Hey Kenji, you'll probably never read this, but i just wanted to thank you for your Videos. I really like how much you know about even simple ingredients and how relaxing it is to watch your Videos. I'm living alone (in Germany) and your cooking shows really made me thinking more about cooking and the Ingredients i could use to conjure something healthy and great to eat.

My takeaway from this video (aside from the great recipe) is that Kenji trusts the hinges on his oven door way more than I ever could...

I've learned so much just from listening to his explanations of why he is doing something a certain way but yet, I greatly appreciate his comfort and looseness.

Absolutely the most accurate green chili recipe I have ever seen on KZread!!!! Almost exactly how I do it!! I just use a lot of green onions instead of white. The dark tops go in the sauce, the white ends are for sauté .

One of my all-time favorite things to eat. I love pork chile verde so much. Sometimes I add potatoes to mine, but I always squeeze a little lime juice on at the end and eat it with a flour tortilla. So comforting

Kenji, daily I take care of my 2 and a half year old son and my 6 year old step son and we love watching your videos and trying the recipes. This one looks amazing too.

Shabu: ANYTHING THAT MOVES , Jamón: Ima smell check that first

the outro with "guys, gals, and nonbinary pals" really made me feel smile. thanks for another great vid

Kenji is a national treasure. So wholesome and knowledgeable.

This is one of my wife's favorite dishes of all time. Usually in the form of enchiladas.

I made this recipe tonight exactly as done in this video. Wow! The pork is incredibly delicious! I used 4 large hot Hatch Chile’s and 3 jalapeños. I’ve never cooked tomatillos before or ground cumin seeds. Grinding cumin seeds in my Molcajete smells amazing! Anyway after cooking for 3 hours, the pork is absolutely amazing. The last time I had pork Chile this good was when I was stationed at Sierra Vista AZ 30 years ago.

This has become one of my favorite channels, I love all these recipes

Gotta love Monday morning uploads. Great start to the week.

Q: When is a lid not a lid? A: When it's ajar. (I'll be here all week. Try the chili verde and be sure to tip your servers well...)

I don't know why it's taken until now to say this after watching all of your videos but thanks for being a top human being, kenji.

After watching your videos I went out and bought 50 of those clear plastic storage containers with lids. Such a big difference in mise en place and food storage. Thanks!

I've been making this recipe for a while, since I first read it, and wife and I love just spooning this over plain white rice. So simple yet so delicious.

I just got 10lbs of hot Hatch Chile’s delivered from New Mexico and have some tomatillos and the other ingredients being delivered today. This video inspired me to buy a Dutch oven and order the Chile’s. I haven’t eaten real green Chile in 30 years. That will change soon!

It‘s such a simple skill for most people, but I enjoy it so much seeing you chop that onion or anything else. Very satisfying!

The pressure cooker version of this is one of my favorite recipes of yours; I make it at least once every other week.

Chile verde is easily my favorite meal to eat. Looks incredible.

My husband loves chile verde so I made your recipe and we both loved it. I froze half so we can enjoy it again this Fall - if we can wait that long. Thank you for posting these cooking videos, they’re super inspirational.

50 years ago I was in Portsmouth, England staying with a family who made a dessert called gooseberry flip. I remember nothing else about it but the name has always stuck in my mind. FYI

You’re the man Kenji! Really appreciate your videos

Thank you.This is an outstanding recipe. Between the dutch oven and pressure cooker versions I have probably made this over twenty times. I make it for my lunches to take to work.

Thank you so much for the explanations behind why you do things like putting water in the sliced onions or leaving the lid ajar in the oven.

Another amazing video from one of my favourite youtubers, thank you Kenji for everything you do ☺️

I made your salsa verde recipe recently and absolutely loved it. First time I've ever made my own salsa. I've also been making your half-scrambled eggs a lot recently, best eggs I've ever had. Thanks for all the great recipes and videos!

Great video Kenji. Thanks for teaching me so much!

