salt to taste
1 tablespoon ground black pepper
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided, or more as needed
1 large sweet onion, chopped
1 large Anaheim chile pepper, chopped

2 (15 ounce) cans chicken broth
12 large whole Anaheim chile peppers
1 (15 ounce) can green enchilada sauce

Time 9h30m

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

3 lbs. pork shoulder, (trimed and cubed)
2 Tbsp. cooking oil ((approximate amount))
2 Tbsp. all purpose flour
2 poblano peppers
2 Anaheim peppers
2 jalapenos
4 garlic cloves
6 tomatillos, (husks removed)
1 large white onion, (peeled and quartered)
1 bunch cilantro, (bulk of stems removed)
3/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1/2 tsp. cumin
1/2 tsp. oregano
1 cup chicken broth

Steps:

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Place the peppers, tomatillos, garlic, and onion onto a baking sheet. Place the baking sheet in the oven 2 racks down from the broiler. Let the veggies roast for 20-25 minutes or until the veggies are charred, keep an eye on them so they don't overcook. Let cool down a bit before moving on to step 2.
Place the veggies into a blender and place the cilantro on top. Place on lid on blender. Pulse until a fine salsa forms, you can make this any texture you desire. If your salsa is too thick to blend up properly, add a splash of the chicken broth from the recipe.
On a baking sheet or in a ziplock bag coat the pork with the flour. Set a large skillet to medium high heat. Add the enough oil to coat the bottom of the pan. When the pan and oil are hot, brown the flour coated pork on all sides, no need to cook through. You may need to cook the pork in batches if your pan isn't large enough to do all at the same time.
Add the meat to the slow cooker. Pour over the salsa, add the salt, pepper, cumin and oregano. Pour over the chicken broth and stir.
Cover and cook on LOW for 9 hours without opening the lid during the cooking time.
Serve over tortillas with desired toppings, enjoy!

Provided by Sandra

Categories Main Course

Time 6h30m

Number Of Ingredients 16

Ingredients

2-3 tablespoons olive oil
2 pounds pork tenderloin
1 medium yellow onion (chopped)
1 large poblano (seeded and chopped)
1 jalapeno (seeded and diced)
4 cloves garlic (minced)
4 cups chicken broth
54 ounces canned green chiles (two 27 oz cans)
10 ounces red enchilada sauce
2 tablespoons flour
1 tablespoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon cumin
1 teaspoon oregano
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Season pork tenderloin with salt and pepper. Sear in the skillet until all sides are browned, it won't be cooked through at this point. Once seared, place the pork on the bottom of the slow cooker.
Mix together flour and dry seasonings. Add to the slow cooker on top of the pork.
In the same skillet that you seared the pork in (do not clean it out), add the onion, peppers, and garlic. Saute until charred and tender, stirring occasionally.
Add the charred onions and peppers to a blender along with both cans of green chiles and their liquid. Puree for 10-15 seconds or until mostly smooth, a few small chunks are fine.
Pour chile mixture, enchilada sauce, chicken broth, and cilantro over the pork in the slow cooker. Stir together.
Cook on low all day for the best flavor, or at least 6-8 hours. Before serving, remove pork and shred then return to the pot and stir.
Serve with tortillas, shredded cheese, sour cream, and cilantro for garnish if desired. Enjoy!

Tips:

Sear the pork: Searing the pork before adding it to the slow cooker helps to develop its flavor and creates a richer, more complex sauce.
Use fresh tomatillos: Fresh tomatillos have a brighter, more acidic flavor than canned tomatillos. If you can't find fresh tomatillos, you can use canned tomatillos, but be sure to drain them well before adding them to the slow cooker.
Roast the tomatillos and peppers: Roasting the tomatillos and peppers before adding them to the slow cooker helps to concentrate their flavor and make them more tender.
Use a variety of chiles: This recipe uses a combination of poblano and jalapeño chiles, but you can use any type of chile that you like. Just be sure to adjust the amount of chiles you use depending on how spicy you want the chile verde to be.
Simmer the chile verde for at least 4 hours: The longer you simmer the chile verde, the more flavorful it will be. Simmer it for at least 4 hours, or up to 8 hours, on low heat.

Conclusion:

This slow cooker chile verde is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is packed with flavor and can be served with a variety of side dishes, such as rice, beans, or tortillas. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give this slow cooker chile verde a try.
