How to Make Chile Verde

Now, I can make red chili seven ways till Sunday (see Cincinnati Chili, New Mexico Chili, Chipotle Garlic Chili or Nick’s No Name Chili) but I’ve never made green chili – or more commonly known as chile verde.

So why now? Well, the mother-in-law sent our Christmas gifts early and when I laid my eyes on a box gift wrapped by Willams & Sonoma I couldn’t resist opening it up a week early. Inside the fancy wrapping and large box was a lime green Le Creuset 5Qt pan!

Lime Green Le Creuset

To break it in, I was determined to whip up the greenest food I could think of, so I pulled all of my chili cookbooks off the shelf and began compiling a recipe, taking my favorite ingredients from each to come up with my shopping list.

Shopping List:
2lbs Pork Loin (cubed)
1 bunch Cilantro
1 large white onion
1 head of garlic
5-6 tomatillos
3 large Anaheim Peppers (get New Mex. Green if you can)
4 Jalapeno Peppers (for heat)
Corn Tortillas
Cheese (garnish)
Lime (for the beer)


Items already on hand:

2 cups chicken broth
White Pepper
Cumin Seeds
Ground Cumin
Jalapeno Powder
Corona’s

Step 1: Cube & Brown the Pork Tenderloin
2lbs Pork Loin

Cubed Pork Loin
Cube the pork (smaller is better here – think taco sized) & then brown in your chili pan (hence forth named Green Giant).


Step 2: Roast the Anaheims & Tomatillos
Roasted Peppers & Tomatillos
Roast your peppers and tomatillos. A regular oven and a cookie sheet will work for this, just place them on the top shelf and crank the heat to 400 or 450. Once done, toss the Anaheim peppers into a paper bag, close the bag and let it sit for about 10 minutes.

Pureed Tomatillos
Pulse the tomatillos in a food processor until slightly chunky. It’s important to do these seperately because they breakdown much easier then the remaining ingredients.

Step 3: Onions, Garlic & Jalapenos
Jalapeno Peppers
Seed and chop the jalapenos and set aside.

Onions & Garlic
By now, the pork should be browned – remove from the pan, and toss into the pan your onions & garlic. Add a little oil to get the flavor off the bottom of the pan as well. Add in your dry ingredients (seasonings to taste).

Step 4: Removing the Skins from the Peppers
Removing the skin from peppers
After about 10 minutes, remove your peppers from the bag and begin gently removing the skins. With these Anaheims, one swift pull on the stem also removed 80% of the seeds as well. Once seeded and skinned, chop and toss into the food processor bowl along with: the chopped jalapenos, a handful of chopped cilantro and 3-4 heads of garlic.

Seriously Green Stuff
Now that’s some serious green!

Step 5: Bring it all together
Chile Verde - Almost done
Once the onions are golden brown, drain the meat and then add back to the pan. Then add the tomatillos & the super green cilantro/pepper mixture.

Chile Verde - Almost done
Add 2 cups of chicken broth, still looking really green. Let simmer for 30-45 minutes.

Step 6: Eat!
Chile Verde - Tacos
After simmering for a bit, a lot of the bright green becomes muted – but the flavor is still there.

Chile Verde - Tacos & Beer
Garnish with cheese & sour cream. Don’t forget the beer either! And the great thing about chile verde? The color exactly matched Blair’s Jalapeno & Tequila Q Heat so no one could see just how much I was putting on my food.
