Chile Pork Rojo Crockpot Recipe

Growing up, my mom always introduced me to various cultures of food: Mexican, Indian, Thai, etc. she was (and is) always trying new recipe; all of which are delicious!

Not only was she trying new recipes, she was interpreting them, altering, and making them her own personal creations.

On Wednesday I caught her, yet again, creating a wonderfully scrumptious meal.

She calls it Chile Pork Rojo, a rendition of her experimenting with Chile Verde.

So you can have a little taste of what it was like eating at my house growing up, my mom graciously provided the recipe.

Enjoy!

2. Put all the ingredients (minus the pork) in the blender and pulse until it is liquefied.
3. Place the pork in a slow cooker and pour the blended ingredients on top.
