Can this be frozen afterwards as well ? I am thinking but wanted to ask ? Thanks, this looks great

[@abrahamgavarrete2367]

Wait you have a cook book 😳😁

[@honeyfromthebee]

If you want to preserve some of the pretty green color, you can blend the cilantro separately with some stock and add it at the end right before serving. The flavor of the cilantro also comes through better this way imo.

[@littleme3597]

Yes. Herbs are best added at the end.

[@TentinQuarantino_]

Great idea. This also makes it possible to make one half of the recipe without cilantro for those weirdos who hate it, then make the rest the right way 😝

[@pastureexpectationsfarm6412]

Thank you for the great suggestion!

[@littleme3597]

@@TentinQuarantino_ Hey! I can't help my tastebuds.....that want to throw up from it.

[@RealEstateByDeAnna]

I saw your video this morning, I ran to the store to buy everything to make this and WOW, it is AWESOME! The flavor from the tomatillos, garlic and spice blend is out of this world! I followed the recipe exact except that I added a full can of Hatch green chilis which was just icing on a perfect chocoloate cake. I will absolutely make this again and again, maybe changing out the protein for chicken thigh to make it more affordable. Don't shy away from this recipe, make it today and your family will think you went to culinary school! I also plan to take the advice of others and roast the pablano, tomatillos and garlic for even deeper flavor. Will keep you posted.

[@WanderingWoods2023]

made it today, wife was very happy with the results. After all - Chef John, is the cooking king, of delicious cuisine.

[@rgisdel]

Just saved my day, I had all this pork and didn't know what to do with it, so as usual I searched your website and came across this. I am Mexican and have had chile verde so many times before and never knew this has chile poblano in it. I had never made it before so I figured now is my chance. I knew it was gonna be easy since your recipes always are, and let me tell you this is amazing, even better then all the others I've had (don't tell my mom I said that). Thank you for sharing this one estaba delicioso.

[@brendareed5050]

Im tellin yo mamma, ha ha.

[@suziscool]

"... Unless you're afraid of flavor..." Love you chef John!

[@me.1587]

I'm Mexican and whenever my mom makes this I literally go crazy over those potatoes as well. She also adds pork rinds sometimes, so freaking good!

[@Alphascrub_77]

Pork rinds sound like a great idea.

[@Ozaeki]

In eating a chicharron Verde burrito rn lol

[@mattriggle1344]

Made this a few weeks ago and it was absolutely amazing. My wife and kid loved it. I decided to substitute the pork for some leftover turkey from Thanksgiving tonight. And while not *as* good as the pork version, it was still a hit. Chef John, I can't thank you enough for being here on KZbin. I can honestly say that every recipe of yours that I made has either been very good or amazing. Never anything that was even close to mediocre. Thank you so much!

[@rickyolivarez]

I'm not trying to sound like a brown noser or anything, a lot of your videos are my favorites and I didn't even notice you were the same person till a month ago. You're so caring about what you make but also down to earth and not all fancy.

[@foodwishes]

Hmmm, char-roasting tomatillos first. That's kind of brilliant.

[@thebitcoingarden]

+Food Wishes i make a roasted tomatillo salsa with almost the exact ingredients (minus the pork/potatoes/fresh cilantro etc) adding some lime n apple cider vinegar and call it a "late season salsa" (spin of salsa verde) but basically the same with the oregano (i use fresh leaves n roast the peeled stems with onion garlic n tomatillo), cumin, and haven't yet but gonna def try the cilantro seeds (forgetting what they're called now haha) in it next time cus this time of year the fresh stuff has went to seed. You should try it if you like this it looks very similar in taste aside from the meat n taters :)

[@Joseph1NJ]

+Ryan Saunders Ah ha lime, that's what's missing, some acid.

[@poshepoket]

+Food Wishes omg chef i love your recipe it is pretty accurate on how we Mexicans cook and tastes amazing everyone should try this, but i guess tomatillo is not that easy to get in your local stores.

