How to Make Crock Pot Guisado Verde
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Brown 2 lbs boneless pork shoulder, cut into 1-inch cubes, on all sides. Set aside.
- Transfer the browned pork to a 6-quart slow cooker. Reserve the pork juices in the skillet.
- Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and 2 cloves garlic, minced, to the skillet with the reserved pork juices. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Pour the onion and garlic mixture, along with any remaining juices, into the slow cooker.
- Add 1 lb tomatillos, husked and roughly chopped; 1-2 serrano peppers (or 1-3 jalapenos), seeded and minced (adjust for desired heat); 4 oz canned green chiles, diced; and 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro to the slow cooker.
- Season with 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
- Pour in 1 quart of water or enough to just cover all ingredients.
- Cover and cook on high for 6-7 hours or on low for 10-12 hours, until the pork is very tender.
- Remove the pork from the slow cooker and shred with two forks.
- Return the shredded pork to the slow cooker and stir to combine with the salsa verde.
- Spoon the Guisado Verde into bowls and top with your favorite toppings such as crumbled cotija cheese, sour cream, and crispy tortilla strips. Serve with warm tortillas.
