Make this Authentic Santiago’s Green Chili Recipe With Pork ingredients and instructions to make the delicious Green Chili sauce Recipe With Pork, just like Santiago’s Restaurant.
Cut roughly 18 of your roast Hatch or Pueblo green chiles. Two of these should be saved for future use. Place them in the slow cooker’s bottom.
Melt the lard in a cast-iron skillet or another heavy-bottomed skillet over high heat. If you don’t have it, cut a 3/4 lb piece of pork tenderloin. Sear tenderloin in lard for 2-3 minutes on each side, undisturbed.
In a slow cooker, combine the pork, lard, tomato sauce, and pork broth. Cook for eight hours on low.
In the 8th hour, take out the pork and set it aside on a cutting board. A small dish mix with the water and flour until they are smooth. Add the flour mixture to the slow cooker.
To get an ideal texture, you need to blend the mix within the slow cooker till it is smooth. If you don’t own any immersion blenders, simply pour the mixture into a blender in small batches and blend until it is as smooth as you can.
Shred your pork and add it back to your slow cooker. Chop your remaining two green chiles and add them too. Close the lid and cook for another 35 to 45 minutes, or until it thickens.
Serve hot and enjoy with tortillas, burritos, tacos, and enchiladas.
