Ingredients

2 pounds boneless pork sirloin roast or shoulder roast
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
½ cup chopped onion (1 medium)
4 cups peeled and cubed potatoes (4 medium)
3 cups water
1 (15 ounce) can hominy or whole-kernel corn, drained
2 (4 ounce) cans diced green chile peppers, undrained
2 tablespoons quick-cooking tapioca
1 teaspoon garlic salt
½ teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon ancho chile powder
½ teaspoon ground pepper
¼ teaspoon dried oregano, crushed
1 tablespoon Chopped fresh cilantro

Directions

Trim fat from meat. Cut the meat into 1/2-inch pieces. Cook half of the meat in a large skillet in hot oil over medium-high heat until browned. Using a slotted spoon, remove the meat from the skillet. Repeat with the remaining meat and the onion. Drain off fat. Transfer all of the meat and the onion to a 3 1/2- to 4 1/2-quart slow cooker.
Stir in potatoes, the water, hominy, green chile peppers, tapioca, garlic salt, cumin, ancho chile powder, ground pepper, and oregano. Cover and cook on Low for 7 to 8 hours or on High for 4 to 5 hours. If desired, garnish each serving with cilantro.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
