Crock Pot Guisado Verde Recipes

SLOW COOKER GUISADO VERDE

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat, and brown the pork on all sides. Reserving the juices in the skillet, transfer the pork to a slow cooker.
• In the skillet with the pork juices over medium heat, saute the onion and garlic about 1 minute. Transfer to the slow cooker, along with skillet juices.
• Mix the tomatillos, green chile peppers, jalapeno peppers, and cilantro into the slow cooker. Season with oregano, salt, and pepper. Pour in 1 quart water, or enough to cover all ingredients. Cover, and cook on High for 6 to 7 hours.
• Shred the cooked pork with a fork. Spoon the slow cooker mixture into bowls, and top with Monterey Jack cheese, sour cream, and fresh cilantro sprigs to serve.

PORK STEW IN GREEN SALSA (GUISADO DE PUERCO CON TOMATILLOS)

Steps:

• Stir together the flour, 1 teaspoon salt, pepper, and cumin in a large bowl. Place the cubed pork into the mixture, and stir well to coat the meat with the seasonings.
• Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy pan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat until the oil shimmers. Working in batches if necessary, place the meat into the hot pan in a single layer. Pan-fry the pork until brown on all sides, about 15 minutes. Remove the pork to a bowl, and cover to keep warm.
• Cook and stir the onion in the hot pan over medium heat, adding more olive oil if necessary, until the onion is translucent and beginning to brown, about 7 minutes. Return the meat to the pan and stir in the garlic, tomatillos, chiles, marjoram, chopped cilantro, and water. Check seasoning and add 1 pinch of salt to taste, if needed. Cover and simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the meat is tender, about 1 hour. Skim excess fat off the stew before serving in bowls, garnished with a dollop of sour cream and a cilantro sprig on each bowl.

CROCK POT CARNE GUISADA

Steps:

• *METHOD 1: If using rump roast, simply place all ingredients into crock pot. Whisk corn starch in with a bit of beef stock before adding to the pot.
• Cook on low for 6-7 hours.
• For best results, stir all ingredients about 1-2 hours into cooking.
• *METHOD 2: If using chuck roast, brown both sides of the roast in a pot before putting it in the crock pot. My new favorite thing to do is to completely omit the crock pot. I brown the chuck roast in a dutch oven, then add remaining ingredients and cook it in a 300 degree oven for about 4 hours, or until the meat is so tender that it pulls apart easily with a fork.
• The tenderness of method 2 (with dutch oven) is absolutely mouth-watering!
• If using a chuck roast, don't forget to pick out all the pieces of fat before serving. You wouldn't want to bite into a piece of that!
• Try it whichever way you like, you won't be disappointed!

Steps:

• Cut chuck roast into bite-sized pieces and season with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon of cooking oil in a large skillet on medium-high and cook meat until browned on all sides, when the meat is browned place into a 5 or 6-quart slow cooker.
• You may need to cook the meat in two batches. When the meat is removed add remaining oil and add chopped onion, tomatoes, chopped bell pepper, diced jalapeno pepper, chopped garlic. When the onions have almost become translucent add spices, flour, and stir to combine.
• When the onions have cooked through add chicken broth and diced tomatoes. Scrape the browned bits up from the bottom of the skillet. Place the meat back into the slow cooker.
• Place lid on the slow cooker and cook on high for 4 1/2 hours. Place cut potatoes and cut carrots into the slow cooker and cook for the remaining 1 1/2 hours.
