Ingredients

2 red onions, chopped
1 pound tomatillos, husked, rinsed, and halved
3 jalapenos, stemmed, seeded and halved
2 garlic cloves
4 tablespoons canola oil
2 pounds boneless pork shoulder, cut into 1-inch cubes
5 cups chicken stock
1 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
Salt
Pepper
10 flour tortillas, warmed

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

In a large bowl, toss the onions, tomatillos, jalapenos, and garlic with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and spread on a baking sheet. Roast until soft and starting to brown, about 20 to 30 minutes, stirring twice during roasting.

Meanwhile, in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat, add the oil and heat. Brown the pork, in batches, until well-browned. When browned, add all of the pork back to the pan and cover with chicken stock. Add the roasted vegetables, cover the pan and place in the oven. Cook until the pork is very tender, about 1 1/2 hours.

While pork is cooking, place the cilantro in a food processor. Add 2 tablespoons of water and puree. Remove the pork from the oven and stir in the cilantro puree. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Serve with warm flour tortillas.

"Green Chili"
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

I don't use Jalapeno in my Green Chili Stew what so ever. If you want a great New Mexico version you add the pork meat but... make sure it's coated with flour and brown it in some oil. Add seasonings your choice , onions and some garlic but becareful you don't burn it because it will make the dish bitter then add the chilies for a minute more. . Instead of Jalapeno, I use fresh 5- Poblano New Mexico Chilies roasted and peeled. . If you don't have that in your grocery store then any fresh Green Chili will work Or look in the Mexican isle and get a good quality can of Green Chili. Then start adding a big can of crushed tomatoes, 2 cups of chicken stock and let it simmer for a least 2 hours so the chilies can cook. At the end i add in some fried or roasted crisp potatoes and a couple of cups of freshly pressure cooked pinto beans juice in all.. and whala..this is my version of Authentic Green Chili! with home made TorlillasRead more

just ok

I wish the chili was thicker, it was more of a soup, maybe cooking on the stove would condense the broth.

No Dutch Oven No Problem
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I cooked this dish in a large covered pot on the stove on low heat for 90 min stirring occasionally. The meat was very... tender. However, I thought the soup was a little too thin so I pureed the onions & jalapenos to thicken it. I also added a 1/2 teaspoon of chipotle powder for a little extra heat. Overall, the dish is very good and has a nice depth of flavor. Read more

hominy is a must
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I used center cut pork chops. I did not put it in the oven. I simmered it on the stove. I added some hominy to it. I... don't think it would have been as good without the hominy! I also added oregano and cumin. Before you eat it, put some lemon on it. Yum! Read more

Loved it!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I thought this Chili was great. I added some chili powder to the broth and I let it simmer on the stove for the last 30 to... 40 min's to thicken it up. I also only added 4 cups of broth instead of 5. I put a little bit of honey and cinnamon into the cilantro puree too. Oh, and I used a pork loin roast instead of the pork shoulder bc I could only find the shoulder in HUGE sizes. I thought this was really good and I'll make it again for sure. Read more
