Crock Pot Chile Verde Stew Caldillo Food

SLOW COOKER PORK CHILE VERDE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Spray a sheet pan with cooking spray and place the tomatillos, quartered onion, and garlic cloves on the sheet pan. If using a jalapeño, add it with the other veggies.
• Roast the vegetables for 20 minutes flipping them at the 10 minute mark. The tomatillos should be lightly charred and the onion beginning to brown.
• Transfer the roasted vegetables and roasted Hatch chiles (or jalapeño) and any remaining juice on the sheet pan to a food processor or blender. Blend until almost smooth. Add the cilantro leaves and kosher salt and pulse a few more times until mixed. Set aside or place in the refrigerator until ready to use.
• Cut the pork roast into 1/2-inch by 1-inch pieces of pork. Season well with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
• Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon olive oil and the butter. Transfer half of the pork to the skillet and cook for about 4 minutes on each side, turning once or twice until the pork is browned on all sides. Transfer to a slow cooker and repeat with remaining pork.
• Add all of the cooked pork and any bits and juice to the slow cooker. Pour all of the salsa verde on the pork and cover with lid. Set slow cooker to high and cook for 4-5 hours or low for 8-10 hours.
• Serve warm with tortillas or use as sauce for enchiladas.

GREEN CHILE STEW WITH PORK

Steps:

• In a large skillet over medium high heat, brown the pork in oil, doing so in 2 to 3 batches.
• Place the meat in 3 to 4-quart covered casserole and add celery, tomatoes, chilies, and garlic.
• Add about 1 cup chicken broth or water to skillet pork was cooked in, stirring over high heat to scrape up browned bits on bottom and bring to boil. Add to pot with enough additional water or broth to barely cover the ingredients. Cover and simmer until stew is thick and meat very tender, about 1 1/2 hours. Add salt to taste before serving. If stew is not hot enough, add a bit of jalapeno salsa.
