Ingredients

1 (3 1/2) pound boneless pork shoulder roast, cut into 5 or 6 pieces
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
¾ cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon ground cumin

Steps:

Season pork with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Brown pork pieces in the hot oil, about 5 minutes. Place pork into the bottom of a slow cooker.
Heat 1 tablespoon oil in the same pan over medium-high heat. Saute onion, chopped Anaheim chile, and garlic for 5 minutes, adding more oil if needed. Add mixture to the slow cooker; pour in chicken broth.

Broil in the preheated oven for 5 minutes per side. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly, about 5 minutes.
Remove pulp and seeds from chiles and cut into pieces. Place into the bowl of a food processor with enchilada sauce, cilantro, cumin, and chili powder. Puree until smooth. Refrigerate until ready to use.
Remove pork from the slow cooker and shred using 2 forks; return to the slow cooker. Add pureed chile pepper mixture and stir well. Cook on Low, 3 to 4 hours more.
