Slow Cooker Guisado Verde

Thanks to Catherine for sharing this recipe! Here's the way we made it this week.

Ingredients

 

·         1.75 pounds boneless pork loin

·         1 large onion, coarsely chopped

·         4 cloves garlic, crushed then chopped

·         2 containers Herdez salsa verde

·         1 long green pepper from someone's garden (?) diced and seeds removed

·         1 jalapeno pepper, diced and seeds removed

·         1/2 cup fresh chopped cilantro

·         1 teaspoon dried oregano

·         salt and pepper to taste

·         ~1 quart water (to cover the pork)

      Served with:

      1/4 cup sour cream

·         More fresh cilantro, added to each bowl

Directions

1. Pour one container of salsa verde in the slow cooker, and put the pork loin on top.
2. Add the remaining ingredients to the slow cooker. Add water enough to cover all ingredients. 
3. Cover, and cook on High for 6 to 8 hours.
4. Remove the cooked pork to a plate, then shred with a fork. 

Notes

We served this in bowls, with a 1/2 cup of brown rice, steamed zucchini, and the shredded pork, topped with the sauce from the slow cooker, sour cream, and some more cilantro. The liquid came out rather watery, so I may try to use less water or more onions next time, to thicken it up.
