Chili Verde

A mild chili verde that is easy, filling and feeds a lot. The longer you cook over a low heat, the more tender the pork is. My 16 year old son who used this recipe in a dutch oven contest (and won) swears by pork shoulder instead of stew meat - he says the extra fat is necessary for the roux. Read more See less
Ingredients
- 5 pounds boneless pork (I use stew meat) shopping list
- 1 chopped onion shopping list
- 1/2 cup finely chopped celery shopping list
- 2 green onion, chopped including green shopping list
- 1 green bell pepper, chopped shopping list
- 2 cloves garlic minced shopping list
- 2 tablespoons oil shopping list
- 1/4 cup flour shopping list
- 4 cups water shopping list
- 1 (7 oz) can tomatillos (fresh work too) shopping list
- 2 cups canned chopped green chilis shopping list
How to make it
- Brown cubed pork - stirring to cook all cubes - (you can add more coals to bottom to quickly brown)
- When browned, add onion, celery, green onion, bell pepper, and garlic. - remove extra coals from bottom - use 6 on the bottom
- Stir and cook about 10 minutes, until veggies are soft.
- Push mixture to one side of the oven (or remove).
- Add 2 tablespoons oil to pan juices.
- Stir flour to make roux - stir until flour mixture is light tan.
- Add 4 cups of water including juice from chilis to make a smooth gravy, stirring in the meat mixture. If you use the juice from the tomatillos subtract that amount of water.
- Bring to a boil and stir until mixture thickens. If mixture is too thick, add more water in small increments.
- Add tomatillos and green chili.
- Add salt to taste.
- Simmer for at least 30 minutes. (I have cooked this up to 3 hours on a low heat and it melts in your mouth)
- If it is too watery add arrowroot or cornstarch to thicken.

Welcome to GR Scouter. This is a great recipe - bookmarking it now. I haven't tried cooking over coals, but I've used several dutch oven recipes using the stovetop (or oven when appropriate) for the heat source. Looking forward to more of these fr...more
