Time 7h25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 onion, sliced
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1/2 cup fresh cilantro (leaves and tender stems), roughly chopped, plus more for topping
6 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
4 bone-in pork chops (3/4 inch thick; about 2 1/4 pounds)
2 teaspoons ground cumin
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 oranges, halved
1 cup white rice
1/2 cup frozen peas
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar

Steps:

  • Toss the onion, bell pepper, cilantro and garlic with 1 tablespoon olive oil in a 6- to 8-quart slow cooker. Rub the pork chops with the cumin, 3/4 teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper; add to the slow cooker. Drizzle with the remaining 1 teaspoon olive oil, squeeze in the juice of 1 orange and add the squeezed orange halves. Cover and cook on low until the pork is very tender, 7 to 8 hours.
  • Cook the rice as the label directs, sprinkling the peas on top of the rice during the last 3 minutes of cooking. Remove the pork chops to a bowl; discard the bones and orange halves and shred the meat with 2 forks. Stir the vinegar and the juice of 1/2 orange into the slow cooker. Season with salt and pepper; add the juice from the remaining 1/2 orange to taste.
  • Return the pork to the slow cooker. Fluff the rice with a fork, stirring in the peas. Serve the pork with the rice; top with cilantro.

I love this recipe! The pork is so tender and juicy, and the sauce is flavorful and tangy. I usually serve it with rice and black beans, but it's also great on tacos or sandwiches.

I've made this recipe several times now, and it always turns out great. It's so easy to throw everything in the slow cooker and let it cook all day. The pork is always fall-apart tender and the sauce is amazing.
