Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tbsp. olive oil
  • 1.5 pounds lean pork, cubed
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 teaspoons garlic, minced - minced
  • 1 tbsp. ground cumin
  • 1 tbsp. chile powder*
  • 2 cups good broth or stock - chicken or beef
  • 1 cup lager style beer - see Ingredients in Post
  • juice of 1 lime
  • 1 pint Cherub tomatoes - or similar small tomatoes
  • 2 cups chopped Hatch green chile
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt and fresh ground pepper

Instructions

  • In a large skillet, add oil over high heat. Add cubed pork. Brown on all sides. Adjust heat if pan is too hot.
  • When pork is browned on all sides, add to slow cooker or Instant Pot
  • Sauté chopped onion, minced garlic, and cumin. Cook until fragrant (about 2 minutes). Add to slow cooker or Instant Pot).
  • Add the remaining ingredients to slow cooker or Instant Pot. Stir to combine.
  • Slow cooker - 6-8 hours depending on heat level of your specific appliance. I usually set my on low, and it is done in 6-7 hours.
  • Instant Pot - Set to 45 minutes and de-pressurize for 10 minutes before opening (making the process about an hour).
  • Taste for seasoning, and adjust as needed.
  • Serve over rice, polenta, or wrapped in a tortilla.

Notes

Slow-cookers vary in temperature. I set mine to "low" and cooked it for 6-7 hours, but it runs pretty hot. I'd say you could cook it 8 on low, and get good results.
In the Instant Pot, I use manual and set to high pressure for 45 minutes, then de-pressurize for 10 minutes before opening.
