Equipment
  • 1 large cast-iron skillet
Ingredients
  
  • Green chilies around 3 cups of chopped green chilies or a mix of mild and hot chilies
  • 1 cup of lard
  • 2 lbs of pork shoulder diced
  • 4 pressed cloves of garlic
  • 1 cup of finely chopped onions
  • 1 1/2 tbsp of ground dry mustard powder
  • 1 tsp of black pepper
  • 1 tsp of dried oregano
  • 1/4 tsp of dried sage
  • 1/4 tsp of ground cumin
  • 14 oz can of diced tomatoes
  • 6 oz of tomato paste
  • 3 cans of chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons of chicken bouillon
Instructions
 
  • In a large cast iron skillet, heat the lard over medium heat.
    Once the lard is melted and hot, add the diced pork shoulder to the skillet.
    Cook the pork for approximately 10-15 minutes, or until browned and cooked through.
  • While the pork is cooking, chop your green chilies and set aside.
    Combine garlic, onions, mustard powder, black pepper, oregano, sage, and ground cumin in a food processor or blender.
    Pulse the mixture for 3-4 minutes, or until it forms a smooth paste. 
  • Add the spice paste to the skillet with the browned pork, and cook together for 3-4 minutes to blend the flavors.
    Stir frequently to prevent sticking or burning.
  • Pour in the diced tomatoes, tomato paste, and chicken broth to the skillet.
    Stir well to combine with the pork and spice blend.
    Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer.
  • Add the chopped green chilies and the chicken bouillon to the skillet, stirring to combine.
    Allow the chili to simmer uncovered for 1-2 hours, stirring occasionally, until the green chili sauce has thickened. 
  • Taste the green chili and adjust the seasonings as necessary.
    Once you're satisfied with the flavor, the Santiago's Green Chili is ready to enjoy.
