pick up some dark spots (about 5 min).
• Coat Pork in flour, salt and pepper. Brown and set aside.
• Add onions and garlic to pan, cook until onions are golden brown.
• Add chiles, tomatillos, and tomatoes. Fry for about 10min.
• Add pork and chicken stock. Simmer for 1-2 hours (until tender/falling apart).
• Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• [Optional] For an extra layer of flavor and texture, add half an onion, cut into a large dice, 20 min before the end of cooking.
• [Variation] For a quicker prep time, brown the onion first, add the meat, scatter on some flour, salt, and pepper, and stir until it colors a bit, and then continue with the remaining instructions.

Steps:

• Cut the meat into one-and-one-half-inch cubes. 2. Heat the oil in a pressure cooker. When it is quite hot, add about one-third of the cubes of meat. Cook, stirring, until nicely browned.
• Using a slotted spoon, transfer the cubes to a separate platter. Add another third of the remaining cubes to the pressure cooker and cook until nicely browned. Transfer to the platter. Continue cooking the remaining cubes and transferring them to the platter.
• Add the green peppers to the fat remaining in the pressure cooker and cook, stirring, until wilted. Add the garlic and cook about five seconds, stirring.
• Return the meat to the cooker. Add the remaining ingredients. Cover the cooker with the lid and pressure regulator. Cook 20 minutes. Remove the lid from the cooker, following the manufacturer's instructions. Cook down, uncovered, about 10 minutes or until the sauce is reduced slightly. Serve with cumin rice (see recipe).

Steps:

• Place pork loin in freezer for about 30 minutes - this will make it easier to cut. Trim all visible fat, and cut into cubes - about 1 inch or so.
• Heat oil in dutch oven, and add pork. Cook til all sides are lightly brown. Remove pork with a slotted spoon, onto a plate or small bowl.
• Add onion to pan and cook until lightly browned and add garlic.
• While onion is browning, put the almonds in a blender or food processor and pulse until almonds are the consistency of meal (don't go to far or you'll have almond butter). Add tomatillos, 1 can of the green chilis, and the jalapeno. Puree for about 1 minute.
• When onions and garlic are done, add tomatillo mixture to pan.
• Season mixture with cumin and chili powder. I probably use about 4 to 5 tablespoons cumin and 1 tablespoon chili powder. It's really just up to you and what you prefer.
• Return pork to pan, add chicken broth and bring to a slow boil. Cover and reduce heat to simmer.
• Cook covered for about 1 hour. Uncover and continue cooking until liquid reduces to your preference.
• Make burritos with the condiments you and your family prefer.