[@EmeraldMercy]

+Food Wishes Also try adding NM green chile in one of your recipes. This one seems most like begging for the green chile pepper addition. Yes, the pepper, not a dish.

+Ryan Saunders, thanks for inviting me to dinner, what's your address, lol! Yummmm....,

[@phishtacosfishingandstuff2677]

This has been my favorite dish my entire life. If it's on the menu, I won't order anything else. My mom is from chihuahua and I grew up with her amazing/authentic Mexican foods. I only recently started cooking in earnest, and I come to you before I look anywhere else. Today I am preparing your chile verde (sans potatoes) AND your carnitas for tomorrow's dinner guests. They're going to love it. Thank you brother!

[@Geiraffah]

Being from the southwest this recipe was greatly received by my family. 10/10 and the leftover stewed pork and sauce makes amazing enchiladas

[@emilye126]

This is one of the most delicious Mexican recipes I have ever prepared..used the leftovers and made tamales. On my menus until I die,....yummy

[@r.mcbride2837]

This looks lovely and is very close to my own recipe. Hubby and boys love it, so I make it often. Other than char-roasting ALL the veggies (tomatillos, garlic, chiles, onion), I suggest making the salsa several days in advance and letting it relax and develop it's flavors in the refrigerator. I tend to make large batches and keep some in the fridge - it will last up to 3 months - and put some in the freezer. :-)

[@elizabethpew176]

How do you char broil your vegetables?

[@elizabethpew176]

I meant char roasting

[@r.mcbride2837]

I do mine on a gas BBQ grill, but you can spread them on a sheet pan lined with foil and char-broil them in the oven, on high, turning them with tongs until they get a nice char on the outsides and the veggies are cooked. Some people do them with tongs over a gas burner on the stove if you have gas. Hope that helps. 🙂

[@headlessspaceman5681]

Every part of this process smells so damn good, by the time it's done it's a flavor revelation.

[@MsDrChild]

You are the coolest, Chef John.

[@phillippotee6082]

Amazing recipe. If you do have the time, I'd spend the extra 15 minutes roasting or broiling all your peppers before blending them. In my opinion, roasting/broiling the peppers always takes it to the next level.

[@7bootzy]

I made my own slow-cooker variant of this recipe and my Mexican sister-in-law loved it! It's probably my fav thing to get at my local taqeuria besides a torta de lengua.

[@idontlikegoats]

I blister the tomatillos and poblano peppers, sometimes onions too in the broiler. Then just blend it all with cilantro and half an avocado. It's to die for :D

[@thoellri]

+idontlikegoats blister! yeah! they are just roasting green chiles in New Mexico and there's this intoxicating smell in the air.

[@rickr7333]

+idontlikegoats I agree. You should look into wood fired roasting, I use wood to grill or smoke meat many weekends during the warm months usually producing enough for a week. Once the fire has died down I will put on peppers, tomatoes, onions, whatever we got from the garden or farmers market and smoke-roast. If I don't use them in a couple of days, chop them up and freeze them to add mucho flavor to dishes when I don't have time to do it organically! It's good if you do it in the broiler, it's heaven if you do it on a wood fire!

[@idontlikegoats]

blister, as in roast until they burst, i take the blackened skin off, since it's done the job. Plus I'm not eating 10kg of blistered tomatillos a day. Relax.

[@halainasunrise]

Rick R agreed. a proper blende of wood chips and you're in heaven for pretty much anything

[@gasfiltered]

I use a propane torch on the grill, super fast, no waiting on a grill or oven to heat, no cleanup, and I personally like how this way the peppers are still a little crunchy. I feel like using the broiler or grill they get cooked too far and then you lose them in whatever recipe you're making

[@mabeloden3832]

I made this today even tho it's 89 degrees in nipomo. My daughter is vegan so I made half the recipe using pork for me and Jack fruit for hers. Hope she likes it. Making Mexican rice and homemade frijoles. Thanks for the recipe chef John.🦩

[@scotts7017]

I’ve got to stop watching these videos late at night when I’m hungry.

