Pork Chile Verde is a delicious Mexican dish made with tender pieces of pork cooked in a savory green sauce made from tomatillos, green chilies, onions, garlic, and spices.

Here's a recipe you can try:

Ingredients:

  • 2 pounds pork shoulder, trimmed and cut into bite-size pieces
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 pound tomatillos, husked and rinsed
  • 2-3 jalapeño peppers, seeded and chopped
  • 1 can (4 ounces) chopped green chilies
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • Chopped fresh cilantro, for garnish

Instructions:

Season the pork with salt and pepper to taste. In a large Dutch oven or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the pork and cook until browned on all sides, about 8-10 minutes. Transfer the pork to a plate and set aside.

Add the onion and garlic to the same pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the tomatillos, jalapeño peppers, green chilies, chicken broth, cumin, oregano, and coriander. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes.


Transfer the mixture to a blender and puree until smooth. Return the mixture to the pot and add the pork back in. Simmer for 45-60 minutes or until the pork is tender and the sauce has thickened.

Stir in the lime juice and season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve with rice and garnish with chopped cilantro.

Note: You can adjust the amount of jalapeño peppers to your preferred level of spiciness.