I wish Kenji answered questions in the comments. Maybe he should organize live sessions like Chef John :) In my family's tradition, in Turkey, we always grill veggies before the coals are ready for the meat, in the initial flaming heat (while the coals are still grey but not white). Aubergine, peppers, tomatoes, and courgette, all of them whole. This is to cook them as quickly as possible to prevent the juices from escaping. I would have really liked to know if the veggies dry at all when cooked towards the end. Either way, it is a great way to utilize your coals efficiently. Where I live now, in the Netherlands, barbecue culture is very weak. Everyone barbecues in the summer, but with supermarket-bought torture-burgers and sausage. No real meat, practically no flavors, no spices. Cook 2 sets of supermarket-marinated food and waste all the coal.

Kenji's videos are like a visual podcast. Plenty of educational material, with a wealth of interesting tidbits to keep things exciting.

just made this, following the written version of the recipe and it is unreal.. it's going into the regular rotation. Cheers Kenji

Kenji, I made this for my girlfriend and my beloved cleaner. They both adored it! I paired it with Joshua Weissmans flour tortilla, cilantro, and made some rice with the leftover chicken stock I made. Took me the whole day (making chicken stock was brunt of it) but man it was INCREDIBLE. Many thanks!

I love better than bouillon! Do yourself a favor and buy it in bulk at Costco. A small container at the store cost 7.50 for the organic stuff, and its only 6 bucks at Costco (4.50 when its on sale!) for a container that is twice the size. Saving ourselves a lot of fridge space and money not buying stock anymore. Always have the beef and the chicken on hand now. Awesome video Kenji! My brother from Colorado approves!

Hi Kenji! Thank You 🙏 again for another amazing Recipe! Brian From NJ!

Kenji, your camera magic edits tops. Seriously, great job!

Thanks for all the hard work. Superb videos

As a New Mexican who no longer lives in New Mexico, this is one dish that I miss. It looks super delicious!

my mouth is watering watching this, bravo!

I like to finish with the cilantro. I puree the leaves and mince the stems. Adds great color and a fresh texture. I put the leaves in the blender with a little hot stock as an on the fly blanching. Roasting the onions (skin-on) with the chilis adds more roasty flavor.

Love this recipe and your videos. I originally made the recipe as posted on serious eats a few months ago and noted that the recipe said to peel the peppers under running water, but that you said not to do so in the video. I just made it again without the water and the flavor difference was definitely notable.

NAILED that transition kenji

I make this dish maybe every three months and always bring a bowl over for my neighbor. Incredible flavors and it's fun to watch how J. Kenji goes about making it... particularly because I always wondered just how ajar is ajar?? Thanks for your vids man. Keep em coming !

My mom does the same but she adds diced tomatoes and potatoes, and she simmers the pork which is diced and stammered before hand with water either way I love both recipes

Nice work as always, Chef Kenji.

we all love kenji

When my family makes something like this we usually will cook the pork in water and allow it to completely boil away, so all we get is the rendered pork fat and yummy browning on the meat, then will add the sauce and let it simmer for a few. I like how Kenji adds cotija cheese to basically anything it's very mexican of him

Hey Kenji I love all your videos, where did you get your salt box, I've been shopping around but I couldn't find one like yours.

Just made it with grapes and lime instead of tomatillos, and no mexican peppers, just the green ones from my grandparents' garden. Great! Thx!

Been experimenting with green chili for years. I’m so proud of me to have almost the same way you do it. Only I use jalapeños that are in vinegar. My brother always says use fresh but that vinegar jalapeños just does something I love. Maybe it’s like a lime after cooking. I dint know.

One of the first recipes I cooked from the Food Bible, aka my copy of The Food Lab. 100/10, can't wait for your next book!

Green Chili is manna from heaven. To the pork shoulder I sometimes add one smoked ham hock and one or two fresh (not smoked) pork shanks. And some blackstrap mollasses.

I always learn at least a few tips and tricks watching your videos!

love some Chile verde. Not sure if it was your recipe or someone else's, but learned this roast chile method and do rifts on it often. It is great both as salsa or with the pork. I love that you used Hatch when they are available. Missed out this year.
