Spicy Green Chile Pork

702343

This is what we had for dinner.  Slow cooked for 8 hours, this is a very tasty dish.

We used homemade tortillas and had Spanish rice on the side.  My father-in-law, who can tend to be a bit picky when it come to “Mexican” foods, had 3 helpings and said I need to give him the recipe.

So here it is:

Ingredients ~ Serves around 8
  • 1 white onion, chopped
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 1/2 pounds pork shoulder roast
  • 1 (16 ounce) jar green salsa (such as Frontera®)
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 2 serrano chile peppers, or to taste
Directions
  1. Layer the chopped onion into the bottom of a slow cooker. Season the pork shoulder with salt and pepper; place atop the chopped onion. Pour the green salsa over the pork. Sprinkle the the cilantro over the salsa and pork. Drop the serrano chile peppers into the slow cooker.
  2. Cook on Low until the meat falls apart easily, about 8 hours. Gently remove the pork to a cutting board. Strain and discard about half the remaining liquid from the slow cooker, reserving the rest. Discard the onions, peppers, and cilantro if desired. (we kept it and used it as topping in the tortilla).
  3. Shred the pork shoulder with a pair of forks. Mix the pork with the reserved liquid from the slow cooker to serve.
