Description

A friend recently posted her chile verde recipe on an email list I'm on, and while it sounded delicious, I didn't have all the ingredients on hand. I did, however, have these ingredients, which were close enough for me!

Ingredients

  • 1 boneless pork roast, half-frozen
  • 1 pt salsa verde
  • corn tortillas or tortilla chips
  • grated cheese (optional)
  • chopped onions (optional)
  • chopped cilantro (optional)
  • chopped tomatoes (optional)
  • sour cream (optional)

Instructions

Chop up the half-frozen pork roast into chunks no bigger than an inch all round. Freezing it part-way makes it easier to slice, is the only reason for the roast to be half-frozen. Place in your crockpot on high, dump the pint of salsa verde over the top, put the lid on and forget about it for at least five hours. You can shred the pork and serve as the meat in tostadas, burritos or tacos if you want, or do what we did: serve in a bowl with the optional accompaniments and tortilla chips. The tortilla chip crumbs were especially good with the liquid from the crockpot.
