Method
- Roast the tomatillos, poblano peppers, and jalapeño peppers on a baking sheet under a broiler until their skins are blistered and charred, about 5-7 minutes. Rotate as needed for even roasting.
- Let the peppers cool slightly, then peel off the charred skin and remove seeds. Set aside.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Season the pork cubes with salt and pepper, then sear them in batches until browned on all sides. Remove and set aside.
- In the same pot, add the diced onion and garlic. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and fragrant.
- In a blender or food processor, combine the roasted tomatillos, peeled peppers, cilantro, cumin, oregano, coriander, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth.
- Return the pork to the pot and pour the blended green sauce over the meat. Stir to combine.
- Add the chicken broth to the pot and bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 2 hours, stirring occasionally, until the pork is tender and the flavors have melded.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, if needed.
- Serve the Chile Verde hot over cooked rice or with warm tortillas. Garnish with additional cilantro, if desired.
Notes
For extra flavor, you can add a squeeze of lime juice before serving. Adjust the heat level by adding more or fewer jalapeño peppers.
