Introduction

Really Good green chili stew...Pork loin has to cook in crock all day, so plan ahead! Had to guess on some of the measurements to build the recipe as I'm one of those cooks that 'eyeballs' measurements! Be liberal as your taste desires! Made for a great sunday dinner!

Ingredients

    4 poblano peppers
    2 jalapeno peppers
    6 cloves of garlic
    12 tomatillos
    2 large onions
    1 pork tenderloin (approx 3 lbs)
    2 cartons (32 oz each) chicken stock/broth (I used one of each)
    honey to taste (approx 2-3 tbsp)
    fresh cilantro (big handful)
    smoky cumin (to taste, I was pretty liberal with this; maybe 6 tbsp)
    Extra Virgin Olive oil - approx 1 tbsp
    salt and pepper to taste
    shredded cheddar for topping
    crushed tortilla chips (optional) for topping

Directions

Set Pork Loin in Crock pot w/ 1/2 cup water, and salt and pepper, and minced garlic. Cook on high 5 hours or low 9-11. Shred and set aside.

Roast poblano and jalapeno peppers under broiler for approx 15 mins till skins are charred. Remove and cover w/ saran wrap or tea towel and let cool. Once cooled, peel skin off and remove seeds. Set aside

In large pot, cook 6 cloves garlic (chopped) w/ 2 large red onions (chopped), and 12 tomatillos (chopped) in EVOO. Add dash of sea salt while cooking. Cook until onions translucent and tender (about 25 mins).

In food processor, mix vegtable mixture w/ peeled/seeded peppers, big handful of cilantro, honey, and cumin. process til smooth then return to pot.

Add chicken stock/broth, and all of the pork loin (shredded). Continue to cook to allow flavors to mix. Season w/ black pepper or more cumin to taste. Shouldn't need additional salt due to pork and chicken broth.

If needed, add cornstarch to thicken up to liking. Make sure you mix cornstarch w/ a little bit of cold water before adding to pot (if you add the cornstarch right into the hot stew/chili, it will clump up and not be effective).

Serve in bowls w/ crushed tortilla chips and shredded cheese.
