Step-by-Step Instructions for Chili Verde
- In a large pot, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat until shimmering. Add the 1 pound of pork shoulder chunks, cooking for about 5–7 minutes until browned on all sides.
- Once the pork is nicely browned, stir in 2 cups of chopped green tomatillos, 1 tablespoon of fresh cilantro, 1 teaspoon of chili powder, 1 teaspoon of cumin, and salt to taste. Toss in 1–2 chopped jalapeños.
- Pour in 2 cups of chicken broth, stirring to combine all the ingredients. Increase the heat to high and bring to a gentle boil, which should take about 5 minutes.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let your Chili Verde simmer for about 1 hour.
- After an hour of simmering, taste your Chili Verde and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Serve the hot dish over rice, in warm tortillas, or alongside beans.

Notes
Use fresh, ripe tomatillos and high-quality pork shoulder for maximum flavor. Adjust spice level with jalapeños based on your preference.
