Directions
1
Cut 5 lbs of pork shoulder into 1-2 inch cubes.
2
Boil the pork cubes in 12 cups of water with 10 garlics, half an onion, salt and pepper for 45 minutes on high heat.
3
Remove the cooked pork from the broth, reserving the broth.
4
Sear the pork cubes in oil on high heat until browned.
5
In a separate pot, cook 15 tomatillos, 4 jalapenos, half an onion, and 8 garlic cloves in oil over high heat for a few minutes.
6
Add reserved meat broth to the tomatillo mixture. Ensure that the tomatillos remain mostly above the waterline.
7
Blend the tomatillo mixture until smooth.
8
Strain the blended sauce to remove any solids, then pour the strained sauce over the seared pork.
9
Simmer the chili verde with pork on low heat for 30-60 minutes until the desired consistency is achieved.
10
Prepare rice and pinto beans, then mash the beans.
11
Serve the chili verde with rice, mashed pinto beans, and a fried egg. Garnish with cilantro and queso fresco.

Alternatively, assemble a wet burrito with the chili verde, rice, beans, and desired toppings.