[@gleichg]

Made this tonight. I used pork loin. I am low carbing it, so i decided to forgo the potatoes, and I served it over a scant amount of brown rice. It really turned out well. Thanks for the recipe.

[@skipdog9912]

I substitute the potatoes for some Chayote squash which is potato-esc and I also add little yellow squash. You wont miss the potatoes trust me!

[@TheAileZX2]

This guy has so many vocal memes, but for some reason, they all harmoniously work with each other. It's identifiable, and that's a rare talent with your voice. It works with his specialty.

[@Scottstunts]

I just made this and it was absolutely amazing. Your recipes never disappoint. Thank you Chef John.

[@bethbnolan]

Chef John, I made this last night for the family. They loved it even though a few things didn't go quite right. Mistakes and all it was delicious! Thank you

[@esmeraldasan2]

love the recipe my mom use almost the same ingredients but roast the tomatillos and chiles and the meat is pork ribs cut in small pieces. soooo good. thank you for the recipe Chef!!!

[@maggotsinthecrosshairs7632]

Another winner from Chef John. I’m glad I took the time to make the pickled onions. Perfect dish for a winter’s night.

[@onemanwulfpack5954]

We tried this last weekend and it was very good! Citrus, spice, tender pork and the potatoes were my favorite part as well. Thank you very much for sharing.

[@RainbowGardens]

I did not think of doing a stew with tomatillos, looks great! I just so happen to be cooking a pork butt right now, lol. I grew tomatillos for the first time this year. Tomatillos and peppers are wonderful in sauces. I grill them off good, char them, and it is like magic! Oh yes, the potatoes? I made a Thai Massamon Curry this week ( I assume that is one of the curries to which you are referring). YUM!

[@garyscott4105]

I had this in a Mexican restaurant, in Utah. I'm from England, and was on a bike trip over there. It was amazing!. Anyway i followed your recipe, and it turned out just as good. Thanks!

[@zonacrs]

Thanks Chef John! One of my favorites. PSA easy shortcuts for lazy folks such as myself or those that can't find Tomatillos. 1) Use a 16 ounce glass jar of Herdedez brand Salsa Verde to save some time or an option if you don't have tomatillos in your area. 2) Dice up fresh onion and Serrano or Jalapeno peppers to saute with the meat as chef John did along with the herbs. 3) Boneless "country style pork ribs" are usually pork shoulder cut into strips. Super easy to cube and great for any kind of pork stew. Proceed with the recipe.

[@moniquelapalme8319]

I live in northern Ontario. My husband grew tomatillos this summer but I had no clue what to do with them. So i saw this recipe. Wow! We loved it! I want to make it again but we’ll have to wait till next summer.

[@justinekeesee1807]

Such an amazing comfort food that I can never get quite right. This did the trick. Thanks for another amazing cooking experience!!

[@gooseygirl1]

Chef John, you are the comedian in the food wishes kitchen! LOVE your videos...informative and funny. You ROCK! This is one of my favorite recipes and since I made it the first time, my honey asks Chili Verde every few weeks now. Oh and I add a touch of fresh squeezed orange juice in mine after the pork browning stage.

[@lasercorn2399]

I finally had a chance to make this. It was so good that ate so much that I can barely move. Thanks, John!

[@jamesdooling4139]

It's the soapiness that makes cilantro and pickled ginger so delicious! That 10% should feel blessed. It's a unique taste.

[@edjarrett3164]

As a guy that spent 4 yrs in NM, I like the recipe. As a purist, green chili stew is amazing and less fussy. Chilis in NM is the food highlight. The season, the crop and the purchasing and roasting of amazing chili. It just doesn’t get better.

