Ingredients
- 2 lbs pork shoulder cut into bite-sized cubes or 2 lbs pre-cooked pork
- ½ cup olive oil
- 1 onion diced, large
- 6 cloves garlic minced
- 2 lbs green chiles Hatch or poblano, roasted, chopped
- 1 ro-tel with green chiles, canned
- 1 pound tomatillos or 1 can tomatillos, drained and chopped, hulled and diced
- 2 tsp cumin
- 2 tsp Mexican oregano
- 1 tsp ground coriander
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 cup flour
- 18 oz chicken broth
- 1 tsp black pepper or more, to taste, fresh cracked
- 2 tsp sea salt or more, to taste, Celtic variety
Instructions
- If using pre-cooked pork: Place the pork cubes in the slow cooker and toss them with 1- 1 1/2 cups of flour, ensuring the pork is evenly coated. Skip to step 3 (add vegetables to slow cooker.)
- If using raw pork: Place the pork cubes in the slow cooker and toss them with 1- 1 1/2 cups of flour, ensuring the pork is evenly coated. Set aside.
- If desired, heat a small amount of oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the floured pork cubes until browned on all sides, about 6-8 minutes. This step adds more depth of flavor but can be skipped to save time. Set the pork aside.
- In the slow cooker, add the 1/2 cup of olive oil, then layer in the onion, garlic, and floured pork (whether raw or pre-cooked).
- Stir in the roasted green chiles, can of Ro-Tel, and drained or diced tomatillos.
- Sprinkle the cumin, Mexican oregano, ground coriander, and smoked paprika over the ingredients in the slow cooker.
- Pour in the chicken broth, ensuring it covers the pork and vegetables. Stir gently to combine.
- Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours, until the pork is tender and the flavors have melded together.
- Once cooked, taste the mixture and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. If the consistency is too thick, add more chicken broth or water to loosen it up.
- Serve the pork green chile as a stew, or use it to smother burritos, eggs, fries, or anything you like. Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.
