As with many of my recipes, this Chile Verde recipe was created by finding Chile Verde recipes in cookbooks and on the Internet, selecting the ingredients in each recipe that sounded good to me, combining those ingredients, and then making adjustments.

 

Chile Verde

 

1 T.     Olive oil

2 lb.    Pork, diced

14 oz.   Green chile salsa

¾ c.     Canned green chiles, diced

1        Onion, chopped

2        Tomatoes, chopped

2 t.     Ground cumin

2 t.     Oregano

1 ½ T.   Chile powder

1 ½ T.   Minced garlic

1 t.     Salt

         Water

1 T.     Cornstarch (for thickening)

         Flour tortillas

 

·       In a lightly oiled frying pan, cook the pork over medium heat until it is no longer pink.

·       Put the pork and all ingredients through the salt, into a crockpot.

·       Cover with water, and stir.

·       Mix the cornstarch into a cup of water, add to the crockpot, and stir.

·       Cook on low temperature, uncovered, for at least 12 hours … the longer, the better.

·       Serve in bowls, or spoon the chile verde into the flour tortillas, and then roll them up or fold them.

·       May be served with diced onions and grated cheese.
