I loved this recipe. I am mexican and usually do my own chile verde but wanted to see how others differ. I seared the pork then removed to sear the onions/garlic/cumin powder. meanwhile, boiled the tomatillos/jalepenos till tender. then put in blender on hi for bout' 2-3minutes. pour mixture into onion/garlic/cumin and bring to a slight boil then return the seared pork. Absolutely delicious. DONT FORGET to add small amts of salt and black pepper to all three steps! ENJOY!

This was the first time I made this. I read through the reviews and took advantage of everyones experience. I took a little from each person. I put the tomatillos and jalapenos in a pot with a little water (approx 1 cup) and steam/boiled them till they were soft. I also lightly floured the pork before searing in the skillet. After the pork was seared, I put the meat in a large crock pot. I put the stemed tomatillos, fresh cilantro leaves and stemed jalapenos in the blender for 1-2 min. I poured the mixture over the meat in the crock pot. I took the other peppers (yellow and poblano) and roasted them on the gas grill until they were blistered all over. I placed them in a plastic bag to cool..then under water peeled the skin off of each. I placed the yellow and pablano peppers in the blender and mixed for 1-2 min, then added this to the crock pot over the meat. I cooked the onions w/spices as instructed, and once the onions were soft I added 1/2 cup chicken broth to help deglaze the skillet then added this into the crock pot. I cut the recipe in half (service for 10), but the one IMPORTANT thing was that I added all the ingredients into the crock pot and then added the chicken stock LAST so I could control the thickness of the sauce. I ended up using approx 3 1/2 cups of chicken broth because the tomatillos and blended chilis made up the rest of the sauce. It was FANTASTIC....the BEST Verde ever!

Delicious recipe for Chile Verde. The tomatillos do a great job of thicking it up towards the end. I used 6 cups instead of 8 cups of chicken broth -- which was more than enough. I also added some cut-up potato pieces (cubes) towards the end to make the stew a bit more hearty.

This was a new experience for me! I have never even tasted Chile Verde before, let alone make it myself. I don't know what's "authentic" and what's not or how it's supposed to look or taste. After a little research and after reading some of the reviews, I gave this a shot. First, I roasted the tomatillos, jalapenos and poblanos at 400* for 12 minutes, then pureed them in the food processor. I dredged the meat in flour, browned it, added the chopped onion, yellow bell peppers and garlic. Deglazed the pan with 1/4 of the amount of chicken broth called for (given so many reviews indicating there was far too much broth in the recipe). I put everything in the slow cooker along with the cumin, and Mexican oregano, salt, pepper and chopped, fresh cilantro to taste. My plan was to serve this in tortillas with sliced avocado and queso fresco, but this was still just too liquidy for that. Alternatively, the thought of eating what was essentially a stew of pork and tomatillos with a bowl and spoon didn't appeal to me either. So, authentic or not, I added a can of cannelini beans (white kidney beans) for the recipe scaled down to 4 servings and 1-1/4# of meat. Now I had something! The beans definitely gave it substance, interest and texture, and appealed to my ingrained "there's got to be beans if it's chili" way of thinking! This was tasty enough, but maybe just too different for me.

I was begging for it when I made this--this is a family treasure at the in-laws and this is not the way they make it. First time I served it to them, I got cool looks and lukewarm comments. I heard later that the left overs where gone by morning and no one would admit to eating all of it. Next time I was Told to bring The Other Verde (as this is now known as) and everyone is quite exultant to see this come through the door (inlaw G'ma took me aside and said "not bad for an Anglo"), so a Big Thank You, Clara!!

This was excellent. As previous reviewers mentioned, the chicken stock called for was way too much. I'll use about half next time. I also cooked it in the crock pot and the meat was extremely tender.

I tried this one with only minor modifications. I didnt have quite enough poblanos so substituted other fresh chiles. I also cut the servings down by half. One other thing I did was to dredge 1/2 the meat in flour before browning. This helped the gravy to thicken and avoided the wateriness mentioned by other reviewers. Next time I will dredge all the meat. I also added more hot peppers to kick up the spice. It was super tasty served over brown rice with cheese. I'll deinitely make this one again.

My husband loves chile verde. We have a local restaurant that serves his favorite of all chile verdes. He went absolutely wild over this recipe. I will be making it many more times in the future. I do recommend to cut down on the chicken broth by at least half. I added more pickled jalapenos at the end as we love the heat . This is just too good to miss.

Really different and delicious! My husband claimed he didn't like stewed pork, but he kept digging in...The broth makes it rich. I halved the recipe, pureed the peppers and extra garlic together with the tomatillos, and added cubes of raw potato to the last simmer period because I remember being served the dish that way. I also saved some chopped cilantro and green onions to sprinkle on raw as a garnish. Great with plain rice or pinto beans.

This was delicious! The flavor was just right and it was mild enough for my kids to eat. I give only 4 stars because the recipe calls for far too much broth. It took much longer for me to make this because I needed to cook it down on high heat, otherwise it would have been soup. I will definitely make this again but with only half the broth called for.
