Some of you had requested the winning recipe for the open category
chili at last weekend's contest.
4-5 lbs pork
2 lbs chilies (mix of serrano, anaheim, yellow-hot, poblano and
jalapeno)
1.5 lbs tomatillos
2 onions
3-4 cloves garlic
2 tbs cumin
1 tsp oregano
2 bay leaves
5 cups chicken broth
1 cup cilantro
salt
pepper
vegetable oil
1. Chop up pork, chilies, tomatillos and onions. Mince garlic.
Note: I've removed most of the seeds from my chilies. Wear disposable
gloves!!
2. Pour vegetable oil into pot and brown pork with a some salt and
pepper. Remove browned pork and set aside.
3. Add onions to pot and saute' until softened. Once onions are a bit
translucent, toss minced garlic and browned pork back into pot.
4. Toss chillies, tomatillos, cumin, oregano, bay leaves and chicken
broth into pot. Simmer for approximately 2 hours. Skim excess oil off
top.
5. Let cool, cover and place in fridge overnight.
6. Next day: Reheat, remove bay leaves, add chopped cilantro and serve!
Enjoy!
