Cold New England Falls call for chili early and often. I’ve made white chicken chili and tequila lime turkey chili in weeks past, so the time had come to try a delicious pork and hominy chili. This is well-balanced chili. The sweetness of the pork, balances out the smoky tomatillos. Feel free to use several varieties of hot peppers. I added tomatoes to make it sweet and tangy. Throw in a splash of lime juice at the end to soothe your tongue. The sour cream and avocado helps that too! Enjoy and send me a picture of your chili.
