Hatch Chile Verde
Hatch Chile Verde showcases fire-roasted Hatch peppers and tender pork simmered in a robust, chile-forward broth—without tomatillos—so the peppers’ smoky heat shines. Aromatic cumin, onion, and garlic round out the flavors, while a touch of tomato adds body. Serve it for a cozy dinner with warm tortillas, rice, or beans when you want deep, slow-cooked comfort.

Set the Hatch chiles directly on the grates of a gas stove. Cook over medium heat, turning with tongs now and then, until blackened and charred, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a sealed plastic bag and let cool for 7 to 8 minutes.

Peel off the charred skins, remove the seeds, and cut 1/2 of the chiles into 1-inch squares; set aside. Put the remaining chiles in a food processor and pulse until finely chopped. Combine the processed chiles with the chopped chiles and set aside.

In a Dutch oven, combine the pork cubes, water, and salt. Cover and cook over medium heat for 20 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes. Uncover, increase the heat to medium-high, and cook, stirring constantly, until the water evaporates and the pork browns in its rendered fat, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove the pork and set aside.

Heat the oil in the Dutch oven. Add the onion; cook, stirring, until soft and translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the garlic and cumin and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Add the chiles, pork, chicken broth, canned tomatoes, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the pork cubes are fork-tender, about 1 1/2 hours.
