Best Tomatillo Pork Roast Recipes
TOMATILLO PORK ROAST
I had planned to make green chile Colorado this morning, but found that I was lacking most of the ingredients required. After playing 'I could substitute this' and 'I could use that instead', I realized that I had created a brand new recipe. Serve with warm tortillas, avocado, lettuce, tomato, and sour cream.

Steps:
- For the pork butt, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Melt the lard in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Cut the pork butt into 2-inch cubes. Add the pork to the pot and allow the meat to slowly brown. Season the pork with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Peel and quarter the yellow onion. Add the onion and garlic to the pot with the pork.
- Combine the cinnamon, turmeric, chile powder and crushed coriander and set aside. Continue to allow the pork to brown and caramelize.
- While the pork is browning, start the tomatillo salsa by heating a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil to the pan. Add the halved tomatillos, the outer strips of the jalapeños, halved onions and garlic, and cook until tender.
- Add the spices to the browned pork. Check the ingredients for the tomatillo salsa, the tomatillos and chiles will cook faster than the onion, so you can remove them to a bowl if necessary. Add ¼ cup (60ml) water to the pan to finish cooking the onions. Remove onions when softened. Cover the bowl with the cooked salsa ingredients.
- For the coleslaw, slice both cabbages and put in a large bowl. Add the juice of two limes, mirin, salt and fresh ginger, and toss to combine. Cover with plastic wrap and let sit, tossing every 30 minutes, until the cabbage is slightly cooked by the seasonings.*Browning the pork will take about 20 to 25 minutes. Once the pork is sufficiently browned, add 1 to 2 cups of water to the pot, bring the water to a simmer, transfer the pot to the oven (preheated to 375 degrees F) and bake until the pork is fork tender about 1.5 hours, checking every 15 minutes.
- To finish the salsa, transfer the tomatillo mixture to a blender and puree until chunky, adding 1 tablespoon (15ml) water at a time, if necessary. Season with salt and pepper. The salsa can be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
- Check the pork, and continue roasting uncovered to finish the caramelization process. Remove the pork butt from the oven and flake into large chunks with a fork. Make tacos with the pork in warm corn tortillas, garnished with the coleslaw, salsa, sour cream and cilantro. Serve with lime wedges.
PORK ROAST WITH TOMATILLO CREAM SAUCE
Moist and full of great flavor, we loved this pork roast. It does take a bit of extra time to prepare because of the sauce, but it's very simple. The sauce is pretty mild, so if you like a bit of heat we'd recommend adding the second jalapeno. Serve over rice with a bit of the cream sauce and you have a delicious dinner.

Steps:
- 1. Place a large nonstick pan over medium high heat. Place the tomatillos and garlic cut side down in the pan. After 3-5 minutes, or until the tomatillos are dark brown, flip them all over and cook another 3-5 minutes.
- 2. Scrape into a blender and let come to room temperature (about 5 minutes). Add peppers, onion, salt, and cilantro. Blend until smoothly chopped. If necessary add 2 tbsp water.
- 3. Trim large fat pieces off your roast. Completely season the entire roast with Alpine Touch or a salt mix of your choice. Let it sit for 2-3 minutes. Coat the outside with the tomatillo sauce. You will pour remaining sauce in the slow cooker. Place the roast in your slow cooker.
- 4. Cook on low for 10 hours or until the roast pulls apart easily. Once done, carefully scrape most of the tomatillo sauce off the roast. Place the roast on a serving tray and cover with foil.
- 5. Turn slow-cooker on high or pour liquid into a saucepan, scraping all the good pieces from the bottom. Mix the cornstarch and cold water together and whisk into sauce. Turn down heat to low and, after thickening, stir in the sour cream. Taste and add salt as needed.
- 6. Serve pork roast with potatoes or rice. Ladle sauce over pork and potatoes/rice.
