Chicharron en Salsa Verde

“Chicharron en Salsa Verde”, is a Mexican dish, made of succulent fried pork skin laced with a tangy salsa verde, is an ideal treat for culinary thrill-seekers seeking to explore the depths of authentic Mexican cuisine.

Puffed pork rinds are a traditional snack in Mexico, a way to make use of the entire animal and avoid wasting anything. The pork rind is cleaned and boiled, then left to dry, and finally fried to achieve puffed, crispy pork rinds that are so irresistibly crunchy and moreish.

A salsa verde is prepared using tomatillos, onion, garlic, jalapenos and coriander, ingredients can be simply boiled or lightly fried before blending into a tangy and smooth green-coloured sauce. By using our delicious Gran Luchito Tomatillo Enchilada Sauce you can save yourself some time and simply preheat the sauce once you are ready to prepare this dish at home.

What makes this dish so unique is the combination of textures and flavours, crunchy and salty chicharron smothered in a tangy tomatillo sauce, an explosion of flavours at every bite. The chicharrones are cooked briefly in the sauce, the idea is to coat the chicharrones with the salsa verde but still retain the central crunchiness.

We recommend this recipe for food enthusiasts in search of authentic Mexican flavours. Serve as a main course accompanied by warm Gran Luchito Refried Beans and warm Soft Tacos on the side.

We also recommend serving chicharron in salsa verde with our recipe for arroz primavera and guacamole.
