Grandma’s Chili Verde Spanish Rice

Simmered pork, green chiles, and Spanish rice deliver a bold, comforting, and savory family meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large pork chops, cut into large chunks
  • 1 clove garlic, finely minced
  • 1 large yellow onion, chopped
  • 1 jalapeno chili, canned, chopped
  • 400 grams canned chopped green chiles
  • 1 large yellow wax chile, seeds removed and chopped
  • 1 medium fresh tomato, chopped
  • Salt, to taste
  • 3 cups water
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • Cumin, to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Add pork chunks and sear on all sides until golden brown.
  2. Add minced garlic, chopped onion, jalapeno chili, green chiles, yellow wax chile, and tomato to the browned pork. Stir thoroughly to mix.
  3. Sprinkle flour, salt, and cumin over the mixture. Stir well to evenly coat the meat and vegetables.
  4. Pour in the water and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer until pork is tender, allowing flavours to meld. Adjust seasoning if needed.

Notes

For enhanced depth of flavor, allow the stew to simmer on low for up to 90 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
