Mexican traditional dish, crunchy pork skin in hot green sauce. Don't forget your tortillas for your tacos.

SERVES 6 , 30 tacos (change servings and units)

Ingredients

  • 500 g crispy fried pork skins
  • 500 g tomatillos
  • 1 cup chicken stock
  • 8 serrano peppers
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 onion
  • 2 cilantro stems
  • 2 tablespoons cooking oil

Directions

  1. 1
    Grill tomatillos and serrano chiles.
  2. 2
    In a food processor, blend tomatillos, chicken broth, garlic, peppers, salt, onions and half of the cilantro.
  3. 3
    In a deep sauce pan, heat the oil and cook the sauce for 15 - 20 minutes.
  4. 4
    In the meantime break the pork chicharron (crispy fried pork skin) down to medium sized pieces (1 - 2 inches) and add to the sauce when cooked.
  5. 5
    Cook for an additional 5 - 10 minutes. The sauce should be thick but also still runny, so you may need to add some water or chicken stock.

    Before serving sprinkle remaining chopped cilantro.
  7. 7
    Enjoy your tacos!
