"This was the first time I made this. I read through the reviews and took advantage of everyones experience. I took a little from each person. I put the tomatillos and jalapenos in a pot with a littl..." See moree water (approx 1 cup) and steam/boiled them till they were soft. I also lightly floured the pork before searing in the skillet. After the pork was seared, I put the meat in a large crock pot. I put the stemed tomatillos, fresh cilantro leaves and stemed jalapenos in the blender for 1-2 min. I poured the mixture over the meat in the crock pot. I took the other peppers (yellow and poblano) and roasted them on the gas grill until they were blistered all over. I placed them in a plastic bag to cool..then under water peeled the skin off of each. I placed the yellow and pablano peppers in the blender and mixed for 1-2 min, then added this to the crock pot over the meat. I cooked the onions w/spices as instructed, and once the onions were soft I added 1/2 cup chicken broth to help deglaze the skillet then added this into the crock pot. I cut the recipe in half (service for 10), but the one IMPORTANT thing was that I added all the ingredients into the crock pot and then added the chicken stock LAST so I could control the thickness of the sauce. I ended up using approx 3 1/2 cups of chicken broth because the tomatillos and blended chilis made up the rest of the sauce. It was FANTASTIC....the BEST Verde ever! "
