AWAITING THE OREGON GAME AND LAST NIGHTS PORK VERDE.

Photo's to the left taken Thursday evening right before the OREGON DUCKS played and blew the socks off CAL. What fun.
Photo's to the right is last nights slow cooker pork verde meal. We did not make taco's from the meat rather we just ladled up the pork verde and served it along side rice cooked in chicken broth and pinto beans. We put a healthy amount of broth over all and sprinkled chopped scallions and jalenpeno's over the top. I served warm flour tortilla's along side to sop up all the juice. It was a grand meal. I will share the recipe it is my mine and so so easy.


Slow cooker easy pork verde.
I like to use boneless pork country ribs a couple pounds is good.
Trim the excessive fat and cut in big chunks. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, paprika, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, mexican oregano and allspice. Rub into meat and brown in a heavy skillet preferably cast iron with a little canola oil. Brown on all sides. 
In slow cooker put in liner if you have one(love these things) then add one half sliced yellow onion, 1/2 anihiem pepper , a shallot chopped and three to four cloves of garlic smashed. Lay the browned pork over these ingredients. The add a whole jar of salsa Verde, or two small cans. It is good to cover all the ingredients. Set your slower cooker to high and cook about three hours, then turn to low and cook until meat is falling apart about 7/8 hours all together.
Then to serve, cook long grain rice in chicken broth cook till dry about 25 minutes. Make pinto beans either from scratch or cheat and drain a couple cans of pinto beans and rinse and then add a little chicken broth, cumin, pepper and heat. Before serving mash slightly and add a little sour cream. 
Put the rice, beans, pork and sauce on a plate. Liberally add extra Verde sauce over rice and beans. Serve with warm flour tortilla's to sop up the sauce. That is it. Such a mouthful of taste. You can make it as hot as you like. We add jalenpeno's and chopped onions to the top. This is  good simple tasting Mexican fare. 


Anyhow that is the recipe do try it if inclined. Sometimes simple is the best. Why spend all day in the kitchen when with a few shortcuts you can have an amazing meal.


That is all for now I am pressed for time.
There is always tomorrow, or at least we hope.
Bye for now.
