This chili is a twist on traditional chili recipes, featuring tender, slow-cooked chunks of pork shoulder and sweet and nutty pumpkin puree, which works perfectly with the spicy and smoky flavors of the chipotle chiles and chili powder. The addition of mustard greens gives it a subtle peppery taste and is also a great source of calcium and vitamins A and C. This chili is a complete meal in a bowl and a fantastic way to warm up on a chilly night.
