Ingredients

1 lb Hatch chile peppers, halved and seeded
1 (3 lb) boneless pork roast, cubed
2 cups all-purpose flour
3 tbsp salt, divided
3 tbsp coarsely ground black pepper, divided
0.25 cup vegetable oil
2 cups chicken stock
1 (15 oz) can diced tomatoes with green chile peppers
1 large sweet onion, chopped
2 tbsp ground cumin
3 cloves garlic

Directions

1

Preheat the oven's broiler and set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source.

2

Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.

3

Place chile peppers, cut-sides down, onto the prepared baking sheet.

4

Broil in the preheated oven until the skin of peppers is blackened and blistered, about 5 to 8 minutes.

5

Transfer the blackened peppers to a large bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Let peppers steam while cooling for around 20 minutes; then remove and discard skins.

6

Chop peppers into small pieces and set aside.

7

In a large resealable plastic bag, combine pork, flour, 2 tbsp salt, and 2 tbsp black pepper. Seal well and toss to coat.

8

Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat, cook pork until browned, about 5 to 7 minutes, then move to a slow cooker.

9

Add chopped peppers, chicken stock, diced tomatoes with green chile peppers, onion, cumin, remaining 1 tbsp salt, remaining 1 tbsp black pepper, and garlic to the slow cooker. Mix well.

10

Cook on Low for 6 hours or High for 4 hours until pork is tender and flavors meld together.
