GREEN PORK CHILI 
2 red onions, chopped
1 pound tomatillos, husked, rinsed, and halved
3 jalapenos, stemmed, seeded and halved
2 garlic cloves
4 tablespoons canola oil
2 pounds boneless pork shoulder, cut into 1-inch cubes
5 cups chicken stock
1 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
salt
pepper
10 flour tortillas, warmed

Preheat the oven to 400°F. In a large bowl, toss the onions, tomatillos, jalapenos, and garlic with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and spread on a baking sheet. Roast until soft and starting to brown, about 20 to 30 minutes, stirring twice during roasting.

Meanwhile, in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat, add the oil and heat. Brown the pork, in batches, until well-browned. Add all of the pork back to the pan and cover with chicken stock. Add the roasted vegetables, cover the pan and place in the oven. Cook until the pork is very tender, about 1 1/2 hours.

While pork is cooking, place the cilantro in a food processor. Add 2 tablespoons of water and puree. Remove the pork from the oven and stir in the cilantro puree.

Season, to taste, with salt and pepper.

Serve with warm flour tortillas.

Yum, Yum. I made fresh vegetable stock from the tops and bottoms of onions and garlic, jalapeno pepper seeds and stems. I cooked this the entire time that I was preparing everything else. I strained the stock just before adding to the pork. I still used chicken bouillon for seasoning. I marinated my pork pieces in Italian dressing for about a half hour and then browned them in the oil. I decreased the oven temperature to 300°F. for slow cooking. It was wonderful. Very tasty. I thought it might be too spicy with the jalapeno seeds cooked in the stock, but it was perfect.

This is a pretty good recipe, however, it doesn't mention removing the skins from the jalapeno's after roasting, I would think this very important.
