I can not believe it’s Monday yet again.  Seriously? Where did the weekend go?  I know I cooked and baked my way through the weekend because I had so many blog ideas that I couldn’t help myself but dayum…is time for vacation yet?  Of course I’m being a little dramatic because look at the meal prep I did to make sure I don’t even have to think about food this week.  Not pictured: several snacks and breakfast, which includes these gorgeous Gingerbread Overnight Oats with Protein Frosting 😛

I also made this yummy Slow Cooker Posole Verde because let’s be real…we’re in the heart of soup season and I always want to try my hand at something new.  This one will get it’s own post later.  Just as soon as I can get around to it!

Slow Cooker Posole Verde
Yield: 8 servings • Calories per serving: 351 • Fat: 8 g • Protein: 44 g • Carbs: 23 g • Fiber: 3 g • Sugar: 9 g • Sodium: 298 mg • Cholesterol: 116 mg

Ingredients:

  • 3 pound bone in pork shoulder
  • 1 orange
  • 1 lime
  • 1 cup chicken bone broth
  • 1 yellow onion, chopped
  • 5 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp pepper
  • 1 tbsp Mexican oregano
  • 1/2 tbsp cumin
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 quart unsalted chicken cooking stock
  • 2 lbs tomatillos, rinsed and halved
  • 1 lb poblano peppers (or combo of Anaheim chiles and poblanos), halved lengthwise with stems and seeds removed
  • 25 oz can hominy, drained and rinsed (I used Juanita’s)
  • Optional toppings: quartered limes, cilantro, thinly sliced radishes, crumbled cotija cheese, shredded cabbage

Directions:

  1. Rinse the pork shoulder under running water and pat dry with a paper towel.  Mix salt, pepper, cumin, chile powder and oregano, then pat spices onto all sides of pork shoulder.
  2. Add onion, garlic and chicken broth to bottom of a slow cooker, then add pork shoulder on top with fat side up.  Squeeze orange and lime into slow cooker, then cook on low for 5-6 hours or until the meat has reached at least 145 degrees and can easily be removed from the bone and shredded.
  3. Pre-heat oven to a broil and line baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  4. Arrange halved tomatillos on baking sheet, cut side down.  Add poblano peppers/Anaheim chile peppers cut side down on the same pan.  Spray lightly with olive oil.  Broil for 8-10 minutes until skin begins to blister.
  5. Remove skin from peppers and pulse in a food processor with roasted tomatillos until mostly smooth.
  6. Shred the pork and discard the bone and any connective tissue or fat that remains.  Return shredded pork to slow cooker.  Add chicken stock, tomatillo mixture and hominy and turn heat on slow cooker to high for 30 minutes.
  7. Serve with toppings.
