Photo: Braised Pork Green Chili Recipe
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 gallon chicken stock
- 2 pounds braised pork butt, shredded
- 2 cups roasted, seeded and diced green chiles
- 2 tablespoons Cajun spice
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley leaves, minced
- 1 cup medium-diced tomatoes
Directions
Over medium heat in a medium saucepan, heat the butter until melted. Then reduce the heat to low and slowly whisk in the flour to create a roux. Continue to cook until the butter has been absorbed into the flour and is a smooth consistency.
Once the roux has cooked, return the mixture to medium-high heat. Add the stock and allow to simmer, whisking throughout the cooking process. Once simmered and thickened, 8 to 10 minutes, add the pork, chiles, spice and parsley. Allow this to cook for an additional 20 minutes, with reduced heat to medium-low. Finally, add the tomatoes and cook for a final 10 minutes. Taste and adjust spice to preference.

Pretty good recipe overall. I used about half of the recommended amount of chicken stock.
Also added 4 jalapenos and some of the juice from the braised pork I made.
I like my green chili a little bit thicker though. :
Thanks for the great recipe Mr. Irvine.

I love this recipe and it is so easy to make. Tasted like an old family recipe you know comfort food. I had to make some on quick notice and I ran to the Mexican groceries and brought some alredy made carnitas . I shreded it and put into the chili and served with fresh homemade corn totillas . It was a hit.

I made this one today and it is my new FAVORITE! I did without the cajun seasoning and used cilantro instead of parsley. I used tomatillos and green hot peppers. Instead of using chicken broth, I used the broth from cooking the pork. This is an awesome dish! I never imagined that it would taste so good! The only thing I would do differently next time is to make MORE!
