Pork Chili Verde

My sister in law Natalie made a big mouthwatering batch of pulled pork last weekend. Like crazy good pulled pork.

Pork Chili Verde

But Natalie seems to suffer from the same deal that plagues all women in my family:

The need to feed…That rhymed.

Pork Chili Verde

And there were leftovers, which I greedily took home to my house. And while I die over a good pulled pork sandwich or a great batch of carnitas, I have had chili on the brain. Chili Verde specifically.

Now you may look at this chili and say “hey! That’s not green!” and you would be right- but it is made with green salsa. And green salsa is made with green tomatoes, green onions, green tomatillos, green chili’s and green cilantro. Oh, and green lime. So that sounds pretty green to me.

Plus, who cares? Cause it is really, really, really good.
