Chile Verde Pork

From the kitchen of Rachelle Kunkel

Chile Verde Pork
(Slow cooker) 4-6 servings

1/2 Pork loin (or any meat you like) take off as much fat as you can
1 onion diced
4-6 cloves of garlic roughly chopped
1 can whole green chiles diced
1 cup of your favorite green salsa (I like Arriba Fire Roasted Mexican Green Salsa)
1/2 -1 cup chicken stock
1/2 cup sour cream or heavy cream or half and half
1/2 cup cilantro roughly chopped

I usually sear the meat first on the stove top, but you don't have to. Then put all the ingredients down to the chicken stock into the crock pot for 6 hours on low or 4 hours on high. Then shred the meat and add the sour cream and cilantro (tip: if you add the cream early on it will curdle). We eat this burrito style, in a tortilla with Spanish rice and cheese. Would also be good over rice. I think I've added cumin and garlic salt to this recipe before too. Feel free to add or substitute your favorite ingredients to taylor it to your likings!
