My slow cooker and I have developed a really nice relationship. I fill it up, it gives me tasty food a few hours later. If only all relationships were so easy.
This pork verde recipe is so simple, but so good. By the time the pork comes out of the slow cooker it is so tender if falls apart. It melts in your mouth, as the taste of cumin, chile and tomatillo salsa linger on your tongue. The pork verde is wonderful over rice, the thick sauce coating each grain. It can be stuffed into a corn tortilla, making a delicious taco. It can be rolled in a flour tortilla, making a fantastic burrito. The next time I make it, and there will be a next time, I think I’ll serve it over cheese grits.