[@brendareed5050]

oh man, the verdict on the verde is looking amazing and I seriously need to make this!

[@laclapp7]

I used this a while ago as a guide but instead charred the peppers and tomatillos and used chicken instead. It was a big hit, thanks Chef John.

[@colbymoore12]

That looks like hangover heaven

[@ronbrauher8395]

I love watching cooking videos and chef John's are absolutely the best I have cooked many of your recipes love em thank you its how I start my day

[@carlbeaver7112]

This is the way I've always made it, with one exception... during the addition of potatoes instead of adding additional chicken broth/stock I add one bottle of Modelo Negra.

[@Heghineh1]

Wish it looked as appetizing as it should, loved the video and detailed info, will definitely make this in winter, I think it's one of the best comfort foods , I add tomatillos to my mixed veggies in brine , so good

[@Grzesmo]

I make the same, but sometimes I use edemame beans, fava beans, or peas instead of potatoes, but potatoes are definitely great. White rice on the side and some fresh rolled tortillas make it heavenly!

[@yougottabekidding7476]

You make cooking very interesting. And your lilting voice is really comforting. I only have canned tomatillos and some verde sauce, but I have all the other ingredients. I may want to slow cook so it will basically cook without me hovering over the pot! Thanks again for another yummy- looking recipe!

[@professorm4171]

I made this a while back. It's delicious. Stir & scrape the bottom often because the verde tends to stick and burn.

[@kryz9875]

Thank you Chef John! Now I know what to do with the tomatillos from the garden. This dish is delicious and different from the regular tomato based stews.

[@davelabadie147]

I love green Chile Verde. I make it but when I learned my friends recipe. He sauted garlic, then he added the meat and browned it. He pulled it out and sauted the large onion. He then added Mexican tomato sauce, green chilies, added the meat back in and let it simmer an hour. He added tomatoes and let them soften. It was about another 15-20 min and it was delicious. I told him it isn't green though lol. He says he has always made it this way because he doesn't care for the flavor of tomatillos.? I am going to try your recipe Chef John, how awesome you are at explaining what to do. Thanks for sharing.

[@leftcoast9261]

This is probably the most popular recipe at home I've ever tried. People go nuts over it! Thanks!

[@potagergirl]

I have to say this chili verde was amazing. Yes I had to make adjustments for my diet as we use cauliflower instead of potatoes. None the less this was amazing!. The one thing I do recommend is roasting your peppers. Like Chef John says it doesn't matter what kind you use, but roasting the peppers adds a wonderful wow to the flavors of this stew. Thank you for posting vid. =)

[@margievasquez4054]

Great Job sharing this recipe...loved listening to you explain....will be making this dish today.

[@dianeedwards9958]

[@mattsnoozle5093]

Couple of variants / suggestions for my all original version of Chile Verde and by all original, I mean my copy of Chef John's recipe. Char the tomatillos in the broiler. Use Hatch Green Chile and char in broiler. Cook the tomatillos, chile, and cilantro with chicken stock until soft. It blends better and integrates the flavors. I also use pork sausage and pork shoulder. Amazing base recipe... Gracias Chef John.

[@rubennotthesandwich2402]

That is a great and spot on recipe. I would like to share than whenever I make a dish that is so acidic I add a bit of agave nectar in this particular dish, not for sweetness because you don't want to taste it really but to round it out, just to slightly mute the acid. But as always, good stuff.

[@sharongeorge5449]

Good idea; mine was also very acidic. Made this today and am eating it now; I though about agave or coconut sugar but didn't. I am going to add a bit of agave to leftovers. Thanks for the tip.

I had to come back and make another comment. This is so simple and so, so good. In Australia I only get canned tomatillos and the cost $9 a can but totally worth it.

You should try growing some. They're super easy to grow and one plant can produce a lot of tomatillos. Are there any mexican grocery stores near you? You'll be able to find them there.
