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.

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

Too watery and tart
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

This chili is okay, but not great. My only change to the recipe was to use 2 TBS. of chopped jalapeno from a jar, so maybe... the vinegar that's added in helped make it tart. Some other reviewers mentioned tart also. I was hoping for a thick, sweet. spicy green chili stew. Next time I'll use whole jalapenos and not from a jar and I'll add some green peppers, then really roast it with the onions till they're almost black and really sweet. I'll add a little cumin and a little chili powder. Maybe saute the pork in a little flour first too. I liked blending up the veggies in the blender (you don't have to blend them all but I like the texture) but not blend up the pork. I like the pork chunky. So I'll try it again but will definitely make these changes. Read more

Good, but better with add-ins
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

First I tossed the pork in flour, salt and pepper and then browned it in the pot before adding the roasted veggies. I also... substituted some of the chicken stock for beer. I added 2 cans of beer and omited as much in chicken stock. I added 2 tablespoons of cumin and 1 tablespoon of chili powder. I thought the roasted veggies were a bit too tangy. Maybe the tomatillos I had were over ripe or something, so I added a tablespoon of sugar to balance out the sourness If yours are not sour, don't add the sugar. Simmered for a half hour. Then I added the cilantro at the end as the recipe called for. I want to tell you, this way is a five star rating. I'm not kidding!!!Read more

Great SIDE dish
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I thought this was a very good chili, although it cooks up to look more like a soup. The wonderful flavor had a little spicey... taste without the heat. If you like the heat, I would had more peppers or a little spice. I doubled the portion of meat, which was very tender. I had garlic bread with homemade garlic butter to dip in the chili. Very Good! This was an excellent side dish at the Super Bowl buffet. It was finished off before the game started!Read more
