Tips:

  • Select the right cut of pork: Choose a pork shoulder or pork butt roast, as these cuts are well-marbled and will become tender and flavorful when cooked slowly.
  • Prep the pork: Before cooking, trim any excess fat from the pork and cut it into 1-inch cubes. This will help it cook evenly.
  • Make the marinade: Combine the chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, garlic, cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Pour the marinade over the pork cubes and let them marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • Sear the pork: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the pork cubes. Sear the pork on all sides until it is browned, about 5 minutes. This will help to seal in the flavor.
  • Slow-cook the pork: Transfer the pork cubes and the marinade to a slow cooker. Add the chicken broth and cook on low for 8-10 hours, or until the pork is fall-apart tender.
  • Make the sauce: While the pork is cooking, make the sauce by combining the tomatoes, green chiles, onion, and garlic in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Pour the sauce into a saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Simmer for 15 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
  • Serve the pork: Serve the pork with the sauce over rice or beans. Garnish with cilantro and avocado slices.

Conclusion:

This easy and flavorful pork picante recipe is perfect for a weeknight meal or a casual gathering. The pork is braised in a spicy and tangy sauce, and it is fall-apart tender. Serve it with rice or beans, and garnish with cilantro and avocado slices. This recipe is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it!
