Pork & Pumpkin Chili with Greens

Love chili but bored of the same old, same old? Feeling adventuresome? Pair this chili up with cornbread and enjoy the discovery that healthy eating doesn’t need to be bland.

Tip: If you can’t find mustard greens, any sturdy, dark green will work. Try collards or chard or spinach instead.

Ingredients

  • 3 lbs. boneless pork (boneless ribs, stew meat, or sirloin roast), trimmed and cut into ½-inch cubes
  • 1 (12 oz.) bottle Mexican lager
  • 2 tsp. Kosher salt
  • 2 to 3 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, finely chopped
  • 3 tsp. oregano, divided
