Lets go through our checklist: Beans - No Tomatoes - No Chili Powder - No Beef - Hell No  What we do have: 1&1/2lbs Tomatillos 5 Garlic Cloves 2 Large Jalapenos (chopped) 1 Bunch Cilantro (chopped) 3.65lbs Pork Shoulder (trimmed of excess fat and cut into 1 to 2-inch cubes) 2 1 Large Yellow Onion (diced) 1 Tbsp Oregano 2&1/2 Cups Chicken Stock    Oh yea, we're making Chili Verde  Remove papery husks from tomatillos and rinse. Cut in half and place cut side down, along with 5 unpeeled garlic cloves, on a foil-lined baking sheet.  Place under a broiler for about 10 minutes to lightly blacken the skin. Remove from oven, let cool enough to handle.  Place tomatillos, skins included, into blender. Remove the now roasted garlic cloves from their skins, add them to the blender. Add chopped Jalapeño peppers and cilantro to the blender.  Blend until all ingredients are finely chopped and mixed.  Season the pork cubes generously with salt and pepper. Brown on all sides in olive oil, set aside.  Pour off excess fat, add oregano and place the onions in the same skillet and cook until limp.  In a large soup pot and add the onion mixture and the pork to it. Add the tomatillo chili verde sauce to the pork and onions. Add the chicken stock.  Bring to a boil and reduce to a slight simmer. Cook for 2-3 hours uncovered or until the pork is fork tender. (Will cook down considerably)  Enjoy  |

The chili folk who think chili must have tomatoes are badly misinformed. Texans mostly...and people from places like Ohio, Maine and other third world states.
Im gonna go have my first beer of the evening while you all sort this out in a nice to one another manner. |

Although this is true, in a literal and technical sense this IS chili, it still is NOT chili. It's not chili by the assumed definition of the majority of people. If they have an assumption chili is a thick sauce with meat but the meat is beef and the sauce is tomato based, well, when there are chili threads, they are expected to revolve at least partially around that premise. Although this looks delicious and I would likely enjoy it, it isn't going to be filed in with my "chili" recipes. For what it's worth I tend to think that red sauced chilis are gross when they contain beans, and that noodles enhance the chili, so I'm probably a minority here as well. |

Texans know tomatoes, while arguably acceptable, are a non-standard ingredient in chili.

You would think the Texans would know what Chili Verde (aka "Green Chili") is It's very tasty The ICS (International Chili Society) rules are: 1. Traditional Red Chili is defined by the International Chili Society as any kind of meat or combination of meats, cooked with red chili peppers, various spices and other ingredients, with the exception of BEANS and PASTA which are strictly forbidden. 2. Chili Verde is defined by the International Chili Society as any kind of meat or combination of meats, cooked with green chili peppers, various spices and other ingredients, with the exception of BEANS and PASTA which are strictly forbidden. |

I know both of the above... I was saying people saw this thread and didn't think chili verde. I also said I know that I'm the minority in thinking so, but prefer chili with no beans and with noodles. That's just how it is at my house. |
