Pork Chili Verdi

Pork Chili Verdi

I recently added pork stew meat to my cutting instructions at the butcher, and I wish I had though of it sooner! The packages are 1 1/2 pounds of pork shoulder roast, cut into one inch chunks. I’ve used it in several crock pot meals, and I like that there is less trimming and prep to do before getting it in to cook.

This new cut has been showing up a lot in our monthly meat CSA shares recently. Click here to learn how to become a monthly sustaining member or an investing member!

In this recipe, I take advantage of that to get a hearty, spicy green stew going with a short amount of prep time. If you want to make this in a slow cooker, you can transfer it into a crock pot after step 6 in the instructions. To make an easy weekday option put it in the refrigerator at that point and cook it on low in the crock pot while you’re away.

Taco Soup

This is a great week night soup. It comes together quickly, and it’s even better the next day! Adjust the spice level to suit your tastes. We like it spicy. The heat can be moderated with some avocado or sour cream. (Ground beef is a regular part of our CSA shares and can also be… Continue Reading
