Chili Verde (slow cooker and pressure cooker variations)
I'm on a roll today! I have a backlog of low-carb recipes after my husband's first week on the diet. Here's another one involving a Crockpot, which fulfills my promise to only use the device when it actually improves the recipe. In this case, slow cooking lean pork roast makes it super tender and flavors the sauce beautifully. Instead of chopping tomatillos (which are expensive where I live) I use jarred salsa verde as a shortcut. I often chop the veggies in the food processor instead of by hand. This turns out equally well in a pressure cooker. I love how flavorful and tangy this dish is.

1 bunch cilantro (remove leaves, chop them, and set aside for garnish. Chop the stems and cook in Crockpot with rest of ingredients.)
1 large onion, roughly chopped
6 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
2-6 jalapenos, roughly chopped, with seeds (we love spice, so I do 6, seeds and all. If you are sensitive to spice, try one or two, and remove the seeds)
