This is not a traditional Chile Verde, but it is very easy.This recipe was inspired by one I found on the back of can of enchilada sauce. In my hometown, chile verde was usually made with pork, not beef, so that's what I use. I've used cubed pork shoulder roast instead of the tenderloin, and couldn't tell the difference. You can substitute a 4oz can of diced green chiles for the mild Anaheim pepper. Or if you like things a bit hotter, use a spicier pepper.
Ingredients:
1 -1 1/2 lb pork tenderloin, cut into 1 inch cubes
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1 anaheim chili, minced
6 cloves garlic, minced or chopped (or to taste)
1 (19 ounce) can green enchilada sauce
hot cooked rice
sour cream (optional)
fresh cilantro (optional)
tortilla (optional)
Directions:
1. Heat oil in a Dutch oven or large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat; saute pork until it begins to brown.
2. Add onion, peppers and garlic; cook until vegetables are tender.
3. Stir in enchilada sauce; cover and simmer for at least 40 minutes (or, at this point you can turn into a crock pot and cook on low for about 5 hours).
4. Serve over hot cooked rice; offer with sour cream, cilantro, and tortillas if desired.
