Best Carne De Cerdo Y Chile Verde Recipes

PUERCO CON CHILE VERDE

Steps:

• In a large skillet, add the pork butt, salt, black pepper, lemon pepper, oregano and garlic and cook for 10 minutes. Add the Salsa Verde, cilantro, cumin, green chiles and onions and cook for another 5 minutes. Transfer to a slow cooker, cover and cook on high for 30 minutes. Turn the heat down to low and cook for 3 to 3 1/2 hours.
• In a saucepan, boil the tomatillos, garlic, jalapenos, serrano and half of the onions in 2 cups water until the mixture floats to the top of the saucepan, about 30 minutes. Strain out the pulp and reserve the liquid.
• In a food processor, blend the pulp with the remaining onions, the cilantro, salt and 3/4 cup of the reserved liquid.

CARNE DE CERDO Y CHILE VERDE

Steps:

• In a large skillet or stew type pot with lid, Heat oil/fat on medium heat till hot. Add cubed pork meat. Sprinkle in seasonings, except salt, (save the salt for when the dish is completely done). sear pork in pan till carmel brown on all sides. Then add the Peppers, Onions, tomitillos, and a little water to help cook it all down. Cook covered on medium to low heat until meat is tender. Add water as needed till all the items in the dish cook down to a fine green sauce and the meat is tender. Then cook the sauce uncovered till it is somewhat thickened. This takes about 45 minutes to an hour. Serve with Tortillas, & beans. To make this dish after a hard day of work, I found it easier to cut up the Tomitillos, Onions and Peppers , Cilantro and put in a zip lock back ahead of time and freeze. I do the same by cubing the pork in advance and freezing it. NOTE: This dish is on the HOT side, to make in milder, you can delete or substitute the serano peppers with jalapenos.

CHILE VERDE CON CERDO (GREEN CHILI WITH PORK)

Steps:

• Simmer roast in a large pan until meat is tender and removes from the bone easily. (You can also use diced pork, or pork cube steaks (cut to bite size pieces), browned in the pot with the onion and garlic before adding the rest of the ingredients).
• Cool meat enough to handle.
• Cube cooked pork into bite size pieces.
• Process 1/2 of the green chilies and tomatillos until smooth.
• In the same large pan, melt the lard or bacon grease (or heat oil).
• Add onions and garlic; sauté until tender but not brown.
• Stir flour into the onion, garlic and fat until flour absorbs the oil or fat.
• Add broth or water.
• Cook and stir until mixture comes to boil and is slightly thickened.
• Add cubed meat, drained tomatoes (if desired), chopped tomatillos, chopped green chilies, processed tomatillos and chilies, and jalapeños (if desired; I recommend tasting first).
• Add the spices a little at a time until you get the taste you like, bringing to a simmer before each addition.
• Simmer for at least 1 hour (longer if you can afford the time), stirring occasionally to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
• If you want more of a stew type chili, add cubed potatoes 20 minutes before serving; serve with warm tortillas.
• Serve over burritos and garnish with cheese, lettuce, tomatoes and sour cream.
• Leave pork out for a vegetarian green chili sauce.
