Crispy pork rinds simmered in tangy tomatillo green salsa until they soften and absorb all the flavors. A beloved family comfort food that transforms a simple ingredient into a satisfying meal.
1. In a medium saucepan, place tomatillos, onion, jalapeño, and garlic. Cover with water, bring to a simmer over medium heat for 8–10 minutes until tomatillos turn olive green.
2. Drain vegetables and transfer to a blender. Add cilantro and blend until smooth salsa forms; adjust blending for a slightly chunky texture if desired.
3. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Pour in blended salsa and sauté for 3–4 minutes, stirring, until salsa thickens slightly and bubbles.
4. Add chicken broth, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Bring to a gentle simmer, then taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
5. Fold in pork rinds, making sure they are submerged in sauce. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 10–15 minutes until chicharrón softens and absorbs the salsa flavors. Serve hot.
