Time 1h50m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 17

½ cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon ground cumin
1 (3 pound) boneless pork shoulder roast, trimmed of excess fat and cut into 1-inch cubes
2 tablespoons olive oil, or more if needed
1 large onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups chopped fresh tomatillos
1 (7 ounce) can diced green chiles, drained
2 fresh jalapeno peppers, seeded and chopped
2 teaspoons dried marjoram
½ cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 cup water
1 pinch salt, or to taste
2 tablespoons sour cream, divided
6 sprigs cilantro

Steps:

  • Stir together the flour, 1 teaspoon salt, pepper, and cumin in a large bowl. Place the cubed pork into the mixture, and stir well to coat the meat with the seasonings.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy pan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat until the oil shimmers. Working in batches if necessary, place the meat into the hot pan in a single layer. Pan-fry the pork until brown on all sides, about 15 minutes. Remove the pork to a bowl, and cover to keep warm.
  • Cook and stir the onion in the hot pan over medium heat, adding more olive oil if necessary, until the onion is translucent and beginning to brown, about 7 minutes. Return the meat to the pan and stir in the garlic, tomatillos, chiles, marjoram, chopped cilantro, and water. Check seasoning and add 1 pinch of salt to taste, if needed. Cover and simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the meat is tender, about 1 hour. Skim excess fat off the stew before serving in bowls, garnished with a dollop of sour cream and a cilantro sprig on each bowl.

Time 2h50m

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 pounds pork loin or pork shoulder (, trimmed of fat and cut into 1'' pieces)
salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 Tablespoons oil ((vegetable or canola oil))
1 large yellow onion (, chopped)
3 cloves garlic (, minced)
1/2 Tablespoon ground cumin
1/2 Tablespoon dried oregano leaves
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
4 fresh poblano chiles (, seeded and sliced in half)
2 fresh jalapeño peppers (, seeded and sliced in half (*see note))
1.5 pounds fresh tomatillos (, husks removed)
1/2 cup fresh cilantro (, coarsely chopped)

Steps:

  • Season pork pieces on all sides with salt and pepper.
  • Heat a large stock pot over high heat. Add oil. Once hot, sear the pork pieces until browned on all sides.
  • Remove the pork from the pot. Add a little additional oil to pan, if needed.
  • Add onion and saute until tender. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
  • Stir in the cumin and oregano. Return pork to the pot and add the chicken broth.
  • Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 2-4 hours.
  • Meanwhile, make the sauce.
  • Place rack on second to top level of oven and turn the oven to high broil.
  • Lightly spray a jelly roll pan with cooking oil. Wash the poblano peppers, jalapeños and tomatillos.
  • Slice the tomatillo and both types of peppers in half, and remove stems. Seed the peppers and remove the white veins inside if if you do not want the chile verde to be very spicy. (See my note below about spice level). Do not seed the tomatillos.
  • Place the poblano peppers, jalapeño and tomatillos on baking sheets cut side down. Broil for about 7-10 minutes or until browned.
  • Immediately place peppers in a plastic bag and tie the bag. Allow them to steam for 5 minutes, and then peel off their outer layer of skin. (It should come off easily)
  • Add the peppers, tomatillos and cilantro to a blender and puree.
  • Add mixture to the pot with the pork and cook everything together for an additional 30 to 45 minutes.
  • Serve with tortillas, and a side of Mexican rice and beans.

LOW & SLOW PORK VERDE



Low & Slow Pork Verde image

My family loves this versatile pork dish. We like to have it over a serving of cheesy grits, but it also goes well with rice or potatoes. Leftovers make an excellent starter for white chili. -Val Ruble, Ava, Missouri
