CHILE VERDE WITH TEQUILA PORK TENDERLOIN



Chile Verde With Tequila Pork Tenderloin image

I love to make different varieties of chili and I typically do it the long and hard way. This recipe is made with a leaner cut of pork and it is quick as you don't need to wait all day to make the shredded pork butt. My favorite part is the fresh cilantro and scallions on top...it makes this comfort food still feel very fresh with garden ingredients.

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 lb pork tenderloin, trimmed and cut into bite sized cubes
2 cups tomatillos, husks removed, washed, and coarsely chopped
2 cups chicken stock
1/2 cup green chili, roasted, peeled, seeded, and chopped
2 serrano chilies, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, finely minced
1/4 cup red onion, diced
1 yellow bell pepper, diced
1/4 cup tequila, gold
1 tablespoon canola oil
3 tablespoons cornmeal
1 tablespoon dried ancho chile powder
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon cumin
1/4 cup scallion, sliced
1/4 cup cilantro, freshly chopped

Steps:

  • Heat Oil in a large skillet with deep edges or a soup pot over medium high heat.
  • Mix cornmeal, chili powder, cumin, some salt and pepper in a bowl. Roll in pork to coat. Shake off any excess and reserve the corn meal mixture.
  • Toss pork into pan and saute for about 5-6 minutes until browned on all sides. Remove from pan.
  • Add white onions to the pan -- season with a sprinkle of salt and pepper -- and cook for about 3-4 minutes until softened. Add peppers and garlic. Reduce heat to medium and cook for 1-2 minutes.
  • Add tomatillos, green chilis, and chicken stock. Add another sprinkle of salt and pepper if desired - I like to continually layer the seasoning. Increase heat to medium high and bring to a boil. Add reserved cornmeal mixture, and stir vigorously to avoid lumps. Reduce heat back to medium.
  • Add tequila and Pork to the pan and cook at medium for 3-5 minutes or until mixture is heated through, thickened, and flavors incorporated.
  • Serve in bowls with the fresh scallions and cilantro sprinkled on top.
  • Enjoy.

Time 3h30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

4 pounds pork butt or shoulder, trimmed of fat and cut into 2-inch cubes
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Flour for dredging
1/4 cup vegetable oil
3 yellow onions
2 green bell peppers, cut into 1-inch cubes
2 Anaheim or Poblano chiles, cut into 1-inch cubes
2-3 jalapenos, seeds removed, and finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, peeled and finely chopped
1 1/2 pounds tomatillos, roasted, peeled and chopped
1 tablespoon dried oregano
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 tablespoons coriander seeds, crushed and soaked in a scant amount of water
2 bay leaves
1 bunch cilantro leaves, cleaned and chopped
4 cups chicken stock

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.

PORK CHILE VERDE

Pork slowly stews with jalapenos, onion, green enchilada sauce and spices in this flavor-packed Mexican dish. It's wonderful on its own or stuffed in a warm tortilla with sour cream, grated cheese or olives on the side. -Kimberly Burke, Chico, California

TEQUILA PORK CHILE VERDE



Tequila Pork Chile Verde image

This recipe appeared in the October 2007 issue of Cooking Light. I haven't tried it yet -- but hope to real soon. (Fresh tomatillos come in papery husks, which peel off easily to reveal what looks like small green tomatoes. They have a tart lemony flavor and must be cooked before eating. A brief stewing will mellow the flavor but leave some of the characteristic tang.)
