About

This pie combines all the elements of a good chile verde—succulent pork shoulder, tangy tomatillos, green chiles, fresh cilantro—and tops it off with a crunchy cornmeal crust.

Ingredients

3 pounds (1.4 kg) boneless pork shoulder
2 poblano chiles

Method

Preheat the oven to 275°F (135°C).

Separate the fat from the meat of the pork shoulder. Cut the fat into ¼-inch (6-mm) pieces and cut the meat into ½-inch (12-mm) pieces, and place both in your baking dish (see Note).
