Heathers Crock Pot Tomatillos Recipes

SLOW COOKED CHICKEN WITH TOMATILLOS, POTATOES, JALAPENOS AND FRE

Steps:

• Spread the onion over the bottom of a slow cooker. Sprinkle with salt. Continue with layers of the potato slices, chicken thighs, epazote or cilantro and then Tomatillos. Sprinkling salt evenly over each layer before moving on to the next. Scatter the jalapeno slices over everything, then drizzle on the pickling juice. Cover and slow cook on high for 6 hours.
• Carefully transfer a portion of the pollo Pulquero onto each dinner plate. If there is a large amount of juice in the cooker, tip or ladle it into a saucepan, set it over high heat and boil quickly to reduce to a rich consistency. Taste and season with more salt, if needed, then drizzle over each serving. Sprinkle each portion with chopped cilantro.
• Variations:.
• Pork shoulder and beef chuck, cut into 1 inch cubes are excellent substitutes for the chicken thighs. If available, use banana leaves and line the slow cooker or Dutch oven before assembling all the parts.
• Oven Version:.
• Heat the oven to 400 degrees F. Layer the dish as described above in a medium large (4 to 6 quarts, 10 to 12 inch diameter) heavy pot, preferably a Dutch oven. Set the lid in place and bake for 45 minutes. Remove the lid and bake 15 to 20 minutes longer to reduce the juices. Spoon directly from the pot onto plates.

HEATHER'S CROCK POT TOMATILLOS

Steps:

• Add all of the ingredients (other than the meat) to your slow-cooker. No need to stir. If you're not adding meat, turn on high 4 hours. Serve as a taco filling, or mix with cooked sweet corn kernels as a thick soup.
• If using chicken breasts, nestle those on top and turn it on to high for 5-6 hours. Remove the chicken and shred it, and either mix it back into the tomatillo mixture or serve separately, reducing the sauce for a while first.
• If using pork, trim off any excess fat ribbons first and then salt and pepper and sear it over high heat in some oil, 4 minutes per side. Rest it on top of the other ingredients and turn the cooker on to high for 5-6 hours. Pork is done when it shreds easily. Same as with the chicken, remove it to shred and serve separately with the sauce on top (reduce the sauce for a few minutes first), or mix the shredded meat back into the pot and serve all together.
