Description

Green chili salsa with pork is a traditional dish from Mexican cuisine that combines juicy, slow-cooked pork with a salsa made from green chilies, typically serrano or jalapeño peppers, tomatillos, and spices. This salsa provides a refreshing and slightly spicy flavor that enhances the taste of the pork, resulting in a succulent and aromatic mixture, ideal for preparing tacos, burritos, quesadillas, or as a side dish for various meals.

Origin: Green chili salsa with pork has its roots in Mexican cuisine, especially in regions such as Puebla, Veracruz, and the central part of the country, where the use of green chilies and pork is very common. This preparation reflects the fusion of native ingredients and traditional culinary techniques.

Properties: This combination is rich in protein thanks to the pork and provides vitamin C and antioxidants from the green chilies and tomatillos. Additionally, it is a moderate source of fats that provide energy. Green chilies also contain capsaicin, which may help improve circulation and has anti-inflammatory effects.

Synonyms in Spanish from Latin America: depending on the region, this ingredient or dish may be known as carnitas en salsa verde, cerdo en salsa de chiles verdes, or simply chile verde con cerdo. In some countries, it is recognized as guiso de cerdo en salsa verde or cerdo en chile verde.
