I roast my tomatillos, a whole garlic head and peppers in the oven before blending them. Add 1 tablespoons Mexican oregano. Bake, cool then fry your potatoes before adding them to the stew.
Looks nice but it’s a very poor attempt to reproduce Chicharrón en Salsa Verde… but alas real “chicharron” (including “prensado”) are probably hard to find outside Mexico the protein used as ingredient here will not provide the correct flavor or it’s intensity
Seasoning? I know it’s a given, but usually you speak about it. I can see robot followers making this and saying how bland it is, not realizing some salt, pepper, cayenne and oregano is needed.

What other meats could work?

First chilaquiles, now this!!! You are getting your Mexican card for sure!
Went looking for tomatillos in a few places. Surprisingly I found nothing. I know I've seen them in a supermarket around here someplace.
Yes do it me
Ooh, I have tomatillos coming in my CSA box Thursday! Perfect timing.
Where’s the hatch chiles?!
Wrong name for your recipe. It should be tomatillos con jalapeño. In New Mexico Chili Verde has Actual Green Chili's. Nice try though.
Hey Chef John! Could I make this with chicken thigh meat instead of pork?
Long time no see my internet uncle
Rover 30 years there's been a restaurant in San Francisco called Pancho Villa Taqueria. They make this with both chicken or pork. It's amazing!
What is a good substitute for cilantro for those of us who get the soap taste??
Made this more than 15times never disappoints. It’s also impossible to buy fresh tomatillos in Australia so I have to grow or used canned.
