[The following text is in the "Windows-1252" character set] [Your display is set for the "ISO-8859-1" character set] [Some characters may be displayed incorrectly] Hi Diane - Here's a chile recipe using tomatillos. Dan actually made it last night. It's really good. Enjoy - Helen Pork Chili Verde with Posole 1 pound tomatillos 2 pounds boneless pork, cut into 1 ½ inch cubes 1 teaspoon salt ½ teaspoon ground pepper Flour (for dredging) 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 Yellow onion, chopped (we use Vidalia) 2 Anaheim or Poblanos, chopped 2 Jalapeno, chopped 2 Green Bell peppers, chopped 3 cloves chopped garlic - or to taste 1 ½ cups canned Hominy, drained ½ Cup chopped Cilantro 1 teaspoon oregano 1 tablespoon ground cumin 3 cups chicken stock or water Turn on the broiler. Set the tomatillos on a rimmed baking sheet and slide them under the broiler. Cook them, turning often, for 5 to 8 minutes until charred. (or heat a cast iron pan & roast them in that) Set them aside to cool. Chop the tomatillos, reserving all the juices. Sprinkle the pork with the salt and pepper and dust it with flour. In a large kettle, heat the oil. Add the pork and brown it on all sides. Remove the pork from the kettle & set aside. Turn the heat on kettle to medium and add the onion. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring often, until it^Òs soft. Add the chiles and bell peppers. Cook, stirring often, for 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute more. Stir in the hominy, cilantro, oregano, cumin, chicken stock or water, and the tomatillos and their juices. Bring to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer, partially covered, for 1 ½ hours or until the pork is tender. It is better the next day! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Diane Salts" To: "chili" Sent: Wednesday, July 16, 2003 1:49 AM Subject: [CH] Tomatillo recipe? > Hi CHers > I am growing Tomatillos for the first time this year and with four plants doing great I am going to need a salsa recipe for them.
