One of my favorites. This comes from Elizabeth Lambert Ortiz's Complete Book of Mexican Cooking, now long out of print. The recipe is as I know it by heart:
Quote:
Pollo Verde
1 chicken (roughly 4 pounds), cut up
1 cup white wine
1 cup chicken stock
10 ounces tomatillos*
4 serrano peppers, seeded and deveined (jalapenos will do)
1 medium white onion, cut up coarsely
1 large handful cilantro (coriander) leaves
1 large handful (preferably Italian flat)

This is from Marcella Hazan's Classic Italian Cookbook. We make it all the time.

This is one of my favorites. I made this for the shelter last week; first Saturday of the month's my day. I simply quadrupled the quantities. I kept out some, and Marcia and I had it for dinner, with noodles. For this large amount, I used a big (~6 lb) can of diced tomatoes.
