Chili Base

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Dice the pork shoulder, green bell peppers, poblanos, onion, and garlic. Chop the cilantro and juice the limes. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Aromatics

    In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onions, garlic, and bell peppers. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the onions become translucent.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Brown the Pork

    Increase the heat to medium-high and add the diced pork shoulder to the pot. Season with salt and black pepper. Cook for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pork is browned on all sides.

  2. 4

    Add the Spices

    Stir in the ground cumin and ground coriander, mixing well to coat the meat and vegetables. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to allow the spices to bloom.

  3. 5

    Combine with Broth

    Pour in the chicken broth and add the diced green chilies and poblanos. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for about 1 hour, stirring occasionally.

  4. 6

    Finish with Cilantro and Lime

    After an hour of simmering, stir in the chopped cilantro and lime juice. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper as needed. Simmer for another 10 minutes.
