2 Ibs pork roast, pork loin, or Boston butt
6 jalapeno peppers (small)
6 serrano peppers
3 anaheim peppers (optional)
8 tomatillos
1 lg sweet onion
1/2 c fresh cilantro
1 T minced garlic
1 4oz can green chilis
1 10oz can diced tomatoes
1 14oz can tomato sauce
2 cups chicken broth
1 t oregano
1 t cumin
1 t chili powder
2 T corn starch
1/4 c flour; for browning the pork.
1 t salt; for browning the pork.
1 t pepper; for browning the pork.

Steps:

  • Cut the pork into small chunks. Husk the tomatillos, de-stem them, and cut them into large chunks. Cut the jalapenos, Anaheim peppers, and Serrano peppers into large chunks. Put tomatillos, peppers, and cilantro in a food processor and puree them. Add the can of green chilis, diced tomatos, and tomato sauce to the food processor. Continue blending until the mixture is a consistant color. Pour the vegetable puree into a crock-pot. Add the chicken broth, oregano, cumin, and chili powder. Turn the crock pot on high and cover. Dust the pork with flour, salt and pepper. Heat 2 T olive oil, shortening, or lard in a frying pan. Add the garlic and onions, saute until the onions are tender. Add the pork, brown it thoroughly. Pour the entire pan's contents (including drippings) into the crock pot. Cook in the crock pot on high for 2 hours. After 2 hours, reduce the heat to medium or low and cook for at least another 2 hours. For very tender pork, cook on low heat for 8 or more hours. 30 minutes before serving, mix the cornstarch with 2 ounces of cold water, and add it to the crock pot. Add more if you want to thicken it further. Serve over bean burritos.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my pork was a little dry. I think I'll add some extra liquid next time.
