Crock Pot Chile Verde

Rich and I are from California.. which means most of our favorite food is Mexican.  The South does not know how to make Mexican food, so we have to do it ourselves.  One of Rich's fave dishes is Chile Verde.  Its slow cooked pork in a green sauce.  There was something like this on a menu at a restaurant here.. and it was basically pork chunks with green sauce on top.. not really the right thing.  So I went searching for a recipe that I could do in my crockpot. After many different types of recipes I devised my own.  Rich loved it!  Here is what we came up with..

Crock Pot Chile Verde
Ingredients
3-4lbs Pork Butt roast
1 26oz Can Tamatillos drained
2 Jalapenos
hand full Cilantro
1 onion diced
2 tsp minced garlic
1tsp cumin
salt and pepper to taste

Directions
1. In a blender or food processor blend tamatillos, jalapenios and cilantro until it is thin and not chunky
2. Cut pork into 2 inch chunks trimming fat as you go
3. add pork, sauce and rest of ingredients to the crock pot and stir
4. Cook on low for 6-8 hours.  It will be done in 6, and the pork will hold its shape, if you want to have more shredded pork consistency go for longer like 8. I stopped at 6 hours, opened the lid and cooked down the sauce a bit for about 30 min at the end.

Ideas for serving it... make a breakfast burrito with it, make huevos ranchers with it, serve it over rice, rich likes to put it over fries
Enjoy!
