Heat oil in the Dutch oven. The trick to making chile verde that's rich and fall-apart tender is the idea of building flavors at each step in the cooking process. The first flavor builder - roasting the tomatillos and peppers under a broiler. This gives the chile verde sauce a slightly smokey flavor, and cuts down on the sourness of the tomatillos. This Southwestern-style stew is loaded with tender chunks of pork and a variety of sweet and spicy peppers slowly cooked in a savory mixture of flavor-infused broth, green chiles and fresh cilantro.
