Green Chili Crock Pot Pork

Instructions

1. Begin by preparing your ingredients. Trim any excess fat from the pork shoulder and cut it into 2-inch chunks. Dice the onion, mince the garlic, and gather the cans of diced green chilis.

2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, and sauté until fragrant and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

3. Add the pork shoulder chunks to the skillet and sear on all sides until browned, about 5-7 minutes. This will help lock in the flavor and juices of the pork.

4. Transfer the browned pork, onions, and garlic to your crock pot. Add the diced green chilis, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the crock pot.

5. Pour the chicken or vegetable broth over the ingredients in the crock pot, ensuring that the pork is mostly covered by the liquid.

6. Cover the crock pot with its lid and set it to cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours. The pork should be tender and easily shred with a fork when done.

7. Once the pork is cooked through and tender, use two forks to shred it directly in the crock pot and stir well to incorporate all the flavors.

8. Taste the pork and adjust the seasoning if needed. You can add more salt, pepper, or spices to suit your preference.

9. Serve the Green Chili Crock Pot Pork hot, garnished with fresh cilantro for a burst of freshness and color. This dish pairs perfectly with rice, tortillas, or a side of roasted vegetables.
