Chef Rick Lopez of [La Condesa](https://lacondesa.com/) in Austin, TX shared this recipe for Green Chile Pork Filling as part of our [Guide to Tamales](https://madeincookware.com/recipes/chicken-tamales). Our [Dutch Oven](https://madeincookware.com/products/dutch-oven/harbour-blue) is perfect for low-and-slow braises, turning this tough pork shoulder into a tender and tasty tamale filling. The Cloud Cover Lid features pea-sized dimples to trap steam and return moisture to your food.

Don’t forget to top your Pork Tamales with [Salsa Roja](/recipes/rick-lopez-salsa-roja) or [Salsa Verde](/recipes/rick-lopez-salsa-verde); they will both compliment the flavorful pork. If you have any leftovers, this filling is also excellent over rice or in tacos.
