My version of Pork Chili Verde

Postby DerHusker » Sun Aug 12, 2012 1:47 am

After seeing philpom’s Fajitas post I decided it was time to try my take on Pork Chili Verde. I’ve wanted to do this for some time now. (This is a combination of a couple of recipes I got off of YouTube)

First off I know real Chili Verde doesn’t have beans in it but my wife likes and wanted them so I don’t want to hear it. Secondly, I don’t know how to make a video yet so I’ll let my pics do the talking.

I forgot to soak my pinto beans overnight so I had to boiled 1 lb. on my grill for 1 hour and then let them soak for 2 hours.

Image

Smeared some shorting on my new 9 quart Dutch oven.

Image

And on the grill.

Image

I added 1 ½ lbs. of trimmed pork shoulder to brown.

Image

Image

Took that out and added another 1 ½ lbs. to brown.

Image

Image

Then took 10 tomatillos and 3 heads of garlic and placed them on the grill to roast.

Image

Image

Chopped 1 ½ medium yellow onion, 1 tablespoon chili powder, 1 tsp. cumin, 1 tsp. Mexican oregano & 1 tsp. rosemary flakes.

Image

In go the onions

Image

And stir in the browned pork and let cook 5 min.

Image

Tomatillos and garlic are done (On 5 to 6 min and tomatillos go into a blender)

Image

Pour in 1 Karl Strauss Red Trolley Ale and let cook 5 min.

Image

In go the chili powder, cumin, Mexican oregano & rosemary flakes.

Image

And after 5 min it looks like this.

Image

Chop 1 jalapeno and 6 of the largest cloves of garlic. (The rest gets chopped up and put in the blender with the tomatillos)

Image

In they go and you guessed it, let cook for another 5 min.

Image

And it looks like this

Image

Add 2 cups chicken stock

Image

And the beans.

Image

Cover and let cook for 2 hours stirring every 10 to 15 min.

Image

After ½ hour

Image

After 1 hour (Had to add another 2 cups of chicken stock)

Image

After 1 ½ hours

Image

At this point I add the tomatillos, 1 head of roasted garlic, 2 chopped jalapenos, and 1 bunch of chopped cilantro (which have been blended) and stir.

Image

After 2 hours. (See the meat falling apart? It’s done)

Image

Add 1 bunch of chopped cilantro, turn off the heat and stir one last time.

Image

Heat up some tortillas

Image

And serve it up.

Image

Money shot.

Image

Now that was some fine eating! Fue muy delicioso!

Thanks jrow. This was so good I'm going to have some packages of cut up pork shoulder in the freezer just waiting to get thaw out and go. Seriously good!

That looks great, I especially like how you grilled the tomatillo's and garlic on the grill, that's a nice touch. I'm inspired now! Haha.

Thanks. I've learned a lot by reading this form and I’m glad I could contribute. Regarding the chili, both my wife and I agreed that the heat index could be bumped up a notch. Very tasty the way it is (you could eat it all day, everyday this way) but really could use a little extra zing.

Thanks. I got a suggestion on another site that I'll try next time. He said to also roast the jalapenos and to throw in a couple of roasted poblano peppers as well. Definitely going to try this next time.
