Rich's Green Chili

After years of trying other Hatch chili recipes, and always enjoying the ones here at home in Colorado, I've finally perfected my own. Serve with tortillas in a bowl, or however you want.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

  • 1 ½ pounds pork shoulder, cubed

  • 1 large yellow onion, diced

  • 8 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 tomato, cut into large chunks

  • 32 ounces frozen fire-roasted Hatch chile peppers

  • 1 (12 fluid ounce) bottle light beer

  • 1 ½ cups tomatillo salsa

  • ½ (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, drained

  • 1 ½ teaspoons salt

  • 1 ½ teaspoons ground black pepper

  • 1 teaspoon oregano

  • 1 pinch ground cloves

  • ½ (8 ounce) package shredded sharp Cheddar cheese

Directions

  1. Heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Cook pork until all sides are golden brown, about 8 minutes. Remove from Dutch oven and set aside.

  2. Reduce heat to medium; add onion and garlic to the Dutch oven. Cook for 4 minutes. Add fresh tomato. Continue cooking, stirring frequently, until onions start to turn translucent and golden, about 4 minutes more.

  3. Return pork to the Dutch oven. Add green chiles, beer, tomatillo salsa, and canned tomatoes. Season with salt, pepper, oregano, and cloves. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes.

  4. Remove 2 1/2 cups of the vegetables from the chili and carefully puree in a blender until smooth. Stir puree back into the chili. Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes. Stir in Cheddar cheese. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes more.
