I really enjoyed this Easy Slow Cooker Pork Posole – it had loads of flavor (plus a good amount of heat) with minimal effort! There was a nice variety of textures in the dish between hominy, avocado, tortilla chips and soup. Definitely a great weeknight dinner, as long as you turn on the slow cooker the day before you plan to eat it.
I had a small oversight that worked out quite well in the end: I overlooked that the shoulder should have been cut into 10cm pieces. I left it in one piece, browned it a bit, then put it in the slow cooker (which I oiled a bit before preheating for 15 minutes). After 4 hours in the heat, the meat was tender and tender. I didn’t even have to remove it to shred it, although it would certainly be easier.
I also enjoyed it with some shredded cotija and some diced poblano from the garden, in addition to the recommended side dishes.
