I love chile verde, and I've been impressed by this, the easiest and tastiest recipe I've found. Yes, it cheats a bit by using sauce from a jar (hmmph, you might say!), but sometimes you can achieve really good results from shortcuts. :) This is the recipe I use most often for Chile Verde. Delicious, and folks ask for the recipe. Ingredients:
1 1/2 lbs pork, cubed |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon pepper |
3 tablespoons vegetable oil |
1 tablespoon butter |
1 large fresh onions, minced or diced or 1/2 cup dried onion flakes |
4 cloves garlic, minced |
1 (16 ounce) jar la victoria salsa verde |
1/2 cup water or 1/2 cup chicken broth (preferred) or 1/2 cup mexican beer (if you're feeling beery ) |
Directions:
1. Cut pork into 1/2-inch cubes; season cubes with salt and pepper.
2. In a large, heavy pan with lid, brown the cubes well in oil and melted butter.
3. Add the onion and garlic and sauté for about 5 minutes, then drain the fat from the pan.
4. Add the remaining ingredients, cover, and simmer for at least 90 minutes, stirring frequently; add more water (or broth or beer) during cooking if necessary to achieve desired sauce texture.
5. Makes 4 to 6 servings.
