This one was so good and easy, I had to write it up! While I was able to use Hatch chilies this time around, Pastilla or Anaheim would work just as well.
INGREDIENTS
- Chilies, medium size x4
- 1/2 yellow onion
- Roma Tomatoes x2
- Garlic x4 cloves (or more, dealers choice here)
- 1 12oz can/bottle of beer, pilsner
- 1 TBSP Olive Oil
- Cilantro, salt and pepper to taste
- Center cut pork loin, 1/2″ x4
THE STEPS The key to this recipe is actually roasting the onions and peppers. On the grill works perfectly for this and it will make your neighbors jealous. With the peppers, after you roast them put them into a bag to steam for 5-10 minutes. Once that is done you can peel the outer skin off.
Coarse chop the onions and peeled peppers, about 1/4″ to 1/2″ dice. Do the same to the tomatoes and put a fine chop on the garlic and cilantro. Mix it all in bowl with the olive oil and taste. Add salt and pepper as needed.
Get your straight-sided saute pan hot and add the beer on medium heat. Add the chops and cook for about 2 minutes on each side. Add the pepper mixture and mix it all together as best as you can. Cook for 20-30 minutes, flipping the chops every 5-7 minutes until the pork is done. Add
SERVICE
Slice your pork into 1/4″ slices and top with the sauce from the pan. Garnish with any remaining cilantro or coarse ground black pepper.
Getting the chilies prepped is the most time consuming part of this dish. But it’s super simple and doesn’t really take that much time. The results are amazing! If you are against cooking with adult beverages, that’s too bad because the tomato cooks up nicely with it. You can substitute chicken stock with a good pinch of salt.
