    Welcome to the neighborhood. Here is a link from my cookin' site to Mrs ~t~'s recipe. If you try it, the key is the flavors from the bark formed from the spices that are roasted atop the ground pork. This step can be done in the Egg.

    Green Chili

    PS cook about 1 pound extra of the meat.... When it's ready to go into the stock pot or Dutch oven, it will be done around the edges of the pan (the center will not be done) and great for snacking.

    Thirdeye's Green Chili is to die for.

    Besides soup, if there are any extra, make green chile sauce and use it on eggs for breakfast, mixed with sour cream for enchiladas suizas, or over the top of tortilla burgers. I have my version of the burgers (and the green chile sauce recipe we like) on our travel blog/website from last October.

    Oh, we also like them in carnitas - either crock pot style or chopped up and fried with some onions and pulled pork from the Egg (with a little Bohemia for moisture if needed)

    Here is a link of a recipe I posted. Manage the heat with the chili's and you can feed children or ravin' heat lover's.
