There’s something about the deep, rich flavor of Chile Verde that we just can’t resist. It is always one of our top choices at any Mexican Restaurant and we thought you might like it as much as we do, so we’re updating this post with three variations of Chile Verde for you to try at home. We’ve included options for the slow cooker or the pressure cooker so you can choose the method of cooking you prefer.
Pork or chicken, green chiles, onion, tomatillos, garlic, and a few Mexican spices all fuse together in a rich, delectable sauce that simmers all day in the slow cooker. Of course, if you choose the Instant Pot or pressure cooker it will tastes like it simmered all day but will cook in less than an hour. If you have leftover Chile Verde it can be frozen and pulled out later for another meal. So choose your recipe and your cooking method and give one of these Chile Verde recipes a try!
