Green Hell Chili Verde With White Beans And Pork Recipes

Steps:

• Trim excess fat off of pork chops and cut into cubes or chunks.
• Heat oil in the bottom of your stock pot over medium heat, add pork, salt and black pepper to taste. Cook until pork is browned and cooked through.
• Add tablespoon (or more) concentrated ham stock or four cups prepared ham stock, stir into the pork.
• Stir the mixture, cover the pot, turn down a touch and leave it alone.
• Peel tomatillos, garlic cloves, and yellow onions. Trim the roots off of the green onions and cut them into four inch pieces. Split and seed the jalapeno peppers. Chop the cilantro. Liquify all ingredients in a blender or food processor, adding water as needed. They must be liquified and smooth. Fill a large mixing bowl with the puree as you go. When all of the ingredients are liquified and in the large mixing bowl, whisk in the white pepper, black pepper and cumin. Set it aside.
• Stir the pork, oil, and ham concentrate. When the pork is browned and tender, add liquified ingredients, stir together, bring to a gentle simmer, cover the pot again, and turn heat down to just above "low." Ignore for a minimum of two hours (I generally go for three). This lets the flavors combine and develop and become very fragrant. Stir it if you want to, but I have not found it necessary. In two or three hours, your kitchen should reek and the stew should be bright green, potent, fragrant, and ready for completion.
• After a few hours, mix your favorite cornbread recipe (savory is better than sweet on this one), pop that in the oven (20 minutes or so?) and open the canned beans into a strainer or colander. Drain and rinse beans in cold water and add to the soup pot. Stir the beans into the stew, bring to a gentle simmer once again, and cover.
• Mix corn flour or wheat flour into very cold water until all of the lumps are gone and you have formed a thick-ish slurry. Add to the soup pot, stir constantly until thick.
• Time to eat. Serve with warm cornbread or tortillas or both. Top servings with shredded pepper jack or mexican blend cheese and sour cream, garnish with chopped cilantro. Salt and pepper to taste. Enjoy!

Steps:

• In a Dutch oven, brown pork in butter in batches. Remove and keep warm., In the same pan, saute onions and celery in butter until tender. Stir in the beans, broth, water, jalapenos, spices, garlic, salt, parsley, pork and, if desired, hot pepper sauce. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 45-60 minutes or until pork is tender. , Uncover; simmer 30-40 minutes longer or until chili reaches desired consistency. Sprinkle with cheese.

Steps:

• Heat vegetable oil in a pot over high heat until it's nearly smoking. Add pork shoulder cubes in a single layer. Let sear until brown on one side, 4 to 5 minutes. Mix and turn pieces over and brown on the other side, 4 to 5 minutes. Add onion, 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring until onions turn translucent, about 4 minutes. Add oregano, cumin, coriander, and cayenne. Stir and cook until seasonings get fragrant, about 2 minutes. Reduce heat to low.
• Remove paper husk from tomatillos and rinse. Cut into quarters. Place in blender with garlic, jalapeno pepper, poblano, cilantro, and chicken broth. 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. Increase heat to high and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low to maintain a slow but steady simmer for about 1 hour. Add potatoes, 1/2 teaspoon salt, black pepper. If mixture has reduced to where potatoes are not immersed, add more broth to cover. Simmer until meat and potatoes are tender, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
• Garnish individual servings with a dollop of sour cream, some pickled red onions (if desired), and cilantro leaves.

Steps:

• Brown ground pork and strain grease (although when I've been in a hurry, I've skipped this step and put it in the crock pot raw and it didn't ultimately hurt the flavor at all).
• Rinse and strain beans
• Combine all ingredients in crockpot, adding however much water the bag of beans directs (include the chicken broth in this measurement)
• *Note - you can use canned green chiles (if so, use about 3 cans) or fresh Hatch green chiles, when in season!
• Stir ingredients, set crockpot to high, let simmer on high for about 30 minutes.
• Turn crockpot to low, let cook as long as needed, I usually do about 8 hours, although it'd be ready to eat around 6 hours.
