text ingredients
Instructions
- Season the pork with salt and pepper. Brown on all sides on the stove top. This will take about 15 minutes.
- Transfer browned roast to a slow cooker. Pour Salsa Verde over the pork and add the jalapeno on top.
- Cook on low for 8 hours.
- Remove pork to a cake pan. I found this is the best way to shred the pork without loosing the juices all over your counter. Once the pork is shredded, add back into the juice in the slow cooker.
- Serve with a side of rice or in a bowl.
Notes
The pork chile verde can be served with
Onion, Avocado, Cilantro, sour cream, cheese, or even additional salsa
