What is Chili Verde?
Chili verde is a dish native to Northern Mexico. It is a form of stew, traditionally prepared with pork shoulder, although other cuts of pork and sometimes even chicken may appear in chile verde. There are a number of variations on basic chili verde, and purists will usually assure you that their version is “authentic.” In fact, like many ethnic dishes, chili verde is prepared in a variety of ways in its native country, so it is safe to say that whichever version you like the best is probably authentic, at least for your purposes!
