Slow Cooker Recipe Contest Finalist
Taste of Mexico Simplified by Nate From Manchester Ingredients:
- 3 lbs Pork shoulder or boneless country ribs
- 1 tbls. Paprika
- 2 tsp. Chipotle Pepper powder
- 1 tbls. Garlic powder
- 1 Lemon, juiced
- 1 Onion, diced
- 1 Green Pepper, diced
- 2 Anaheim Chili’s diced
- 1 cup Sofrito (Hispanic Tomato and Pepper Cooking Sauce found in the grocery store with the Goya Products)
- 2 tbls. Red Wine Vinegar
- 1 12 oz. can of Dice Tomatoes
- 2 tbls. Brown Sugar
- Salt and Pepper
- 1/4 c. Cilantro, rough chopped
Directions for Preparation: It is best to take the pork, diced into 1 inch cubes, and marinate it with the paprika, garlic powder, chipotle powder and lemon juice for at least 1 hour, but preferably in refrigerator for 24 hour. After it has marinated for at least 1 hour add all remaining ingredients into your crock pot. Place on high for 1 hour than down to low for about 4 hours. Sometimes how well your crock pot retains moisture or how soupy you like it, it may be necessary to thick with a little corn meal. I use corn meal to thicken because it doesn’t make it too heavy, think of it like a very very loose polenta. Serve with some rice and flour tortilla and my favorite hot sauce. That’s it! ENJOY!
Special Tips & Tricks: It is best to prepare the Pork the day before as this will lead to a much richer well seasoned dish. This is not necessary but only a recommendation.
Serve with: White Rice and Flour Tortilla
