Quick prep work leads to succulent, delicious, and exceptionally easy pork for enchiladas, tamales, or burritos or even to eat all by itself! We use this pork in all sorts of things, but my husband's favorite way is simply right out of the pot. I can't trust him to do the shredding, because too much ends up in his mouth. This pork keeps well and gets even better after a day or two.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of pork. Pork shoulder, also known as pork butt, is a flavorful and affordable cut that is perfect for slow cooking. It becomes tender and juicy when cooked low and slow.
  • Sear the pork before cooking. Searing the pork in a hot skillet before adding it to the slow cooker helps to brown the meat and develop its flavor.
  • Add plenty of liquid to the slow cooker. The pork should be almost completely covered in liquid, so that it stays moist and flavorful throughout the cooking process.
  • Use a flavorful salsa. The salsa is the key to the flavor of this dish, so choose one that you enjoy. You can use a store-bought salsa or make your own.
  • Serve the pork with your favorite sides. This dish can be served with a variety of sides, such as rice, beans, tortillas, or vegetables.

Conclusion:

This crockpot pork salsa verde is an easy and delicious meal that is perfect for a busy weeknight. The pork is tender and juicy, and the salsa verde is flavorful and tangy. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
