Ingredients:
- 2-3 pounds pork
- 1 onion
- 5 cloves garlic
- 10-12 green chilies
- 1/2 cup mild green chilies
- 1 1/2 teaspoons oregano
- 1 can diced tomatoes
- 5 tablespoons flour
- Garlic salt, to taste
Instructions:
-
Begin by browning the pork in a frying pan with a little oil over medium heat. Once browned, remove from the pan and set aside.
-
In a bowl, mix the browned pork with flour until well coated. This will help thicken the sauce later on.
-
In the same pan used for browning the pork, add chopped onion, minced garlic, green chilies, mild green chilies, and diced tomatoes. Stir everything together to combine.
-
Return the browned pork to the pan, mixing it with the other ingredients.
-
Add enough water to cover all the ingredients in the pan. This will help create a flavorful broth for the green chile.
-
Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the mixture simmer for about 30-45 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together and the pork to become tender.
-
About 10 minutes before the green chile is finished cooking, add garlic salt to taste and sprinkle in the oregano for an extra burst of flavor.
-
Once the green chile is cooked to perfection and the pork is tender, it’s ready to serve! Enjoy it hot over your favorite dishes or on its own for a delicious and satisfying meal.
