Pork Chile Verde!!! 

Ingredients

• 2 lb Pork Shoulder (trimmed, cut into 2‑inch cubes)
• 8 whole Fresh Green Chilies (large Hatch or Anaheim chilies, roasted and peeled)
• 1 large Onion (diced)
• 4 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 2 tsp Cumin Powder (ground)
• 1 tsp Dried Oregano
• 4 cup Chicken Broth (low‑sodium)
• 2 tbsp Olive Oil (for searing)
• 1 tsp Salt
• ½ tsp Black Pepper (freshly ground)

Instructions

1. Roast the Green Chilies

   Preheat the oven to 450°F. Place the whole chilies on a baking sheet and roast for about 15 minutes, turning once, until the skins are blistered and charred.

   Time: PT15M

   Temperature: 450°F

2. Peel, Seed, and Blend

   Transfer the hot chilies to a bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel for 5 minutes, then peel off the skins, discard stems and seeds, and blend the flesh with 1 cup of chicken broth until smooth.

   Time: PT10M

3. Prepare the Pork

   Pat the pork shoulder cubes dry, season with salt, pepper, cumin, and oregano, and set aside.

   Time: PT10M

4. Sear the Pork

   Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium‑high heat. Add the pork in batches, searing each side until deep brown, about 3‑4 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.

   Time: PT10M

5. Sauté Aromatics

   In the same pot, add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook an additional 30 seconds.

   Time: PT5M

6. Combine Liquids and Simmer

   Stir in the roasted chili puree, the remaining 3 cups of chicken broth, and return the seared pork to the pot. Bring to a gentle simmer.

   Time: PT5M

7. Slow Cook Until Tender

   Cover the pot and transfer to a low setting (or move to a pre‑heated 250°F oven) and cook for 3 hours, or until the pork is fork‑tender and shreds easily.

   Time: PT3H

   Temperature: 250°F

8. Finish and Serve

   Taste and adjust salt or pepper as needed. Ladle the chili into bowls and garnish with fresh cilantro, lime wedges, or shredded cheese if desired.
