01 Step

Recipe View 15 mins In a large, heavy-bottomed stock pot or Dutch oven, heat the vegetable oil over high heat. Sear the pork in batches until deeply golden brown on all sides. This step is crucial for developing rich flavor. Remove the pork from the pot and set aside, reserving about 2 tablespoons of oil in the pan. (15 minutes)

Recipe View Stir well to combine. Cover the pot and continue to simmer for an additional 30-45 minutes, or until the pork is very tender and easily shreds with a fork. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. (45 minutes)

For a deeper, smokier flavor, roast the poblano and jalapeño peppers before chopping. Simply char them under a broiler or over an open flame until the skins are blackened, then place them in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let them steam for 10 minutes. The skins will then easily peel off.
The Chile Verde can be made ahead of time and refrigerated for up to 3 days. The flavors will actually improve as it sits!
Serve hot, garnished with your favorite toppings such as crumbled queso fresco, sour cream, avocado slices, or a squeeze of lime juice.
