Chile Verde Recipe

Chile Verde

From mbeards2 15 years ago

I just made this tonight and it filled the house with aroma! The recipe comes from "Just North of the Border: A Cookbook of Southwestern Cuisines".

2 cups green New Mexico or Anaheim chiles which have been roasted, peeled, stems and seed removed, chopped fine shopping list
2 pounds pork stew meat, cut into 1 1/2-inch cubes shopping list
1 large onion, chopped shopping list
1 teaspoon chopped garlic shopping list
2 large tomatoes, peeled and chopped shopping list
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin shopping list
4 cups of water shopping list
salt to taste shopping list

Brown the pork in some oil, add the onions and garlic and saute until the onions are soft.
Remove from the pan and pour in one cup of water to deglaze it.
Combine all the ingredients in a large pot or crock pot, bring it to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 2 hours or until the meat is very tender and starts to fall apart.
NOTES:Since it's still winter and good, fresh tomatoes are hard to find, I used a 1 pint jar of tomatoes that I canned last summer. Same for the chiles, I used chiles that I canned from last summer. Frozen ones would work too.

This is virtually identical to the green chile my sister-in-law used to make. Thank you for posting it.

The trick to freezing green chiles is to roast them first. If you have a barbeque grill, you roast them that way. You can use your broiler too. You roast them until the skin begins to blister, don't let them get charred. Turn them so they are evenly roasted. Then put the roasted chiles in a plastic bag or other container so that they steam a little. The skins slip right off. If you plan on freezing them, leave the skins on. They maintain their flavor better that way.
