Pork Verde
This is a great two way to pre- plan your meals for the week. You cook your pork one day, place in the fridge until you are ready to remove the meat from bone or in using a boneless pork shoulder just shred the meat in both cases you will have the meat to work with at your convenience!
F.Y.I.
Pork loves garlic, salt, limes, and avocados!
Ingredients:
1` pork shoulder or butt roast( bone in gives more flavor but boneless is fine)
5 large cloves of garlic smashed
1 large onion sliced
1 tablespoon salt
1 16 ounce jar (or approx. equivalent) salsa verde
garlic salt and additional salt for seasoning to your liking
Optional;
cooked rice
flour tortillas(if using as a burrito filling)
chopped tomatoes
sour cream, avocado slices
Directions:
Place roast into slow cooker and sprinkle with salt. Place garlic and onion on top of roast, cover and cook about 10 hours or until meat is tender enough to shred later.
Cool meat until ready to break down. When ready just remove meat and break apart into bite size pieces keeping the garlic and onion along with the meat. add salt and garlic powder(or just garlic salt) to meat according to your preference. Add chili Verde to meat and mix well. At this point you can reheat in slow cooker for a couple of hours or on the stove or even microwave it. Serve over rice with a side of beans or use as a filling for burritos!
