Chili Verde, a traditional Mexican dish, has a rich history dating back to the Aztecs. This succulent 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 centuries, with each region adding its own unique twist. Renowned chefs like Rick Bayless and Diana Kennedy have popularized their versions of Chili Verde, while restaurants in the American Southwest, particularly in New Mexico, are celebrated for their authentic renditions. The key to a perfect Chili Verde lies in the balance of flavors and the tenderness of the pork, making it a favorite among food enthusiasts.
