What is Pork Chile Verde?

Pork Chile Verde is a flavorful Mexican dish made with chunks of pork simmered in a vibrant green sauce.

The dish gets its name from the Spanish words “chile” (referring to chili peppers) and “verde” (meaning green), which accurately describes the main ingredients and color of the sauce.

What is in Pork Chile Verde?

To make Pork Chile Verde, chunks of pork, often from the shoulder or loin, are browned and then simmered with a combination of green chili peppers, such as Anaheim or Hatch chilies, along with other ingredients like onions, garlic, and spices in large skillet.

The chili peppers provide a mild to medium level of heat, depending on personal preference and the type of peppers used. 

The green sauce is typically made by blending or pureeing the chili peppers with the other ingredients, resulting in a thick and aromatic sauce.

For this recipe we are making it easy by using canned store bought chile verde sauce to cut down on cooking time!

The pork is cooked in this flavorful sauce until it becomes tender and absorbs the rich flavors.

What do you serve with chile verde?

Pork Chile Verde can be served with various accompaniments, such as rice, tortillas, tortilla chips, beans, or even as a filling for tacos or burritos- foods the whole family can enjoy.

The dish is known for its vibrant green color, tangy taste, and the delicious combination of tender pork and mildly spicy yet savory sauce and is a popular and comforting dish enjoyed in Mexican cuisine.

You might want to pair it with sour cream to make it less spicy.

How do you trim fat from a pork tenderloin

Trimming fat from pork tenderloin is a simple process. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

1. Start by placing the pork tenderloin on a clean cutting board or a clean, flat surface.
2. Examine the tenderloin and identify any visible pieces of fat. Fat typically appears as a white or yellowish layer on the surface of the meat.
3. Use a sharp knife to carefully cut away the excess fat. Hold the knife parallel to the cutting board and gently slide it under the fat, separating it from the lean meat.
4. Trim off the fat in small, controlled cuts, ensuring that you remove only the fat and not the lean meat. Be cautious not to remove too much of the lean meat, as pork tenderloin is naturally lean and tender.
5. Continue trimming the fat from all sides of the tenderloin until you have removed the desired amount.
6. After trimming, you can proceed with seasoning or cooking the pork tenderloin according to your chosen recipe.

Remember to always exercise caution when handling sharp knives and to maintain a firm grip on the pork tenderloin while trimming.

Additionally, it’s worth noting that a small amount of fat can contribute to flavor and juiciness, so it’s up to personal preference how much fat to remove.
