Ingredients

  • 1 pound Hatch chile peppers, halved and seeded

  • 1 (3 pound) boneless pork roast, cubed

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 3 tablespoons salt, divided

  • 3 tablespoons coarsely ground black pepper, divided

  • ¼ cup vegetable oil

  • 2 cups chicken stock

  • 1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chile peppers

  • 1 large sweet onion, chopped

  • 2 tablespoons ground cumin

  • 3 cloves garlic

Directions

  1. Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.

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

  3. Cook under the preheated broiler until the skin of peppers has blackened and blistered, 5 to 8 minutes. Place blackened peppers into a large bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Allow peppers to steam as they cool, about 20 minutes. Remove and discard skins; chop peppers into small pieces and set aside.

  4. Place pork in a large resealable plastic bag; add flour, 2 tablespoons salt, and 2 tablespoons black pepper. Seal the bag well and toss to coat.

  5. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir pork in hot oil until browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a slow cooker.

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

  7. Cook on Low for 6 hours or High for 4 hours, until pork is tender and the flavors blend.
