Green Chili Verde
- 3 lbs country-style boneless pork ribs, roughly cubed 1/2 to 3/4
- 3 tablespoons oil
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 2 teaspoons minced fresh garlic cloves
- 1 (29 ounce) can diced tomatoes with juice
- 2 (4 ounce) cans diced green chilies
- 2 (10 ounce) cans green enchilada sauce
- 8 medium tomatillos, diced
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 2 medium potatoes, shredded
- 1 (16 ounce) can pinto beans, drained
- 2 tablespoons ground cumin
- 2 tablespoons chili powder
- 12 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- 2 cups monterey jack cheese, shredded (optinal)
- 16 ounces salsa (optional)
- 16 ounces sour cream (optional)
- 16 ounces tortillas (optional)
- Brown pork in oil over high heat in a large pot in 2 batches.
- When the second batch is browned add the onions to it, cook for 4 min stirring a few times to soften the onions.
- Add back the first batch of browned meat and all the remaining ingredients up to (including) the black pepper to the pot and bring to a boil over high heat stirring often.
- Optional: Some people like some heat in their food, my family does not.
- If you want a kick in this recipe dice up 2 oz of pickled jalapeno slices from a jar, and add them in with the rest of the ingredients at this point.
- 2 oz is just a recommendation; its really a matter of personal preference on your part.
- Reduce heat until you get a nice simmer and cook uncovered for 60 minutes stirring a few times.
- If you cook it longer the meat will get mushy so I would not recommend it.
- Taste it now and if you feel it needs any salt or spices this is the time add them.
- Remember: everything that came from a can, plus the chicken broth has salt in it, so I did not add salt to the ingredients list.
- To serve, add chili to a bowl, put a good spoonful of salsa on top of chili on one side of the bowl and do the same on the other side using sour cream.
- Sprinkle some cheddar or Monterey Jack on top and serve with warmed soft tortillas.
- Enjoy.
