Colorado and New Mexico are known for some of the best examples of chili this country has to offer. Most from this region are made with green chilies.

* I like to use poblano chilies which add a nice amount of spice to the chili, if you do not like a lot of spice, use Anaheim chilis. I can’t buy fresh New Mexico green chilis where I live, but they would be the traditional green chili to use. Roasting and peeling fresh chilies makes a huge difference in the flavor of this dish, however it time does not allow, you can use canned green chilies.

Yield 8 Servings

Ingredients

  • About 4 Tablespoons Oil
  • 1 Onion minced
  • 8 Cloves Garlic, minced
  • 2 Pounds Pork Tenderloin, chopped into 1/4 inch pieces
  • 1/3 Cup Flour
  • 10 (3 Cups) Green Chilies*, roasted, peeled and small diced
  • 3-4 Tomatoes (about 3 cups), Chopped
  • 8 Cups Chicken Broth
  • 2 Tablespoons Cumin
  • 1 Tablespoon Chili Powder
  • 2 Teaspoons Salt
  • 2 Tablespoons Cilantro, chopped

Method

Heat a pot over medium high heat. Add the oil. Add the onion and garlic and cook until translucent. Add the pork. Cook until the pork begins to brown slightly. Stir in the flour. Cook, stirring for about 1 minute. Add the chilis, stir. Add the remaining ingredients.

Bring to a simmer and cook over low heat for about an hour, stirring occasionally. Season additionally with salt and black pepper to taste.

This chili is nice served with a little white rice, a warm flour tortilla and a dollop of sour cream.
