chile verde
I got this recipe about 30 years ago off of an old "Silver Palate" recipe CD. I have never made it using tomatillos, and usually use fresh, home-roasted, peeled Anaheim chiles rather than canned, unless I'm in a real hurry to fix dinner. We eat this at least once a month, sometimes more often as the mood strikes.

How To Make chile verde
-
Step 1In large saucepan, combine pork, water and garlic. Cook until all water is absorbed; continue cooking and let pork brown for a few minutes.
-
Step 2Add onion and saute until translucent. Add tomatillos (tomatoes) and canned chiles. Add chopped fresh jalapenos, a little at a time, to taste.
-
Step 3Cover and simmer for 30-40 minutes or until pork is tender. Just before serving, add chopped cilantro, salt and pepper to taste.
-
Step 4Can be made into burritos or served in bowl with flour tortillas. Top with grated cheese.

Step 5NOTE: I have recently begun preparing this in my instant pot. I use the 'saute' setting to follow steps 1-3, then the high 'pressure' setting for 15-20 minutes. Allow to depressurize naturally, then add the cilantro, salt and pepper.
