Instructions
- In a large bowl, toss the pork cubes with the flour until evenly coated.

- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until the pork is tender.

- Serve the Chile Verde hot with warm tortillas or rice.
Chile Verde, a traditional Mexican dish, has a rich history dating back to the Aztecs. This flavorful stew is made with chunks of pork simmered in a tangy green sauce made from tomatillos, green chilies, and cilantro. The dish has evolved over time, with various regions in Mexico and the Southwestern United States adding their own unique twists. Renowned chefs like Rick Bayless and Diana Kennedy have popularized their versions of Chile Verde, while restaurants in New Mexico, such as The Shed in Santa Fe, are celebrated for their authentic renditions. To make the best Chile Verde, it's crucial to use high-quality pork and fresh, roasted green chilies.
