BRAISED PORK WITH TOMATILLOS
A pork braise is a sure way to make people's mouths water. The tomatillos in this dish offer a subtle hint of lightness to the meat. For ultimate flavor, make the dish one day ahead and reheat. -La Boucherie, Matthew Lawrence, Vashon, Washington

Add tomatillos and onion to the pan; saute until tomatillos are tender and lightly charred. Add the garlic and crushed spices; cook 1 minute longer., Add wine, stirring to loosen browned bits from pan. Stir in 8 cups broth and return roast to pan. Bring to a boil. Cover and bake at 350° until pork is tender, 3 to 3-1/2 hours., Meanwhile, in a large heavy saucepan, bring broth to a boil. Reduce heat to a gentle boil; slowly whisk in cornmeal.

TOMATILLO-BRAISED PORK LOIN WITH WHITE BEANS AND BACON
Steps:
- In a medium-size saucepan, combine the beans with a generous 3 cups of water, add the herbs and bay leaves, partially cover and set over high heat. When the pot comes to a good rolling boil, reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer the beans very gently (partially covered) until they are tender, about 1 hour. Add more water if the beans ever begin peeking up above the surface of the water. While the beans cook, in a medium-size (6-quart) Dutch oven, cook the bacon slices over medium heat, turning them occasionally, until thoroughly crispy. Remove to drain on paper towels; when cool, crumble. Tip up the Dutch oven slightly on one end and spoon off most of the fat that collects, adding it to the simmering beans. Heat the oven to 325 degrees. If your pork loin roast is in two sections that have been tied together, untie them. Sprinkle the meat liberally with salt. Set the Dutch oven over medium-high heat, and, when quite hot, lay in the pork. Brown thoroughly on all sides, about 10 minutes total, then pour in the salsa. Set on the pot's cover and place in the oven. Cook until the pork registers about 150° on a meat or instant-read thermometer-the meat will feel rather firm (not hard) to the touch, and cutting into the center will reveal only the slightest hint of pink. The total cooking time should be about 40 minutes. When the beans are tender, season them with salt, usually about 1 teaspoon. Let stand a few minutes for the beans to absorb the seasoning, then drain off their cooking liquid. Remove the pork to a cutting board, add the beans to the pork pot, set over medium heat and season with salt. Slice the pork, laying the slices slightly overlapping on a warm serving platter. Spoon the beans and sauce around the meat, sprinkle everything with the crumbled bacon, garnish with herb sprigs, and carry to the table.
TOMATILLO PORK ROAST
I had planned to make green chile Colorado this morning, but found that I was lacking most of the ingredients required. After playing 'I could substitute this' and 'I could use that instead', I realized that I had created a brand new recipe. Serve with warm tortillas, avocado, lettuce, tomato, and sour cream.
