Slow Cooker Pork Green Chili

Slow Cooker Pork Green Chili
(Honorable mention to Olga Attebery for a tip with the sauce)

1 4lb Pork Picnic Roast
1 lg (16 oz) can of Tomatillos
1 small can (4 oz) Salsa Verde (Herdez)
1 tsp Mexican Oregano
1 tsp Cumin
1/2 tsp Chipotle Powder
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder (or 2 cloves fresh crushed garlic)
1 tsp sugar
salt and pepper to taste

Toss all ingredients into slow cooker. Cook for 8-10 hours on low or 5-7 hours on high (until pork easily shreds when pulled with fork).

When pork is completely cooked, remove meat and allow to rest on cutting board. Carefully pour "juice" and tomatillos into food processor or blender. Blend for 10-15 seconds until tomatillos are pureed. Taste and make adjustments as needed with salt, pepper and sugar (1/2 tsp. at a time is the safest way to not over do it). For more spice, add some red pepper flakes.

Shred pork and pour green sauce over pork. Let rest in sauce for 5-10 min.

Serve with fresh tortillas and guacamole. My favorite guac is "Wholly Guacamole". We buy the spicy, but beware - it is actually spicy!

Happy Eating!
