Chile Verde Pork (Green Chile Pork)

Cassie Burton

Report

Slow-cooker chili verde pork. For best results, use a butt or shoulder. Pork loin is too lean.

Instructions

Cut pork into large chunks, about 2 inches.
Mix chile powder, cumin, oregano, salt and pepper together. Rub all over pork pieces. (This can be done the night before for more flavor!)
Place pork in slow cooker with bay leaf, green chiles, onion and water. Cover slow cooker and cook on low for 8 hours.
Remove pork to a cutting board or bowl, reserve 1 cup green sauce. Discard bay leaf. When pork is cool enough to handle, shred with two forks.
Add green sauce as needed for flavor and moister pork. Season with salt and pepper if needed.
Serve with warm tortillas, sliced green onions, fresh salsa, cilantro and hot sauce or on a salad.

Notes

If you can't find Hatch green chiles, substitute canned chiles.
