Spicy Pork Tenderloin Green Chili - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    8 ounces anaheim chilies (3-4 peppers)
    2 tablespoons canola oil
    1 1/2 lbs pork tenderloin, trimmed of fat and cut into 3/4 inch pieces
    3 large onions, chopped (3 cups)
    3 tablespoons garlic, minced
    1 lb fresh tomatillo, peeled and diced (about 4 cups)
    1 tablespoon ground cumin
    2 teaspoons dried oregano, crushed
    3 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
    1 cup water
    1 (15 ounce) can no-salt-added navy beans, rinsed and drained
    1 tablespoon lime juice
    2 tablespoons fresh cilantro leaves
Preparation
    Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Arrange chile peppers on a baking sheet. Roast for 25 to 30 minutes or until skins are dark, turning once halfway through roasting. Place chile peppers in a bowl; cover with plastic wrap and let stand for 10 minutes. Carefully remove skins and seeds, chop chile peppers. Set aside.
    In a 5-6 quart dutch oven heat oil over medium-high heat. Add pork; cook until browned. Add onions and garlic; cook about 5 minutes more or just until onions are tender, stirring occasionally. Add tomatillos, cumin, and oregano; cook for 3 minutes more, stirring occasionally.
    Stir in broth and the water. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in beans, lime juice and chopped chile peppers. Simmer for 5 minutes more. Stir in cilantro and serve.
