Crock pot recipe for Chili Verde-Pork in green chili sauce.


Here's the way I made mine. Do you like spicy? You can add more chilis. Do not be afraid when you taste it the first time.
If you leave it overnight in the fridge, the spicy goes away and the dish flavors become more intense.
Cook time?
4-5 hours in a crock pot according to meat thickness.

Ingredients
4 Anaheim chilis/4-6 inches long.
4 yellow (guero) chiles
4 tomatillos
1 can of green salsa- 8 ounce.
1 small onion chopped
3 bullion cubes, chicken or beef.
1/3-1/2 head of garlic, peeled
3-4 lbs of pork espadilla(pork shoulder)- I buy this by the piece from the butcher.
Water, salt and pepper.

*hints/tips?

If you like a 'stewier' version? rough chop the chiles. Reduce water at the beginning of the recipe.

For a soupier style? Process the chilis and onions before you toss them into the crock pot. Add more water.

Take the Anaheims and char them over an open flame.
Make sure you get the whole chile charred, it makes peeling them easier.
Place them in a bowl and put the bowl into a plastic bag, set aside.

Brown the pork in a pot until it gets a nice crust-you don't have to do this, but I love the way it turns out.

Remove the meat and add about 2 cups of water and the bullion cube to the pot to deglaze.

Chop the onion, chop and seed the guero chilies, as you know, remove the seed and veins to reduce the heat..

Peel and quarter tomatillos. Peel, stem and deseed the Anaheims.

(remember, you can either put them in as-is or process them!)

Place meat and chile/onions/tomatillos/garlic mix into a crock pot add the water/bullion mix into the crock pot and finish adding water to cover the contents.

I start the crock pot at high for about 2 hours then reduce it for the final 2-3 hours?

I keep the can of green chili to add for the flavor.
I sounds like too much chili in the recipe, but this made it bolder, You taste as you go along and decide if you want to add it.

Salt and pepper as you go along, When you can pull the meat apart, like pulled pork? it's done.
