Chili verde

[LeslieDean]

Here you go:

Ingredients: Pork

2 1/2 to 3lbs. pork loin ( 1/2in. cube )

1 tbsp. salt

1 1/2 teas. pepper

1 teas. garlic powder

2 teas. chili powder

1/4 teas. cumin

4 tbsp. olive oil

2 1/2 cups water

Cut the pork into cubes and put in a ziplock bag with everything except water. Let set in frig overnight .

Ingredients: Chili Verde (Green Sauce)

1 1/2 lbs. fresh tomatillos

1 big onion

2 green or Anaheim chili’s or pablanos

4 cloves fresh garlic ( peeled )

1/2 teas. salt

1/4 teas. pepper

1/4 teas. dry Mexican oregano

Roast the tomatillos onion and garlic in oven then remove and let cool. After cool to touch place in food processor and blend then and 1 c chk broth.

After your pork has marinated, add it to a large deep skillet preheated to high. You will want a pan big enough to hold the pork and the sauce. A good way to know if your pan is hot enough is to add a few drops of olive oil to it and when it starts to smoke, it’s ready. Sear your pork on all sides, stirring often, this will take about 20 minutes or so. Once the pork has seared, stir in your sauce along with about 2 1/2 cups of water and bring to the boil. Reduce heat to the lowest possible setting and cover. Your looking for a very low simmer, it should barely even bubble. Cook for about 1 1/2 hours stirring occasionally. You could also transfer your covered pan to a 300 degree oven and bake for about an hour, provided your pan and lid are oven proof. Everybody’s stove is a little different so try a piece of the meat, it should be tender, if not cook it a little longer

Be sure to remove the papery wrappers if the tomatillos before roasting.

Serve with flour tortillas that have been browned in a skillet with a little olive oil or butter.
