Chile verde

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Chile Verde is a Mexican and Mexican-American stew or sauce usually made from chunks of pork that have been slow cooked in chicken broth, garlic, tomatillos, and jalapeños. Sometimes the sauce is made with poblanos instead of or in addition to the jalapeños. Chile Verde is usually moderately spicey, with much of its heat related to the proportion of tomatillos to jalapeños; with more jalapeños producing a more picante sauce. This stew may be made with other meats, including chicken, beef, or lamb, but pork remains the most common. Chile Verde is a common filling for the San Francisco Burrito.
