Best Pork And Poblano Chili Recipes

PORK AND POBLANO GREEN CHILI POT

Steps:

• Char the poblano peppers all over by placing the peppers on stovetop burners or under a hot broiler until black, turning frequently. Place the charred peppers in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap to steam them as they cool. Rub the skins off the poblanos and jalapenos with paper towel or peel by hand, then seed the peppers and chop.
• Meanwhile, heat the extra-virgin olive oil in a medium-size Dutch oven over medium heat, add the onions and sweat 10 minutes then add the garlic and tomatillos and cook 10 minutes more; season with salt and pepper. Place the cooked onion-tomatillo mixture in a food processor with cilantro, cumin, honey, and puree. Add the puree back to the Dutch oven, then stir in the chopped peppers and chicken stock. Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce the heat to low for the flavors to combine. Slice and finely chop the cooked pork and stir into the chili. When the soup returns to a bubble, turn off the stove, cool completely and store for make-ahead meal.
• To reheat the chili: Place in covered pot over medium heat and cook until the pork comes to a bubble, stir in the juice of 1 lime and turn off the heat. Slice the remaining lime into wedges and serve alongside the chili.
• For the cheesy polenta: In medium saucepan, bring the chicken stock and milk to a boil. Whisk in the polenta, stirring until the polenta just pulls from the side of the pot. Stir in the Manchego cheese and serve warm.

Steps:

• For chili:
• Heat olive oil in heavy large pot over medium heat. Add chopped onions and garlic and cook until onions are translucent, stirring often, about 8 minutes. Add chili powder and ground cumin and stir 1 minute. Add 14 cups water, black beans, dried oregano, and grated orange peel. Bring mixture to boil; reduce heat to medium-low, cover with lid slightly ajar, and simmer until black beans are tender, about 2 hours. Add chipotle chiles and season chili to taste with salt. Simmer until black beans are creamy, mashing coarsely with potato masher to desired consistency, adding more water by 1/2 cupfuls if too thick, and stirring frequently, about 30 minutes longer.

Cook until pork is tender, stirring occasionally, about 40 minutes. Transfer to another medium bowl.

PORK AND POBLANO CHILI RECIPE - (4.7/5)

Steps:

• 1 MAKE-AHEAD: Chili is best made 1 to 3 days before serving, since the flavor builds as it sits. Refrigerate in a covered container and gently reheat when ready to serve. 2 Pulse poblano peppers in a food processor until finely chopped but not puréed; transfer to a large bowl. Pulse onion, bell pepper, jalapeño, and garlic in food processor until finely chopped but not puréed. Strain to remove any excess liquid and combine vegetables with poblano peppers. 3 Heat oil in a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add pepper mixture, reduce heat to medium, and cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are well softened, 10 to 12 minutes. Stir in pork, broth, tomatoes and their liquid, and cumin. 4 Bring to a simmer, partially cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer gently, stirring occasionally, until pork is very tender, about 2 hours. Add beans and cook until heated through, about 10 minutes more. Serve hot or warm. Makes 16 (1 cup) servings
