I had paired pasillas with beef and chicken before, but never on pork. It was a very nice flavor, especially with the potatoes. I used cubed pork butt to make this because I find pork chops too dry and I cubed the potatoes as well. It took about 25-30 minutes to cook. Tip: cook the tomatillos in the microwave for about 2-3 minutes, halfway covered with water, make sure to pierce them before cooking though. Oh and be sure to getreal pasillas, as other chiles have different flavors. Thank you Elmotoo. Made for ZWT 5 & Dining Daredevils'.

I'm am so glad that I stumbled upon this recipe. I made a dish very similar to this one and I lost the recipe. The only true different was that this one you puree the ingredients and the one I tried you chopped and cubed them. So that is what I did. DH and I just love the heated flavor of this stew. I did cut the recipe in half and DH ate two servings for dinner tonight. Thanks for posting. Made for Spring PAC 2009.

Despite a great fondness for Mexican cooking, until now I had never made anything with tomatillos other than salsa. So when I saw this, I knew I had to give it a try. The sauce is very easy to prepare. I kept the seeds of the chili pepper for my sauce because i like a bit of heat. My dish took almost 75 minutes before my post was tender and my potatoes were cooked. This surprised me as my boneless chops were not especially thick. At 45 the sauce was still quite thin and watery and both the meat and potatoes were firm. I had a low simmer so I don't think the flame was too low. Once everything was done, it was fairly tasty. The tomatillos had a slightly sweet taste which was a nice contrast to the fire of the dried chili. The potatoes did a particularly nice job of absorbing the flavor and could easily stand on their own. If time is an issue, I think next time I would diced the meat & potatoes and make more of a stew. Would also consider some additional spices, perhaps cumin, black pepper, epazote and/or Mexican oregano, to create a little more dimension in the dish. Thanks.
