EASY CHILE VERDE



Easy Chile Verde image

If you order a bowl of authentic Mexican chile verde in the Southwest, you'll find hunks of juicy, tender pork shoulder that have been braised for hours in a tart tomatillo-chile sauce. While the original is worthy of a special weekend project, we wanted a recipe that we could make on any lazy Sunday and still be delicious. By using storebought ingredients that bring maximum flavor with the minimal amount of fuss, we created a hearty and warming chile verde that is practically hands-off. In a rush? Try the pressure-cooker version of this recipe, instead.

Time 3h25m

Yield Serves 4 to 6

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 1/4 pounds pork shoulder, cut into thirds
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 to 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 large onion, thinly sliced
1 can (7 ounces) diced green chiles, such as Goya
1 jar (15 ounces) medium green salsa, such as Xochitl (1 3/4 cups)
Tortilla chips, cilantro, sour cream, cotija cheese, and sliced radishes, serrano or jalapeño chiles, and avocado, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Season pork with salt and pepper. Heat a medium Dutch oven (6 to 8 quarts) over medium-high. Swirl in 2 tablespoons oil. Working in batches, brown pork all over, 16 to 20 minutes total (adding remaining oil when needed). Let pork cool slightly, then cut into 1-inch chunks.
  • Return Dutch oven to medium-high heat. Add onion, season with salt and pepper, and sauté until translucent, about 3 minutes. Return pork to Dutch oven along with canned chiles, salsa, and 1/2 cup water. Bring to a boil, then cover and transfer to oven. Roast until pork is very tender, about 2 1/2 hours.
  • Let stand 10 minutes; skim fat with a spoon and serve with various accompaniments on the side.

Delicious, and folks ask for the recipe.

AWESOMELY EASY CHILE VERDE

I love Chile Verde recipes and a good friend of mine used to make a variation of this recipe in college. I tried to doctor it up and give it a better taste profile and think I accomplished it. I made this for my boyfriend and I, four days ago and we've been eating it slowly, as it's so delicious we don't want it to be over! Hope you enjoy it as much as we have been :)

Time 30m

2 tablespoons oil
1 lb pork roast
1 medium yellow onion
1 celery rib
16 ounces herdez salsa verde
8 ounces of la victoria diced green chilies
8 ounces el pato hot sauce
1 lime
1 teaspoon cumin
celery salt

Steps:

  • Cut your pork roast into bite-sized cubes while your oil is heating in a large saute pan.
  • While the pork is browning, dice your celery and onion.
  • Once the pork is browned, add in the onion and celery.
  • After your onion, celery and pork have cooked down a bit, add in the salsa verde, diced green chiles and El Pato (I use the jalapeno version for this recipe. It's the one that comes in the green can). Add as much of this as you'd like,but take heed that it's warmer than the other salsas.
  • Stir together and let simmer.
  • Juice the lime into the mix, season with the celery salt, add the cumin and mix.
  • I love to serve this with sour cream, diced cilantro and shaved cabbage (red or green works great). It also goes well with these tortillas:http://www.recipezaar.com/65491.

EASY GREEN CHILIE ( CHILE VERDE) OAMC



Easy Green Chilie ( Chile Verde) OAMC image

I love, love, love green chilies! This is my simple and GREAT tasting green chilie. I use ingredients that most everyone should be able to find in their hometown grocery stores. You can use this in so many different dishes. I like to eat is as just a soup on cold days. I also freeze any left overs to use in any Mexican dish that calls for salsa. Great over pork or chicken enchiladas, chimichangas, or you can melt with cheese to make a great dip. I do not use any oil in this recipe and you never even miss it.
