Green Chili #22 with Tomatillo

This one verged on picante sweet with good acid. Served it in breakfast burritos with brined and fried potatoes, eggs, bacon and longhorn cheddar. I'd give this one a "3" on the heat scale of 1 to 10, so most anyone will eat this without complaining about it being spicy.

- 20 jalepenos
- 5 pasilla
- 6 small white onions
- 2 qts pork broth
- 10 cloves garlic
- 1.5 lbs pork loin diced
- 1lb applewood smoked bacon
- 3 pinch mexican oregano
- 1 pinch epazote
- 8 tomatillos
- 4 very large yellow potatoes

Jalepenos, pasilla, and tomatillos were all roasted in the oven ~20 minutes. Potatoes were diced into 1/4" cubes, soaked overnight in salt water. Bacon was roasted in the over at 375F for 20 minutes.
