Pork Chile Verde

Carne de Puerco en Chile Verde 


Pork Chile Verde
Pork Chile Verde

Here's a versatile recipe that you're going to love! It's super easy to make and can be used in many ways. Plus, it's one of my personal favorites! Chile Verde is prepared with tender pork chunks simmered in a scrumptious broth made with tomatillos and green peppers. Served in a bowl with rice and beans with a warm flour tortilla. Use leftovers as a gordita filling, sopes, tacos, filling for tamales, or even wrapped up in a burrito with rice and cheese. 


Ingredients:

  • 4-5 Lbs pounds pork shoulder, cut into bite-sized chunks
  • 10-12 Tomatillos 
  • 5-6 Serrano Peppers or Jalapeñoa ( NOTE: Serrano peppers possess a higher level of spiciness compared to jalapeños)
  • 2 Poblano Peppers 
  • 1/2 White Onion 
  • 3-4 Garlic Cloves 
  • Salt & Pepper 
  • One Tsp Cumin 
  • One Tsp Thyme 
  • One Tbsp Mexican Oregano 
  • 1 Cup of Water 
  • 4 Cups of Vegetable or Chicken Broth 
  • Chicken or Beef Bouillon as needed
  • Vegetable Oil or Manteca as Needed 
  • Cilantro for Garnishing 


Instructions: 



  1. Cut the meat into small bite-size pieces, then generously season with black pepper and salt. 
  2. Heat a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the meat and water and cook for an hour or until the water has simmered. After the water has thoroughly simmered, the remaining fat from the meat will be apparent, depending on its initial fat content. Add vegetable oil or manteca and lightly sear the pork meat if no fat is evident. 
  3. As the meat is cooking, prepare the sauce. First, peel and rinse the tomatillos and peppers, then pat them dry with a paper towel. Place the tomatillos, jalapeños, poblanos, onion, garlic, and serrano peppers on a baking sheet. It's essential to keep the garlic skin on to avoid burning. Broil on high for approximately 12-15 minutes, turning them over halfway. Another option is to air fry the poblano peppers or broil them over an open flame.
  4. After taking the baking sheet out of the oven, allow it to cool for about 10-15 minutes or until the poblanos are comfortable to handle. Remove the skin from the poblano peppers as much as possible, trim off the stem, and remove the seeds. Remove the seeds from the serrano peppers if you prefer a milder taste. (Note: If removing the serrano seeds, use gloves) 
  5. Blend the peppers and the tomatillos with 3 cups of water or vegetable broth. Reserve the remainder of the broth to rinse the residue from the blender. 
  6. After searing the meat, sprinkle Mexican oregano, cumin, and thyme. Stir in the blended salsa verde, scraping the bottom of the pot so you get all the brown bits. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 30 minutes or until the pork is tender. Taste it and add salt or bouillon as needed. 
  7. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and serve with rice or warm flour tortillas.

¡Aquí tienes una receta versátil que te encantará! Es muy fácil de hacer y se puede utilizar de muchas maneras. Además, ¡es uno de mis favoritos personales! El Chile Verde se prepara con tiernos trozos de cerdo cocidos a fuego lento en un delicioso caldo elaborado con tomatillos y pimientos verdes. Servido en un bowl con arroz y frijoles con una tortilla de harina tibia. Usa las sobras como relleno de gordita, tamales, sopes, tacos o incluso envueltas en un burrito con arroz y queso.

Ingredientes:

  • 4-5 libras de paleta de cerdo, cortada en trozos pequeños
  • 10-12 tomatillos 
  • 5-6 chiles serranos o jalapeños (NOTA: los chiles serranos poseen un mayor nivel de picante en comparación con los jalapeños)
  • 2 chiles poblanos
  • 1/2 cebolla blanca
  • 3-4 dientes de ajo
  • Sal pimienta al gusto 
  • Una cucharadita de comino
  • Una cucharadita de tomillo
  • Una cucharada de orégano mexicano
  • Una taza de agua
  • 4 Tazas de Caldo de Verduras o Pollo
  • Caldo de pollo o carne según sea necesario
  • Aceite vegetal o manteca según sea necesario
  • Cilantro para adornar

Instrucciones:

  1. Corte la carne en trozos pequeños y luego sazone generosamente con pimienta negra y sal.
  2. Calienta una sartén grande a fuego medio-alto. Agrega la carne y la taza de agua. Cocine durante una hora o hasta que el agua se evapore por completo. Después de que el agua haya hervido completamente, la grasa restante de la carne será evidente, dependiendo de su contenido de grasa inicial. Agrega aceite vegetal o manteca y dora ligeramente la carne de cerdo si no aolto grasa la carne. ientras se cocina la carne, prepara la salsa. Primero, pela y enjuaga los tomatillos y los pimientos, luego sécalos con una toalla de papel. Coloque los tomatillos, los jalapeños, los poblanos, la cebolla, el ajo y los chiles serranos en una bandeja para hornear. Es fundamental dejar los ajos con la piel para evitar que se quemen. Asar en el horno a 500 grados Fahrenheit durante aproximadamente 12 a 15 minutos, dándoles la vuelta a la mitad. Otra opción es freír los chiles poblanos al aire o asarlos a fuego abierto.
  3. Después de sacar la bandeja para hornear del horno, déjala enfriar durante unos 10 a 15 minutos o hasta que los poblanos sean cómodos para quitarles la piel de los chiles poblanos tanto como sea posible, corte el tallo y retire las semillas. Si prefieres un sabor menos picoso, puedes quitarle las semillas a los chiles serranos. (Nota: si retira las semillas del serrano, use guantes)
  4. Licúa los pimientos y los tomatillos con 3 tazas de agua o caldo de verduras. Reserva el resto del caldo para enjuagar los residuos de la licuadora.
  5. Después de dorar la carne, espolvorea orégano mexicano, comino y tomillo. Agrega la salsa verde, raspando el fondo de la olla para obtener todos los trozitos de la carne que se pegaros al fondo de la olla. Llevar a ebullición, reducir el fuego a bajo y cocinar a fuego lento durante 30 minutos o hasta que la carne de cerdo esté tierna. Pruébalo y agrega sal o caldo de pollo o res en polvo según sea necesario.
  6. Adorne con cilantro recién picado y sirva con arroz o tortillas de harina calientes.

    Tacos Envenenados - Poisoned Tacos

    Yes, you read the title correctly! These simple but tasty tacos originated back in the early 1950s. Don Lauro from Zacatecas, Mexico (where I was born), first began selling his tacos in the streets of Zacatecas. Each time he was asked what was in the tacos, he would simply reply, Veneno, which translates to poison. My mom made these for us, but her recipe was a little different. Let me know what you think if you decide to make them.

    Discada for Tacos

    Discada is a plate typically made on a large, concave metal disc called a disco. It's a very versatile dish prepared with different cuts of meat which usually consists of chicken, beef, pork, chorizo, ham, hot dogs, and veggies. The perfect dish to prepare for tailgating, birthdays, or any other occasion when you have a large crowd to feed. I especially enjoy this dish because the ingredients are never the same, and it can be prepared with ingredients you already have on hand. Add or take away ingredients to make it as unique to your taste and needs.
