Delicious Pork Chili Verde Recipe for a Hearty Meal

Ingredients

Servings:
10
  • 2 lbs pork shoulder, cut into chunks
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups green tomatillos, husked and chopped
  • 1 cup green chilies, diced
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cups chicken broth

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Sear the Pork

    In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add pork chunks and sear until browned on all sides.

    Do this in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pot.
  2. Sauté Aromatics

    Add chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté until the onion is translucent.

    Stir frequently to avoid burning the garlic.
  3. Add Tomatillos and Chilies

    Stir in chopped tomatillos and diced green chilies. Cook for about 5 minutes until softened.

    This will enhance the flavors before adding the liquids.
  4. Season the Mixture

    Add cumin, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine all ingredients.

    Adjust seasonings according to taste.
  5. Pour in Chicken Broth

    Add the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Cover and reduce heat to low.

    Let it simmer for about 2 hours or until pork is tender.
