This vibrant green pork chilli offers a refreshing alternative to the traditional tomato-based version. By blending fresh jalapeños, white onion and garlic into a piquant purée, you create a deep, savoury base that perfectly complements the tender minced pork. The addition of hominy provides a satisfying, chewy texture, while the fresh coriander and toasted pumpkin seeds add a bright, nutty finish to every spoonful.
As a high-protein dish, this meal is an excellent choice for those looking for a nutritious and filling dinner that does not skimp on flavour. It is remarkably quick to prepare, making it a reliable option for a busy weeknight. Serve it alongside some crumbled salty cheese for a balanced, homemade meal that the whole family will enjoy.

Ingredients for Green Chilli with Pork
1 medium white onion, quartered
2 (3- to 4-inch) fresh jalapeño chillies, stemmed and quartered, including seeds
2 garlic cloves, peeled and smashed
425ml reduced-sodium chicken broth (425ml )
60ml vegetable oil
450g pork mince
1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1/4 teaspoons salt
1 (14- to 425g ) can white hominy (also called pozole), rinsed and drained
1/3 cup finely chopped fresh coriander

How to make Green Chilli with Pork
Purée onion, chillies, and garlic with 120ml chicken broth in a blender.
Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a 4-quart heavy pot over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then brown pork, stirring and breaking up clumps with a fork, just until no longer pink, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a bowl with a slotted spoon. Pour off all but 1 tablespoon fat from pot.
Add remaining 45ml oil to pot and heat over moderately high heat until hot, then carefully add purée (it will spatter), cumin, and salt. Cook, stirring frequently, until mixture is thickened and most of liquid is evaporated, about 10 minutes.
Add pork, hominy, coriander, and remaining 300ml broth and simmer gently, uncovered, stirring occasionally, 10 minutes. Serve chilli sprinkled with pumpkin seeds and cheese.
