Chili Verde Starter
In its traditional form, chili verde is a hearty, vibrantly flavored pork stew that incorporates tart tomatillos, spicy peppers, onions and other fresh ingredients. Our Mexican-style Chili Verde Starter is as close to the real thing as you can get - and couldn't be easier to use. A tangy, spicy blend for making Mexican-style chili verde. Slow-cooked with traditional chili verde ingredients - roasted tomatillos and jalapeno peppers - plus pieces of nopale, or prickly pear cactus. The tart-spicy flavors are balanced by a savory blend of fresh garlic, onion, cilantro and Mexican epazote, an herb with a flavor akin to anise, used as a traditional seasoning. Just add pieces of browned pork or chicken and simmer to create a Mexican-style stew. For a mouthwatering summertime dish, use the starter as a sauce over grilled shrimp. It's also delicious as a topping for burritos and enchiladas. 30 oz. Made in USA. A Williams-Sonoma exclusive.

Yummy Chili Verde
April 6, 2013
This was an experiment for me as I have never had Chili Verde before. I bought it based on the reviews and thought it would be great for those busy evenings when I don't have a lot of time to cook. I just followed the simple directions on the bottle, but I used a lean pork loin cut up into chunks, browning the pork in my dutch oven and adding the sauce. It didn't require more than 1 1/2 hour cooking time in my dutch oven. I just cooked it on top of my stove.
I served it over rice and my family loved it. It does have some heat to it, but just the right amount. Not too spicy, and not too bland. I will buy this again for a quick, easy chili verde meal.

Have been using this starter for quite a while and it is a family favorite. I usually add a bit of jalapeño pepper because we like it spicy.

Delicious!

This Chile Verdi starter sauce is delicious. The first time I made it, my family couldn't get enough. I thought I would have leftovers, but that did not happen. I've made it for friends too and everyone raves about it. Can't believe this sauce comes in a bottle.
Pros: Easy to Prepare, Quality, Good for Entertaining, Time-saver, Flavor

Winner every time!
May 28, 2012
This sauce has a most authentic flavor and our Mexican family loves it. Made it again tonight and my husband said it outdid his favorite restaurant.
As with other sauces, it is a bit expensive, but with all the authentic ingredients it would be hard to duplicate if you had to buy so many different things.
Tried it in a crock pot once and don't recommend it. Becomes too watered down. Oven method on the label is easy and delicious!
Pros: Texture, Amount, Easy to Prepare, Authentic, Quality, Good for Entertaining, Time-saver, Flavor, Healthy, Great Gift

Surprisingly good!

I bought this a few months ago and finally got around to using it for President's Day. I added some fresh green chili's and a bit of evaporated milk but it had a good flavor all on it's own. I highly recommend this product..
Pros: Easy to Prepare, Time-saver, Flavor
