Ingredients:
- 25 fresh Anaheim green chiles or five 4 1/2-ounce cans green chiles
- 3 sticks (12 ounces) butter or margarine, plus more for sauteing pork
- 3 pounds pork, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
- 2 large white onions, cut into 1/2-inch dice
- 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 3/4 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 1 3/4 tablespoons ground dry mustard powder
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 2 teaspoons granulated garlic
- 6 large tomatoes, cut into 1/2-inch dice
- Two 14 1/2-ounce cans diced tomatoes
- 3 fresh jalapenos, diced, optional for added heat
- 1 cup flour
Instruction:
- If roasting your own chiles: Preheat an outdoor grill to high. Place the Anaheim chiles on the grill and cook, turning to cook evenly, until the skins blister and blacken. Remove from the grill and place in a plastic bag. Seal the bag and let the chiles stand for 5 to 10 minutes. Remove the skin, stems and seeds and chop into 1/4-inch pieces.
- Heat some butter in a large pot and add the cubed pork. Cook about15 minutes, and then add the onions and spices. Cook on low heat, stirring occasionally. When the pork has cooked through, add the fresh tomatoes, canned tomatoes, green chiles and jalapenos, if using. Stir occasionally.
- After 5 minutes, add 8 cups water. Bring to a low boil. Stir occasionally. Increase the heat and bring the chili to a rolling or high boil.
- In separate pan, melt the butter or margarine and whisk in the flour, stirring until creamy.
- Slowly add the roux to the chili, stirring constantly, and shut off the heat. Continue to stir so that the roux is evenly distributed. (Roux amount can be adjusted depending on desired consistency or thickness.)
- Let stand 5 minutes and serve in a bowl or smothered!
Chili Verde (Colorado Green Chili)
Chile Verde – a favorite in Colorado – gains its rich green color from small, firm and tart tomatillos. Pork shoulder is slowly cooked until tender in the verdant broth – thinner than some bean-and-beef-based chilis – and has subtle heat thanks to milder Anaheim chiles. Serve the chili with tortilla chips and lime wedges after the flavors have concentrated.

Ingredients:
- 3 Anaheim chiles
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 2 pounds boneless pork shoulder, cut into rough 1-inch chunks
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon whole cumin seeds
- 1 medium yellow onion, cut into small dice
- 1/2 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro with tender stems
- 6 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- One 16-ounce can crushed tomatillos
- 4 cups chicken stock
- Tortilla chips and lime wedges, for serving
Instruction:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Coat the Anaheim chiles in 1 tablespoon of oil and roast in the oven until the skin blisters and the peppers soften, about 20 minutes. Remove the chiles from the oven and allow to cool. Once cooled, stem and seed the chiles, keeping the skin on (if there is some charring on the skin it’s ok). Chop.
- Heat the remaining oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the pork and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add the cumin and cook until the pork is golden brown all over, about 15 minutes, stirring as needed. Remove the pork with a slotted spoon and set aside. Lower the heat to medium. Add the chiles, onions, cilantro and garlic to the oil remaining in the pot. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Saute the vegetables, scraping any brown bits from the bottom of the pot, until the onions are soft and golden, about 10 minutes. Stir in the flour and cook until the flour absorbs the excess liquid and is cooked through, about 3 more minutes. Return the browned pork to the pot along with the tomatillos and chicken stock. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cover with the lid. Cook until the pork is tender, about 45 minutes. Uncover and simmer until the liquid reduces slightly and the flavors concentrate, about 15 more minutes. Serve with tortilla chips and lime wedges.
