Time 7h45m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 13

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 cloves garlic, chopped, or more to taste
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
1 tablespoon chili powder

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.
  • Cover and cook on High until pork is tender and easily shredded with a fork, about 4 hours.
  • Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Brush the whole chile peppers with oil and place on a baking sheet.
  • 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.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my pork chile verde turned out bland. I think I'll add more spices next time.

I'm not a fan of spicy food, but this recipe was surprisingly mild. Even my kids loved it!

The pork was a bit dry for my taste, but the green salsa was delicious.

I've made this recipe several times, and it always turns out great. I love that it's a slow cooker meal, so I can just throw everything in the pot in the morning and dinner is ready when I get home.

This pork chile verde is a family favorite! The meat is always so tender and flavorful, and the green salsa is the perfect balance of spicy and tangy. I like to serve it with rice and beans, and a side of avocado and sour cream.
