chili verde

Crock Pot Pork Green Chili is a soul-satisfying bowl of delicious chunks of tender pork in a slightly thickened sauce loaded with lots of green chilies, tomatillos, and spices.  A Colorado-inspired favorite that is just as good eaten out of a bowl like a stew as it is poured over burritos.

This chili verde is filled tender chunks of pork and lots of rich, peppery flavor, perfect served with rice, beans and warm flour tortillas 

Chili Verde

tomatillos (about 15), papers removed, rinsed, and halved

Anaheim peppers, seeds and membrane removed, and roughly chopped

garlic

avocado oil

black pepper

(generously packed) cilantro leaves

agave (or honey)

smoked paprika

coriander

chipotle powder

white pepper

pork

flour (optional—helps creates a nice crust on the meat)

onion, chopped

garlic, pressed through garlic press

chicken stock

cilantro leaves,

Rice, pinto beans and flour tortillas,

Begin by preparing your salsa verde: preheat the oven to 450°, and line a medium-large baking sheet with foil.

Place the tomatillos, Anaheim peppers, onion and garlic into a large bowl, and drizzle with about 2 to 3 tablespoons of the oil; sprinkle generously with salt and pepper and toss to coat, then turn the vegetables out onto the baking sheet, and roast for 20 minutes.

After 20 minutes, reduce the oven temp to 400°, and roast for 15 minutes more, until the veggies are charred, tender and aromatic; remove from oven and allow them to cool slightly, just enough so they can be handled.

Once slightly cooled, add the roasted veggies, along with all of their juices, to the bowl of a food processor, then add in the cilantro and the agave; process for about 30 seconds or so until the mixture has a chunky-smooth texture, like that of salsa; spoon into a bowl and set aside for a moment.

To prepare the chili verde pork, combine the cumin, smoked paprika, ground coriander, chipotle powder, dried oregano, white and black pepper in a ramekin, and set aside 1 tablespoon of this to use as seasoning for the pork.

Place the pork into a large bowl, season generously with salt, and sprinkle over the 1 tablespoon of seasoning, as well as the flour (if using), and toss to coat well.

Place a large pot over high heat, and drizzle in about 3 tablespoons of avocado oil; once very hot, add some of the seasoned pork to the pot (working in batches), and allow it to sear/brown on that first side, undisturbed, for about 4 minutes; then, stir, and allow the pork to brown for about 2 minutes more, then remove from the pot and spoon into a large bowl to hold; repeat with remaining pork until all is browned.

Next, to the same pot, add in the onion, and saute that for a few moments until it becomes softened and slightly browned; add in the remainder of the seasoning/spice mixture you prepared, along with the garlic, and stir to combine for about 30 seconds, or just until aromatic.

Pour in your salsa verde, followed by the browned pork and its juices, and then the chicken stock; stir to combine, bring to a vigorous simmer, cover with a lid askew to allow for venting, and reduce the heat to low so that the chili verde comes to a gentle simmer now.

Cook the chili verde for 2 1/2 to 3 hours, or until the pork is very tender, stirring occasionally.

To finish and serve the chili verde pork, stir in the chopped cilantro, and check to see if any additional salt/pepper is needed; serve the chili verde on its own, or with an accompaniment of rice, pinto beans and warm flour tortillas.

This homemade Mexican chili Verde recipe is seared chunks of pork butt simmered in tomatillo salsa and broth until fork fall apart tender.

Chili Verde Recipe

salsa verde (green salsa)

limes

cilantro leaves (chopped)

First cut the pork butt into bite-sized pieces, removing excess fat as you go.

Sear

Then heat a heavy bottom, dutch oven pan over high heat, and drizzle in a bit of oil. Working in batches, sear the outside of the pork chunks on all sides, taking care not to overcrowd the pan.

Remove

Remove each batch of seared pork to a clean plate as you work through the batches.

Replace

Once all the meat is seared replace all the meat and any juices that may have collected back into the pot.

Deglaze

Add the salsa verde to the pan, scraping the bottom to loosen any bits and deglaze the pan.

Add the chicken stock to the pan and stir to combine.

Simmer

Bring to a simmer and then reduce to medium-low heat and allow the sauce to reduce by half. This could take up to 3 or 4 hours.

Scrape

As the sauces nears full reduction, scrape the bottom of the pan to keep it from burning.

Stir

Before serving stir in the fresh lime juice and lime zest, if you wish.

Garnish

Stir in the chopped fresh cilantro and garnish with more lime and cilantro.

This INSTANT POT CHILI VERDE is made in minutes, full of flavor, and sure to warm your soul this Winter. All the spice in all the right places! We love to fry tortillas and lay them at the bottom of the bowl for extra crunch and texture.&nbsp;

Instant Pot Chili Verde

pork shoulder (Boneless,

tomatillos (quartered, husks removed)

Poblano peppers (seeds and stems removed, roughly chopped)

Anaheim peppers (seeds and stems removed, roughly chopped)

jalapeno peppers (seed and stems removed, roughly chopped)

green chiles ((4.5 ounce can))

garlic (peeled)

dried Mexican oregano (optional)

cilantro (chopped)

corn tortillas

canola oil

Sour cream

fresh cilantro

Cotija cheese

Lime wedges

Set the Instant Pot to sauté.  After 1 minute, add the pork cubes, tomatillos, Poblano peppers, Anaheim peppers, jalapeno chilies, green chilies, onion, garlic, cumin, 1 teaspoon kosher salt and oregano.

Set to manual, and cook 25 minutes.  Allow pressure to release naturally.

While the Chile Verde cooks, prepare the tortillas by heating 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat in a medium skillet.  Place a tortilla in the hot skillet and cook until bottom side begins to bubble and turns golden.  Flip the tortilla over and heat the other side.  Press the tortilla in an individual serving bowl and set aside.  Repeat with one tortilla per serving.  (It's a good idea to make a few extra.)

After steam has released from the Instant Pot, transfer pork pieces to a plate, using tongs.

Add cilantro to the remaining ingredients in the Instant Pot.  Blend with an immersion blender or in a countertop blender.  Season to taste with salt.

Return pork to sauce and stir to combine.

Ladle the chile verde into the bowls with the tortillas and garnish with chopped cilantro, dollop of sour cream, Cojita cheese and a wedge of lime.

Enjoy!
