This Instant Pot Pork Chili Verde recipe is a quick, healthy dinner that couldn't be easier! Made with simple ingredients, it's full of flavor and the leftovers make a great lunch!
Hi friends!
We're quickly approaching the one year anniversary of me purchasing my Instant Pot and my love for it has not yet diminished! I have this one (affiliate link) and I snagged it at last year's Cyber Monday sale on Amazon…which is coming up so be on the lookout if you're thinking about getting one!
Anyways, if you follow my Instagram stories, you may have seen me make this on a whim a couple weeks ago…and then immediately make it again because according to hubby it was "pretty good for just winging it".
I've made pork chili verde in the past, but I usually go all out and make homemade salsa verde with roasted tomatillos, etc. This soup came about on a night where my main thought was "ain't nobody got time for that". I pretty much just threw all the ingredients in the instant pot and hoped for the best! And it worked. My hope was that the tomatillos would break down on their own to be more salsa-like and I also added sweet potatoes that I knew from experience would kinda fall apart to help thicken it up and make it a bit more stew-like.
So here's how you make it:
Instant Pot Pork Chili Verde
This Instant Pot Pork Chili Verde recipe is a quick, healthy dinner that couldn't be easier! Made with simple ingredients, it's full of flavor and the leftovers make a great lunch!
Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp oil
- 1 pound tomatillos chopped (approximately 3 cups)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 3/4 cup diced onion
- 2.5 cups diced sweet potatoes
- 2 serrano peppers, minced (optional)
- 2 pounds pork stew meat
- 1/2 cup broth
- 2-3 Tbsp chopped cilantro
Instructions
Turn Instant Pot to saute. Add all ingredients except the broth and cilantro and saute for 5 minutes, then turn off.
Add broth and cilantro. Set Instant Pot for 20 minutes using manual mode.
Use the quick release method, stir well to help the sweet potatoes and tomatillos break down even further.
Serve warm! Optional toppings include avocado, salsa, cheese, etc.
And that's it! So easy.
Note- I think you could make this in the crockpot but I'm not sure that the tomatillos would break down quite as much. And you'd probably need to add some extra broth.
Enjoy!
