I've made Chili Verde a few times with varying results. It was generally edible but not really great.
I found this recipe on line and since it sounded fairly easy to make I tried it last night. It was by far my best attempt to date. I'm sure there are better recipe's out there but this one's pretty good for a novice.
Only things I changed was using canned tomatillo's (hard to find fresh in a No ID logging town) and I simmered it for a couple of hours instead of the 30min recommended.

I served it over rice with a dollop of Sour Cream. Delicious.

This is what I use. I copied it from an article but can't remember where.

2 cups olive oil
4 pounds pork butt, trimmed and cut into 1 1/2-inch chunks
2 heads garlic, chopped
Salt and fresh-ground black pepper
1/2 large yellow onion, diced
1 bunch cilantro
3 limes, sliced
Salsa
3 pounds tomatillos, peeled and quartered
2 fresh jalape�os, sliced (add more if you like heat)
2 garlic cloves, diced
1/2 large yellow onion, quartered
Directions
1. In a large stock pot, heat the oil at medium-high and add the pork and garlic. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil and then lower to a simmer. Slow-fry the pork for approximately 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
2. While the pork is cooking, in a large container add two cups of water to the salsa ingredients. Blend with a hand mixer until chunky and well combined.
3. When the pork is browned and well cooked on all sides, remove 3/4 of the oil. Add the onion and cook for 10 minutes.
4. Add the salsa to the pork and simmer for approximately 90 minutes, seasoning to taste with salt and pepper, until the pork is well braised and tender enough to pull apart with your fingers. Divide among eight bowls. Garnish with cilantro and a squeeze of lime. Serve with corn tortillas.

Are canned tomatillos an OK substitute for fresh ?

WM has them in 1lb. cans.

Probably wouldn't matter much, I've used the jarred version and it works fine.
