Made this for lunches last week, was very good. Still have a metric ton of pork shoulder in the freezer for some other use. No changes were needed.

Roasted Chili Verde with Pork and Rice
Deeply toasting, or charring, the tomatillos gives this verde sauce a smoky flavor.

Yield: Serves 4 (serving size: about 3/4 cup chili verde and 1/2 cup rice)
Total: 1 Hour, 25 Minutes

1 1/2 pounds tomatillos, husks and stems removed
Cooking spray
1 cup chopped onion, divided
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
1 teaspoon sugar
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1 jalapeño pepper, chopped
2 tablespoons canola oil, divided
1 pound boneless pork shoulder (Boston butt), trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 cup uncooked long-grain rice
1 (10-ounce) can mild diced tomatoes and green chiles, undrained
1 cup water
1 jalapeño pepper, sliced (optional)
Cilantro leaves (optional)

Preparation

1. Preheat broiler to high.
2. Place tomatillos on a baking sheet or jelly-roll pan coated with cooking spray. Broil 8 inches from broiler for 15 minutes or until skins blacken and tomatillos are soft.
3. Place tomatillos, pan juices, 3/4 cup onion, and next 4 ingredients (through chopped jalapeño) in a blender or a food processor; process until sauce is almost smooth.
4. Heat a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon oil to pan; swirl to coat. Sprinkle pork evenly with 1/4 teaspoon salt and black pepper. Add pork to pan. Sauté 6 minutes, turning to brown on all sides. Add tomatillo mixture to pan; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 1 hour or until pork is very tender, stirring occasionally.
5. Heat a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil to pan; swirl to coat. Add remaining 1/4 cup onion; sauté 2 minutes or until soft. Add rice; sauté 3 minutes, stirring frequently. Add remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, tomatoes, and 1 cup water to pan; bring to a boil. Cover and simmer 15 minutes or until liquid evaporates and rice is tender; do not stir. Divide rice among 4 plates. Top with pork mixture; garnish with sliced jalapeño and cilantro leaves, if desired.
