CHILE VERDE (LA FRONTERA STYLE)



Chile Verde (La Frontera Style) image

This is my recreation of the chile verde made by La Frontera restaurants in Salt Lake City. It is best served over bean burritos, with shredded cheese, diced onions, and salsa as desired. Note: I am not associated with La Frontera; I created this recipe myself, with the goal of recreating the flavor of their chile verde.

Time 5h

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 pounds pork
6 jalapeno peppers small
6 serrano peppers
3 anaheim peppers optional
8 tomatillos
1 sweet onion large
0.5 cup cilantro fresh
1 tbsp garlic minced
1 4-oz can green chilis
1 10-oz can diced tomatoes
1 14-ounce can tomato sauce
2 cups chicken broth
1 tsp oregano
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp chili powder
2 tbsp corn starch
1/4 cup Flour for browning the pork.
1 teaspoon Salt for browning the pork.
1 teaspoon Pepper for browning the pork.

Steps:

  • Cut the pork into small chunks. You can use pork roast, pork loin, or Boston butt. Husk the tomatillos, de-stem them, and cut them into large chunks. Cut the jalapenos, Anaheim peppers, and Serrano peppers into large chunks. Put tomatillos and peppers and cilantro in a food processor, puree them all. Add the can of green chilis, diced tomatos, and tomato sauce to the food processor. Continue blending until the mixture is a consistant color. Pour the vegetable puree into a crock-pot. Add the chicken broth, oregano, cumin, and chili powder. Turn the crock-pot on high and cover. Dust the pork with flour, salt and pepper. Heat 2 Tbsp. olive oil, shortening, or lard in a frying pan. Add the garlic and onions, sauté until the onions are tender. Add the pork, brown it thoroughly. Pour the entire pan's contents (including drippings) into the crock-pot. Cook in the crock-pot on high for 2 hours. After 2 hours, reduce the heat to medium or low and cook for at least another 2 hours. For very tender pork, cook on low heat for 8 or more hours. 30 minutes before serving, mix the cornstarch with 2 ounces of cold water, and add it to the crock-pot. Add more if you want to thicken it further. Serve over bean burritos. I used flour tortillas, with refried beans, chopped onions, and cheese wrapped inside. Bake the burritos in the oven at 400 for 15-20 minutes (until the tortilla just barely starts to dry out). Cover them with the chili verde and pork, then garnish (or further smother) with onions and cheese.

CHILE VERDE (LA FRONTERA-STYLE)



Chile Verde (La Frontera-Style) image

Because you can never have enough chile verde recipes , today we're running Marcus Grymme's recipe for DeeAnn Haroldsen and Bethany Layton and all you other La Puente and La Frontera lovers out there. Grymme used to live in Utah and has spent years sampling chile verdes in other parts of the country and Mexico in an attempt to duplicate the Utah dish until he decided to make his own. After numerous experimental batches, the key, Grymme says, is to use "tomatoes and tomatillos." Grymme thinks this recipe comes pretty close.

AWESOMELY EASY CHILE VERDE



Awesomely Easy Chile Verde image

I love Chile Verde recipes and a good friend of mine used to make a variation of this recipe in college. I tried to doctor it up and give it a better taste profile and think I accomplished it. I made this for my boyfriend and I, four days ago and we've been eating it slowly, as it's so delicious we don't want it to be over! Hope you enjoy it as much as we have been :)

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 30m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons oil
1 lb pork roast
1 medium yellow onion
1 celery rib
16 ounces herdez salsa verde
8 ounces of la victoria diced green chilies
8 ounces el pato hot sauce
1 lime
1 teaspoon cumin
celery salt

Steps:

  • Cut your pork roast into bite-sized cubes while your oil is heating in a large saute pan.
  • While the pork is browning, dice your celery and onion.
  • Once the pork is browned, add in the onion and celery.
  • After your onion, celery and pork have cooked down a bit, add in the salsa verde, diced green chiles and El Pato (I use the jalapeno version for this recipe. It's the one that comes in the green can). Add as much of this as you'd like,but take heed that it's warmer than the other salsas.
  • Stir together and let simmer.
  • Juice the lime into the mix, season with the celery salt, add the cumin and mix.
  • I love to serve this with sour cream, diced cilantro and shaved cabbage (red or green works great). It also goes well with these tortillas:http://www.recipezaar.com/65491.
  • YUMMY! Delicious left overs for a few days too :).

EASY LA VICTORIA CHILE VERDE



Easy La Victoria Chile Verde image

I love chile verde, and I've been impressed by this, the easiest and tastiest recipe I've found. Yes, it cheats a bit by using sauce from a jar (hmmph, you might say!), but sometimes you can achieve really good results from shortcuts. :) This is the recipe I use most often for Chile Verde. Delicious, and folks ask for the recipe.
