Pork Chili Verde

Pull out the surgical gloves for this one- lots of chile chopping that leads to great flavor, and a mild heat that tingles your tongue but will burn your fingertips! I made this for my own chile verde cookoff. My dbf chose this one as the winner, and i went with recipe #369095 as my favorite. I mixed the two together and shared it with my colleagues who eagerly ate some for lunch and then brought home little bowls to share with their families. I'm happy they thought it was good enough to share- i hope you enjoy it too! Chile verde always tastes better the second day! adapted to include less chicken stock (down form 4 1/2 quarts) from the foodnetwork.
