Chicharrones En Salsa Verde

Recipe #247605 | 30 min | 5 min prep | add private note

This is a typical plate at my house, my DH loves it. It is basically pork rinds, in a tomatillo sauce. Started making my own salsa, since the canned ones that I bought, weren't that good. This is how my Mom would make it, back home. If you don't have a "Carniceria" (store, specialized in meat cuts), buy the kind of pork rinds in a packet/bag.

SERVES 4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    To make the salsa, boil the tomatillos (without the papery husk), and jalapenos, until the jalapenos change color. Put all the tomatillos, and jalapenos in a blender, add some of the water that was used to boil them. Add the onion coarsley chopped, along with the cilantro, garlic salt and bouillion.
  2. 2
    To prevent minor burns, either use a clean washcloth instead of the top of the blender to cover, or if your blender top has the little attachment you can remove, remove it before you blend the hot ingredients. Blend everything.
  3. 3
    Chop the chicharrones to bite size, and reserve.
  4. 4
    Heat up some oil in a large skillet, add the salsa, and bring it to a boil, before adding the chicharrones.
  5. 5
    Let everything simmer for some 15 minutes before serving.
  6. 6
    Serve hot, with refried beans and flour tortillas.

    Very good chicharrones recipe! Easy and quick, with helpful info! This is much like the way I always make chicharrones, but I never did bother to measure or write anything down! Nice to have a reference. I do like more sauce for my chicharrones, so I only used one pound and kept the rest of the quantities the same.

    Bless you for sharing this!!! When I lived in Mexico in the '60s this was a regular on the table of my Mexican abuelita (My univ. in Mexico City required two year of immersion with a non-English speaking family). The only difference is that she would use fresh garlic and would "fry" the sauce with a little lard before adding the chicharrones. I so dare people to join us in the love of this!!!! T.J.
