Step-by-Step Instructions for Colorado Pork Green Chili
- Begin by dicing your pork shoulder into uniform chunks and seasoning them with kosher salt and black pepper. In a large heavy-bottomed pot, heat a splash of oil over medium-high heat. Add the pork in batches, searing until browned on all sides, approximately 10 minutes. Remove the pork and set it aside.
- Lower the heat to medium and add diced yellow onion and minced jalapeños to the same pot. Sauté for about 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion is translucent and soft.
- Once the aromatics are ready, toss in chopped cilantro and minced garlic, cooking for another 2-3 minutes until fragrant. Then sprinkle in the all-purpose flour, stirring vigorously to coat the vegetables and absorb the moisture.
- Return the seared pork to the pot, followed by the canned diced green chiles, petite diced tomatoes, low-sodium chicken broth, ground cumin, dried oregano, and cayenne pepper. Stir everything together thoroughly, then cover and bring to a gentle simmer.
- Allow it to cook on low heat for about 1 hour, ensuring the pork becomes meltingly tender and infused with the vibrant flavors of the chili.
- After about an hour, remove the lid and evaluate the consistency. If you want it thicker, let it simmer uncovered for an additional 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
