Don Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 I won a chili cookoff last month with this one. GOOD OLD DONNY BOYS PORK CHILI 3 lbs pork roast , pork steak, (I prefer trimmed pork tenderloin) 2 tablespoons cooking oil or 2 tablespoons lard or 2 tablespoons ,bacon grease (My pecking order is bacon grease, butter, olive oil) 1 large chopped onion 1 head minced garlic (taste great, but also helps prevent heart burn) 6 tablespoons flour 1 (15 ounce) can Tomatoes, drained (My favorite is diced fire-roasted tomatoes) 2 cups diced green chilies (Im too lazy to chop those fresh chilies so I use three small cans of diced green chilies ) 3 large tomatillos, husks removed and coarsely chopped (optional) ( I havent stepped this far. Instead I start with a tbsp. of Hyvee roasted salsa verde sauce and add more if needed) 2 -4 teaspoons jalapenos (Im sure fresh peppers are the best but I start with a tbsp. Of diced canned jalapenos and add more until desired heat is reached) 5 cups water (broth is not traditional, but I like the flavor better) or 5 cups chicken broth) I have always use chicken broth instead of water. I start with one can and add as I go along to reach desired consistency) 2 tablespoons ground cumin (or to taste) To my tastebuds, cumin is a very powerful spice and I only use 1 tbsp.) 2 tablespoons ground chili powder (or to taste) I only use 100% pure chili powder and end up using 2 to 3 tbsp.) 1 teaspoon salt Directions: 1 Simmer roast in a large pan until meat is tender and removes from the bone easily. (You can also use diced pork, or pork cube steaks (cut to bite size pieces), browned in the pot with the onion and garlic before adding the rest of the ingredients). Instead, I prefer grilling the meat until medium. 2 Cool meat enough to handle. 3 Cube cooked pork into bite size pieces. 4 In a large pan, melt the lard or bacon grease (or heat oil). 5 Add onions and garlic; sauté until tender but not brown. 6 Stir flour into the onion, garlic and fat until flour absorbs the oil or fat. 7 Add broth or water. I start with one can of broth and add more later as it gets too thick. 8 Cook and stir until mixture comes to boil and is slightly thickened. 9 Add cubed meat, drained tomatoes, chopped tomatillos, all of the green chilies and jalapeños if desired (taste first). 10 Add the spices a little at a time until you get the taste you like, bringing to a simmer before each addition. Simmer for at least 1 hour (longer if you can afford the time), stirring occasionally to prevent it from sticking. Don May I caught you a delicious bass.
