Roasted Pork White Chili Recipe sponsored by Pompeian OlivExtra Premium

Oh my stars… this is by far my favorite time of the year, SOUP season!! We finally had a super chilly weekend this weekend and it was a perfect time to ramp up my soup, stew & chili making skills. We have chili cook-off coming up here in Lincoln, so I thought I would start working on a fantastic white chili recipe. One of my favorite recipes is a White Chicken Chili that I crave year round. This time I used a scrumptious roast pork that I browned in Pompeian OlivExtra® Premium Mediterranean Blend.

Pompeian OlivExtra®Premium Mediterranean Blend is a unique, healthy blend of canola, extra virgin and grapeseed oil, representing key components of the Mediterranean Diet. This innovative blended oil provides the robust taste of extra virgin olive oil and the high smoke point ofgrape seedoil, making this the perfect oil to brown my pork roast.

Doesn’t that look scrumptious?! Because of the oil blend it’s perfect for the higher temperatures required for browning and frying.

This recipe is perfect for using left-over roast pork. Make up this same pork recipe and use it for tacos one night and chili the next, it’s perfect!!

  6. Add minced garlic, additional cumin and oregano and cook for an additional minute.
  7. Add chicken broth, beans, hominy. Place over high heat and bring to a low simmer.
  8. Shred pork and place two cups of shredded pork to the pot along with the pan drippings
  9. Simmer for 10 minutes.
