>> aka: chile verde, puerco en salsa verde, green chile pork, chili verde, pork chile verde, instant pot chile verde, pressure cooker chile verde
>> pairs-with: corn-tortillas, mexican-red-rice
>> servings: 8
>> time: 1 hr 45 min
>> slack: narrow — under the broiler a poblano goes from blistered to ash in under a minute, and a burnt one cannot be peeled
>> washing-up: the Instant Pot, a tray to char the chiles on, a bowl to steam the skins loose in, the blender jug
>> keeps: 4 days — the tomatillo sharpness settles down and the sauce, looser than the oven version, warms fast

The char stays under the broiler. Steam is the one thing that will not blister a chile skin.

>> step: char under the broiler 12 min, peel
Char @tomatillos{1 1/2%lb}(680 g; husked), @poblano chiles{3}, @Anaheim chiles{2}, @jalapeños{2}, @white onion{1%large}(quartered), @garlic{6%cloves}(unpeeled) under a #broiler{} for ~broil{12%min}, turning once, then steam them covered and slip the skins off the poblanos.

>> step: blend with the cilantro
Blend @&(~1)charred vegetables{} with @cilantro{1%cup}(leaves and stems), @ground cumin{1%tsp}, @dried Mexican oregano{1%tsp}, @chicken stock{1%cup}(240 mL) to a loose green sauce — one cup, not two, since none of it will cook away.

>> step: brown 12 min, in batches
Brown @pork shoulder{3%lb}(1.4 kg; cut in 1 1/2-in cubes), @kosher salt{1%Tbs} in @lard{2%Tbs} on sauté in an #Instant Pot{} for ~brown{12%min}, in batches with room around every piece.

>> step: 35 min high pressure, natural release 15 min
Pressure cook @&(~1)browned pork{} under @&(~2)tomatillo sauce{}, the base scraped clean first, lid on and valve sealed: ~come to pressure{12%min}, then ~pressure cook{35%min} on high and ~natural release{15%min}.

>> step: finish with lime, lid off
Reduce @&(~1)pot{} on sauté with the lid off for ~reduce{10%min}, until the sauce has gone from bright to dull green, and finish it with @fresh lime juice{1%Tbs}.
