Pork and Poblano Chili

Recipe courtesy of Njbride07

  • 1 ½ pounds poblano peppers (8 to 10 peppers) seeded and roughly chopped
  • 1 large onion, coarsely chopped
  • 1 large green bell pepper, roughly chopped
  • 1 jalapeno, seeded and chopped
  • 6 garlic cloves, peeled
  • 1 TBSP extra virgin olive oil
  • 4 pounds lean pork, cut into ¾ inch pieces
  • 2 cups low sodium chicken broth
  • 1 20 oz can diced tomatoes, with liquid
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1 15 oz cans cannellini beans, rinsed and drained


Pulse poblano peppers in a food processor until finely chopped but not pureed.  Transfer to a large bowl.  Pulse onion, bell pepper, jalapeno and garlic in food processor until finely chopped but not pureed.  Strain to remove any excess liquid and combine vegetables with poblano peppers.
Heat oil in a large, heavy bottomed saucepan or Dutch oven over medium high heat.  Add pepper mixture; reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally until vegetables are well softened, 10 to 12 minutes.  
Stir in pork, broth, tomatoes and their liquid and cumin.  Bring to a simmer, partially cover, reduce heat to low and simmer gently, stirring occasionally, until pork is very tender, about 2 hours.  Add beans and cook until heated through, about 10 minutes more.  Serve hot or warm

Season as you see fit at this point.  You might want to add more “heat”.

The hardest thing about making this is the pork. If  you can find smoked pork it will save a lot of time, if not any shredded pork will do but will not carry the exact same flavor.

Cooking:

1. Combine all ingredients for marinade in a medium bowl. Stir to combine

2. Place pork in a large zip-lock bag. Add marinade, seal and place in refrigerator to marinade for 4-6 hours, turning occasionally.

3. Remove pork from marinade and pat dry.

4. Combine ingredients for rub in a small bowl. Mix. Apply rub to port coating evenly.
5. Prepare smoker with your favorite wood.

6. Cold smoke pork for 2-3 hours.

7. Remove pork from the smoker and place on grill and cook for 3 hours on indirect heat until meat thermometer reads 175 internal. Remove from grill and cool. Shred meat and chop into 1/2 inch long pieces.

8. Add olive oil to  a large dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion, jalapenos and saute until translucent but not brown, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and saute for 1 minute. Add poblanos, tomatillos and continue to saute for another 3-5 minutes. Do not let brown.

9. Add chicken broth, lime juice, hot sauce, coconut water, cumin seed and salt. Stir. Let simmer uncovered 30 minutes.

Ingredients
  • 4 cups cooked chicken (rotissere chicken chopped) 
  • 1 tablespoon oil

  • 1 (29 ounce) can red enchilada sauce

  • 2 large eggs 
  • 1/4 cup cilantro, finely chopped (preferably fresh) 
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded 
  • 1 cup Monterey jack cheese, shredded

Directions:
Preheat oven to 375'.
Rinse can of beans under cool water (it helps remove some of the salt)
In a large skillet, cook onion and garlic in oil over medium heat until tender (or skip this step if you are using the powers and put in with enchilada sauce). Stir in enchilada sauce. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes or until slightly thickened, add chicken and rinsed beans and stir to combine. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the eggs, ricotta cheese and cilantro.
Spread 3/4 cup chicken mixture into a sprayed 13-in. x 9-in. x 2-in. baking dish. dollop ricotta mixture and cheese, Layer with three noodles, repeat chicken/bean mixture and 1 cup shredded cheese. Top with remaining noodles, sauce and shredded cheese.
Cover with foil and bake at 375° for 30 minutes. Uncover; bake 10-15 minutes longer or until bubbly. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
Quick Tips: I buy a roasted chicken already cooked and cut it up (a la Costco or the like). I also buy a pkg of Mexican Blend Cheese that already has two cups of the Cheddar and Jack.

  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • ½ cup crushed tortillas
  • ½ cup shredded Mexican four cheese

Chicken Enchilads With Creamy Green Sauce

Recipe courtesy of wrysmyguy
  • 3 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken breast halves 
  • Coarse salt and ground pepper 
  • 5 garlic cloves, unpeeled 
  • 2 jars (16 ounces each) medium green salsa 
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream 
  • 12 corn tortillas (6-inch) 
  • 12 ounces Monterey Jack cheese, coarsely shredded (3 cups) 
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Season chicken with salt and pepper; place with garlic on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted in thickest part of breast (avoiding bone) registers 165 degrees, 25 to 30 minutes. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine salsa and cream. 

Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees. Once chicken is cool enough to handle, shred meat, discarding skin and bones. Peel and chop garlic. In a large bowl, combine chicken, garlic, and 1/2 cup salsa mixture. 


Stack tortillas flat, and wrap in damp paper towels; microwave on high for 1 minute to soften. Working with one tortilla at a time, dip in salsa mixture, lay flat, and fill with 1/3 cup chicken mixture. Roll up and arrange, seam side down, 8 enchiladas lengthwise and 4 crosswise in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Top with remaining salsa mixture, then cheese. 


Bake until cheese is browned and salsa is bubbling, 40 to 45 minutes; let rest 10 minutes. Serve, sprinkled with cilantro, if desired.


NOTE: To make these up to a day ahead, prep and assemble the enchiladas (steps 1 to 3); cover and refrigerate. Go to step 4 when you're ready to bake and serve.

Before filling, soften the corn tortillas by stacking them between damp paper towels and heating for a minute in the microwave. This makes them more pliable and prevents tearing.

Using a large shallow bowl, dip each tortilla in enchilada sauce to lightly coat. Spoon 1/4 cup chicken mixture in each tortilla. Fold over filling, place 8 enchiladas in each pan with seam side down. Top with remaining enchilada sauce and cheese. 

Bake for 15 minutes in a preheated 350 degree F oven until cheese melts. Garnish with cilantro, scallion, sour cream and chopped tomatoes before serving. Serve with Spanish rice and beans.

Black Bean Chili with Smoked Pork

Recipe courtesy of wrysmyguy
    • 3 pounds pork loin 
    • 1 pound dried black beans 
    • 4 cloves garlic 
    • 3 tablespoons chili powder 
    • 5 hot chile peppers -- skinned and chopped 
    • 1 tablespoon ground cumin 
    • 1 teaspoon oregano 
    • 1 medium onion -- chopped 
    • 2 whole jalapenos -- skinned and chopped 
    • 28 ounces crushed tomatoes -- drained

    • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro -- chopped 
    • 1 cup sour cream 
    • 2 avocados -- diced 
    • 1/2 cup onion -- chopped
Cover and soak beans overnight or longer. Start the smoker and when hot, put the pork loin on the smoker, using your favorite wood for flavor. (I used hickory.) Smoke for an hour or so at 225F and then hold until you're ready to start assembly. Pour everything in a stock pot except the tomatoes, jalapenos and, of course, the garnishes. Keep covered with water and cook 6 hours on low heat (cover the pot but leave cracked slightly open to allow a bit of steam to escape). Add additional water as necessary. After 6 hours, remove meat and shred. Put the shredded pork back in the pot and add tomatoes and jalapenos (as many as you want) and cook another hour or until thickened. Serve in individual dishes along with garnishes. Garnish with chopped cilantro, sour cream, chopped onion, diced avocado and shredded cheese.
