Season pork pieces on all sides with salt and pepper. Heat a large stock pot over high heat. Add oil. Once hot, sear the pork pieces until browned on all sides. Remove the pork from the pot. Add a little additional oil to pan, if needed. Add onion and saute until tender. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Stir in the cumin and oregano. Return pork to the pot and add the chicken broth. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 2-4 hours. Meanwhile, make the sauce. Place rack on second to top level of oven and turn the oven to high broil. Lightly spray a jelly roll pan with cooking oil. Wash the poblano peppers, jalapeños and tomatillos. Slice the tomatillo and both types of peppers in half, and remove stems. Seed the peppers and remove the white veins inside if if you do not want the chile verde to be very spicy. (See my note below about spice level). Do not seed the tomatillos. Place the poblano peppers, jalapeño and tomatillos on baking sheets cut side down. Broil for about 7-10 minutes or until browned. Immediately place peppers in a plastic bag and tie the bag. Allow them to steam for 5 minutes, and then peel off their outer layer of skin. (It should come off easily) Add the peppers, tomatillos and cilantro to a blender and puree. Add mixture to the pot with the pork and cook everything together for an additional 30 to 45 minutes. Serve with tortillas, and a side of Mexican rice and beans.

Simmer roast in a large pan until meat is tender and removes from the bone easily. (You can also use diced pork, or pork cube steaks (cut to bite size pieces), browned in the pot with the onion and garlic before adding the rest of the ingredients). Cool meat enough to handle. Cube cooked pork into bite size pieces. Process 1/2 of the green chilies and tomatillos until smooth. In the same large pan, melt the lard or bacon grease (or heat oil). Add onions and garlic; sauté until tender but not brown. Stir flour into the onion, garlic and fat until flour absorbs the oil or fat. Add broth or water. Cook and stir until mixture comes to boil and is slightly thickened. Add cubed meat, drained tomatoes (if desired), chopped tomatillos, chopped green chilies, processed tomatillos and chilies, and jalapeños (if desired; I recommend tasting first). Add the spices a little at a time until you get the taste you like, bringing to a simmer before each addition. Simmer for at least 1 hour (longer if you can afford the time), stirring occasionally to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan. If you want more of a stew type chili, add cubed potatoes 20 minutes before serving; serve with warm tortillas. Serve over burritos and garnish with cheese, lettuce, tomatoes and sour cream. Leave pork out for a vegetarian green chili sauce.
