How about posting it without the link?

I'll see if I can figure it out [emoji38]

That recipe is going to be bland given that there's no: Basil, Oregano, Ginger, Bay leaves, Coriander/clilantro, Cumin or Terragon. It doesn't take much to give it a rich flavor.

If pork butt is used, instead of lean pork, there won't be a need for olive oil.

The pork will taste better if it is cooked/browned with minced fresh onion and minced fresh garlic, instead of powder.

Agreed. Definitely needs (1) Hatch chiles (Canned) Maybe a little epazote (?). I make Hatch salsa verde==I would use that over enchilada sauce=or a good jarred green salsa or stewed tomatillos with some stewed jalapenos.
 
Siracha is too "bitter"(?) I prefer Texas Pete's (even over tabasco).

Texas Pete's is salty vinegar with some heat. Sriracha should be its own food group. I go through at least two 28oz bottles of Rooster sauce a month. I use it every day like ketchup.

It ranks just below beer on the precious liquids scale.
 
I would have to run that Pork Butt through the smoker for four hours, eight if I wanted it falling apart....I'd go with Pecan or Mesquite. Real chili has no beans and is eaten with a fork or off a piece of flatbread, I like corn. Poured over polenta is an excellent way to eat good green chili.
 
I'm sure the posted recipe is a good one. Any meat will do, but I use the I use the following: elk cut in stew-sized chunks, potatoes in chunks, chopped garlic, cumin powder, chili powder, and green chiles. I've used fresh, skinned green chiles and I've used canned. The heat level varies a lot with peppers, but they all lose considerable heat, I'd guess 50% or more when cooked. You'll have to adjust this to your taste. Most recipes are a bit light on heat. Fresh chiles or fresh frozen are best, but I always run out of these and have to go to the canned, but canned is fine.

I've never seen a need to use a recipe with a simple dish like this one; add ingredients until it tastes right.
 
I love Chili

I throw anything related to a chili recipe into the pot. Usually I start with ground round but pork and leftover steak works just fine. When it comes to chili there are jarred/packet seasonings and herbs, canned chilis, fresh chilis, and dried whole chili peppers. Every one I add is an alarm. The best I've made was a 12 alarm. I'm lucky we have Mexican grocers close by here in Kansas City.
 
I make a basic green chili stew on a regular basis. We eat lots of that stuff around here. I use a variety of meats, but a lot is ground turkey, ground lamb, or some other game meat. Always with both ground and whole cumin, Mexican oregano, lots of garlic (green chili and garlic are joined at the hip), lots of onion. We also eat a lot of red chili, I made red chili with Antelope last week and we used it for Enchiladas. :D
 
Chuey's restaurant chain had a good green chili stew, but dropped it from the menu though they still have the flavoring on other items. Zantigo before they were bought out by Taco Bell had a great green chili burrito. Maybe I will take up cooking more in a few years.
