Irish people, you are off the hook.<\/p>\n<p>But we live in a section of the globe that revels in another green thing, so special to us and our place in cooking that it surprises me that we hereabouts are not awash in it on March 17.<div class=\"su-callout-box col-xs-12 col-sm-6 right\" style=\"background-color:#dce4e7; color:#2e3b44;\">Read other <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uchealth.org\/today\/tag\/bill-st-john\/\">great articles and recipes<\/a> by Bill St. John. <\/div>\n<p>I refer to the chile pepper and its finest epiphany, chile verde. I mean, it is the near-iconic food of the State of Colorado, not to say its queen city. It has a beautiful pronunciation of \u201cgreen\u201d in its very name. Where and when did we miss the junction of it and El D\u00eda de San Patricio?<\/p>\n<p>Course correction here. First course, a cup. Second course, a big bowl with steamed flour tortillas. Or a burrito the size of a teenager\u2019s leg smothered in it. Third course \u2014 no, don\u2019t sweeten it with anything; leave it be. Honor it.<\/p>\n<p>It is <em>our<\/em> green thing.<\/p>\n<p>This recipe has a righteous (albeit Anglo) lineage. It was birthed in longtime Denver Post Food Editor Helen Dollaghan\u2019s \u201cDenver Post Pork Green Chile,\u201d one of her more-requested recipes (at the eight Super Bowl appearances of the Denver Broncos, there were noticeable blips in her mail), adapted to the Instant Pot by my son, Colin Francis, and tinkered on by yours truly.<\/p>\n<p>There was little tinkering, to tell the truth, except at the edges of technique. The whole truth is that this former restaurant critic (12 years, both dailies, hundreds of eateries, 43 gained pounds) never has or had sampled a better pork green chile\u2014 chile verde \u2014 than his son\u2019s.<\/p>\n<p>It is delicious, <em>delicioso<\/em>, worthy of a Saint.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Instant Pot Chile Verde<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Adapted by Colin and Bill St. John from a recipe created by legendary Denver Post food editor Helen Dollaghan. Serves 4<\/p>\n<p>Note:\u00a0The most ubiquitous chile brands on the Front Range are from Select New Mexico (which is actually a Denver-based company) and Bueno. Chiles almost always are sold as either \u201chot\u201d or \u201cmild\u201d only. If you prefer a medium heat, buy a package of each and double the recipe. Or add some jalape\u00f1os or serranos to a mild batch. If you use fresh chiles, chop them and add at least enough broth to cover to the rest of the ingredients.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Ingredients<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>1 pound pork, cut into 1 1\/2-inch cubes (lean pork shoulder, loin or chop)<\/p>\n<p>1 teaspoon kosher or sea salt<\/p>\n<p>Freshly ground pepper to taste<\/p>\n<p>1\/4 cup canola oil<\/p>\n<p>1 tablespoon ground cumin<\/p>\n<p>1 1\/2 tablespoons dark chile powder<\/p>\n<p>1 1\/2 tablespoons dried oregano<\/p>\n<p>2 cloves garlic, crushed<\/p>\n<p>1 medium onion, diced<\/p>\n<p>1 14.5-ounce can low-sodium chicken broth<\/p>\n<p>1 24-ounce package or 2 13-ounce packages frozen roasted green chiles, defrosted (or the equivalent in fresh-roasted green chiles)<\/p>\n<p>1 tablespoon tomato paste<\/p>\n<p>1 lime, halved<\/p>\n<p>Sides of flour or corn tortillas, crumbled tortilla chips, chopped cilantro, diced avocado, lime wedges, shredded cheese<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Directions<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Set your Instant Pot to Saut\u00e9 and, once hot, add oil and pork. Brown pork on all sides, sprinkling with salt and pepper. Add cumin, chile powder, oregano, garlic and onion, and stir well. Add broth, chopped chiles, tomato paste and squeeze of one half of lime. Stir well; saut\u00e9 until mixture in pot just begins to bubble. Press Cancel.<\/p>\n<p>Close the lid and cook on High Pressure for 25 minutes, then allow for 5 minutes <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pressurecookingtoday.com\/quick-pressure-release-or-natural-pressure-release\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Natural Release followed by a Quick Release<\/a>. Open the lid and serve with the sides.<\/p>\n<p>For additional chile heat: Add seeded and chopped jalape\u00f1o or serrano chiles along with the chopped and roasted green chiles in the cooking pot, or the same, fresh, seeded and finely chopped as part of the sides.<\/p>\n<p><em>Reach Bill St John at <\/em><a href=\"mailto:billstjohn@gmail.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em>billstjohn@gmail.com<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Perhaps no other American holiday than St. Patrick\u2019s Day shows how we shoehorn food themes into all our big days.

He writes and teaches about restaurants, wine, food &amp; wine, the history of the cuisines of several countries (France, Italy, Spain, Belgium, and the USA), about religion and its nexus with food, culture, history, or philosophy, and on books, travel, food writing, op-ed, and language. Bill has lent (and lends) his subject matter expertise to such outlets as The Rocky Mountain News, The Denver Post, The Chicago Tribune, 5280 Magazine, and for various entities such as food markets, wine shops, schools &amp; hospitals, and, for its brief life, Microsoft\u2019s sidewalk.com. In 2001 he was nominated for a James Beard Award in Journalism for his 12 years of writing for Wine &amp; Spirits Magazine. Bill's experience also includes teaching at Regis University and the University of Chicago and in classrooms of his own devising; working as on-air talent with Denver's KCNC-TV, where he scripted and presented a travel &amp; lifestyle program called \"Wine at 45\"; a one-week stint as a Trappist monk; and offering his shoulder as a headrest for Julia Child for 20 minutes. Bill has also visited 54 countries, 42 of the United States, and all 10 Canadian provinces.","url":"https:\/\/www.uchealth.org\/today\/author\/bstjohn\/"}]}},"coauthors":[{"id":2197,"name":"Bill St. John, for UCHealth","link":"https:\/\/www.uchealth.org\/today\/author\/bstjohn\/"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uchealth.org\/today\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29319","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uchealth.org\/today\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uchealth.org\/today\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uchealth.org\/today\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2197"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uchealth.org\/today\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=29319"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/www.uchealth.org\/today\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29319\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":80561,"href":"https:\/\/www.uchealth.org\/today\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29319\/revisions\/80561"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uchealth.org\/today\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/29325"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uchealth.org\/today\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=29319"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uchealth.org\/today\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=29319"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uchealth.org\/today\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=29319"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
