Away from the chicken, salsa verde + sour cream makes a pretty
fair salad dressing!

I don't think it can get any less complicated than that. Thank you.
Have you a recommendation for ratios or just to taste?

Left to my own devices, I would probably just simmer the thighs in some
salsa and serve it with rice and beans. Do I want to involve any tomato
stuff?

Thanks.



Pan fry the thighs in a nonstick skillet. You might need to add a
little chicken fat or butter. When they are almost done, add some
sliced onions (and I would add diced jalapeños or some cayenne pepper.)
When it's finished cooking, tear the chicken into big pieces and roll
up in warm flour tortillas with grated sharp cheddar, sour cream, and
some of the salsa. Eat the rest of the salsa with chips.

Bob

Thanks. HWSRN is getting finicky-er about fat -- won't do cheese at all
and would scrape the sour cream off. I like aem's suggestion for its
simplicity. I may make it for me and Rob can have a Marie Callender pot
pie.

What cut of pork?

A large chunk of pork butt (shoulder) is best for chile verde,
preferably bone-in; for a smaller batch shoulder chops work.

And it makes a huge difference to use free-range pork.

Well Peter, not everyone would agree. It makes sense if she's making salsa

I'm from the deep south in the US, and we make something like this
called "Ro-tel chicken" only we use ro-tel spicy peppers and tomatoes
(like extra chunky salsa...with only 2 ingredients) and we bake it as
a cacerole over a bed of egg noodles. I imagine though with green
salsa, it may look like baby puke.

However, if you really wanted to make this southern style, you'd fry
the chicken, make some black-eyed peas, and put the green salsa on top
of the peas.

Ok so now we have bee's knees, cat's PJ and ducks guts....Do you boil
sautee or braise and how much garlic? This is starting to sound good. Of
course you strain it through the PJs; don't you? When do the snake's
suspenders fit into the picture?

I wouldn't cook the salsa at all, but add it only after plating.
