A warm, hearty stew that will leave you full and satisfied. If fresh roasted chiles are not available, you can use canned. Omit the sugar for a low-carb version.

How To Make chile verde

  • 1
    Chili Sauce: Roast 2 pounds of fresh green chiles on a grill or under the broiler until the skin is blackened and bubbly.
  • 2
    Let them cool, peel the skin off and scrape out the seeds. Cut the stem off and discard with the seeds and skin.
  • 3
    Puree or blend the chiles with 1/2 cup water, a tablespoon of vinegar and salt to taste (I usually use about a teaspoon) until smooth.
  • 4
    For the Chili Verde: Brown the chicken or pork in a small amount of lard or oil, over high heat.
  • 5
    Place the browned chicken or pork, chili sauce and tomatillos into a large, covered pot over low heat.
  • 6
    Simmer for 2 hours. Add remaining ingredients and simmer for an additional 2 hours. Check every 30 minutes and add water as necessary. Serve hot.
