Recipe Introduction

" This delicious tomatillo-based sauce can be made with beef, pork or chicken though it is traditionally served with pork. Unfortunately, I don't have precise measurements of the seasonings, but do some tasting along the way! Serve it over rice for a delicious Mexican dish! "Submitted by: CHRISZEE777 WW Points
Makes 4 servings

4 large boneless pork chops, fat trimmed and reserved
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper, or to taste
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, or to taste
1/2 teaspoon seasoning salt, or to taste
1 lime, cut into 4 wedges
10 tomatillos, husked and cut in half
1 tomato, quartered
2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and halved
3 dried red chile peppers, chopped
1 clove garlic
1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste

1 Slice pork chops into strips, and season with pepper, garlic powder and seasoning salt. Squeeze lime juice over pieces.

2 Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add fat, and cook, stirring until pan is coated. Remove fat, and put the seasoned meat in the pan. Fry until browned, about 5 minutes.

3 At the same time, make the green sauce. Combine the tomatillos, tomato, jalapenos, and dried chilies in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, and cook until soft. Drain excess liquid, and transfer to a blender or food processor along with the garlic and salt. Blend until smooth.

4 Pour sauce over the meat in the pan, and simmer for 15 minutes to blend all of the flavors. Taste, and adjust salt and pepper if necessary.
