Chile verde

Chile Verde is a traditional Mexican dish made with green chiles, tomatillos, and pork. The dish can be traced back to the state of Jalisco, where it is said to have originated. Chile Verde is a popular dish in Mexico and the United States, and is often served with rice and beans.

The first recorded recipe for Chile Verde was in the book, Cocina Popular Mexicana, which was published in Mexico City in 1831. The recipe called for the chiles, tomatillos, and pork to be stewed together.

In the early 1900s, Chile Verde was introduced to the United States by Mexican immigrants. The dish became popular in the Southwest, where green chiles are plentiful.

Advice

When making chile verde, it's important to select the right ingredients. Choose fresh green chiles, such as poblanos, jalapenos, or Anaheims, and select a good quality pork shoulder or pork butt. If you want to add some heat, add a few shakes of hot sauce or diced jalapenos. Make sure to season your chile verde with salt and pepper and use fresh garlic, onions, and cilantro. Finally, simmer the chile verde over low heat for several hours to allow the flavors to develop. Enjoy!
