Steps:

• Place poblano peppers on a foil-lined baking sheet. Broil 4 in. from heat until skins blister, about 5 minutes. With tongs, rotate peppers a quarter turn. Broil and rotate until all sides are blistered and blackened. Immediately place peppers in a large bowl; let stand, covered, 10 minutes., Peel off and discard charred skin. Remove and discard stems and seeds. Finely chop peppers., In a 6-qt. stockpot, heat butter over medium heat. Brown pork in batches. Remove with a slotted spoon., In same pan, add red peppers, onion and jalapeno; cook, covered, over medium heat 8-10 minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally. Stir in chili powder, garlic, salt and nutmeg. Add broth, roasted peppers and pork; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, 10-15 minutes or until pork is tender. Serve with toppings as desired.

Steps:

• Layer the chopped onion into the bottom of a slow cooker. Season the pork shoulder with salt and pepper; place atop the chopped onion. Pour the green salsa over the pork. Sprinkle the the cilantro over the salsa and pork. Drop the serrano chile peppers into the slow cooker.
• Cook on Low until the meat falls apart easily, about 8 hours. Gently remove the pork to a cutting board. Strain and discard about half the remaining liquid from the slow cooker, reserving the rest. Discard the onions, peppers, and cilantro if desired.
• Shred the pork shoulder with a pair of forks. Mix the pork with the reserved liquid from the slow cooker to serve.

Steps:

• Place pork, onions, salt, pepper, cumin, and bay leaves into a large braising pan; cover with water; gently simmer over medium-heat 1 1/2 hours or until pork is tender; drain liquid from pork; remove bay leaves; trim pork into 1/2" pieces.
• NOTE: A portion of the pork may be cooled and frozen at this point, then used for making carnitas later on.
• Wipe braising pan dry; pour in vegetable oil and heat until oil almost smokes; brown pork in oil, stirring occasionally, for approximately 15 minutes.
• While pork is still cooking, prepare the sauce: Remove most of the membranes and most of the seeds from the jalapeno peppers; bring chicken stock to boil in medium saucepan; add tomatillos, jalapenos, and garlic cloves and boil 3 minutes; pour hot contents of saucepan into blender; puree.
• Pour sauce over browned pork; simmer 15 minutes over low heat; thicken, if desired, with a slurry of 3 tablespoons masa harina shaken with 1/4 cup water until smooth.
• NOTE: You may make your chile verde as spicy or as mild as you like by simply increasing or decreasing the amount of jalapeno pepper seeds and membranes included in the sauce.

Steps:

• Combine pork butt, salt and 2 cups water in an 8-quart stockpot over high heat and bring to a boil. Turn down to a simmer and cook until pork is tender, 1 hour and 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine garlic cloves, serranos, cumin, black peppercorns, onion quarters, the chopped Anaheims and 2 cups water in a blender. Blend well until mixture is liquid, then slowly add cilantro. Continue to blend until mixture is completely liquid, then add mixture to stockpot (at whatever point the stockpot is at). Bring stockpot back to a boil, then, reduce heat back to a simmer.
• Combine tomatillos and 1 cup water in blender and blend well until mixture becomes liquid, about 5 minutes. Add to stockpot and bring mixture to a boil again, then reduce the heat to medium.
• Preheat the broiler.
• Roast remaining whole Anaheim peppers in broiler, turning occasionally, until charred. Remove skin under cool running water and slice thin. Add to the stockpot in the last 30 minutes of cooking time.

Steps:

• Cook the rice according to the package instructions.
• Meanwhile, heat the olive oil and butter in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. When the oil is hot and the butter has melted, add the garlic, poblanos, onions and jalapenos, then stir to combine. Add the sausage meat and season with the salt and pepper. Cook the sausage, crumbling it as you go, until browned, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Add the enchilada sauce, salsa verde and green chiles with their liquid. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 to 12 minutes, to thicken and develop the flavors. Stir in the lime juice. Taste and adjust the seasonings as needed.
• Serve alongside the rice and garnish with the sour cream, radish, cilantro and hot sauce.

Steps:

• Season the pork meat generously with salt and pepper, lightly flour. Heat oil in a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium high heat and brown pork chunks well in small batches, on all sides. Lift pork out of pan and place in a wide soup pot. Discard fat and place the onions and peppers in the same skillet and sweat over moderate heat, stirring occasionally until limp, about 5 minutes. Add all of the chiles and cook an additional 3-4 minutes, then add the garlic and cook 1-2 minutes more.
• Add the Sauteed vegetables, chopped tomatillos, dried herbs and cilantro to the meat, cover with the chicken stock and bring up to a boil and reduce to a slight simmer. Cook for 2-3 hours uncovered or until the pork is fork tender.
• Adjust the seasoning to taste with salt and pepper. Serve with red rice for a delightful contrast.

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients (except those for serving) and place in a crock pot.
• Cook on high for one hour and then switch to low for an additional 4-6 hours - time could be different depending on how hot your crock pot cooks. (This could easily be cooked on the stove as well).
• At this point I like to break the meat up with a large spoon so that it is more or less "shredded".
• Serve in a bowl with cilantro, yogurt or sour cream and tortillas on the side (and a spoon!).

Steps:

• In a 3-1/2 quart crockpot, combine the pork, potatoes, onions, green chiles, and corn kernels.
• In a bowl, combine the sugar, cumin or chili powder, oregano and salsa verde. Mix well to combine and pour over contents of crockpot. Mix entire contents by stirring gently.
• Cover crockpot and cook until tender on LO heat for 6-8 hours. Or cook on HI heat for 4-5 hours.
• Serve stew over hot cooked rice and garnish with chopped cilantro.

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:

• Trim and discard fat and cut pork in 1-inch cubes.
• In a large frying pan, heat oil over mediun-high heat; add meat a few cubes at a time and cook until very brown.
• Push meat to side of pan and add onion, garlic and bell peppers; saute until limp.
• Stir in chiles, oregano, cumin, salt, cilantro, vinegar, and water.
• Cover and simmer until meat is fork tender(about 1 hour).
• Skim off fat & discard.
• Serve with rice or make burritos or serve in your favorite way.

Steps:

• Husk and remove stems and rinse tomatillos.
• Remove stems and rinse all peppers and slice in half. Depending on your taste you can either leave the seeds in or take them out.
• Boil tomatillos and peppers together until the tomatillos are a light yellow and are soft to the touch. Don't over cook. You don't want the tomatillos to break open.
• I use a ladle to pull out the tomatillos and peppers.
• Place them in a blender.
• Roughly chop cilantro leaves and add them to the blender. Blend well.
• I leave the peppers in the blender while I brown the pork in the pot that I will simmer everything inches.
• Brown chunked pork in olive oil and all the seasonings. Add onion. Add the garlic last so it doesn't burn.
• Combine blended peppers with with pork and chicken stock. Simmer on low for 2 hours.
• This is how I freeze it. I find it is best to freeze the chile verde in a flat surface, like a 9x13 pan. Spray with Pam first.cover and freeze. When completely frozen take out and you can cut to any size to fit your families needs. I take the cut sections and seal them into our foodsaver bags.
• To reheat place sections in to a pan on low and bring to a simmer. Then enjoy.
• You and even put the sections into a crock pot set on low and enjoy after a day of work.

Steps:

• In a large skillet, saute the pork, carrots, onion and garlic in oil in batches until pork is browned. Transfer to a 5-qt. slow cooker. Add the enchilada sauce, water, jalapenos and cilantro. Cover and cook on low for 6 hours or until meat is tender. Serve with rice and tortillas.
