This pork chili verde was a recipe that I had originally intended to share for a Cooking Through My Collection recipe, but I ended up changing the recipe so much that it is really more of an inspired by recipe.
The recipe that inspired this recipe was from an old Everyday Food magazine that I have. The magazine is actually from 2008. I have gotten quite a few food magazines over the years, but for the majority of them I take the recipes I want out and then get rid of the magazine. I just don’t have the space to store a lot of magazines.
Everyday Food Magazine, by Martha Stewart, though is one that I have hung on to. I have about five years worth of the old magazines and I love looking through them to find recipes and recipe inspiration.
This particular recipe was for a green pork chili. It contained some items that I did not have and it was a stovetop version. I knew I could easily keep the same idea, but simplify the recipe.
One of the ways I simplified it was to turn it into a crockpot recipe. It turned out delicious and my whole family loved it.

That looks amazing! This is going on the menu for next week. 🙂
I’m wondering, however, if you’re planning on shredding the pork, is it really necessary to cut it into chunks?

No you don’t have to. If you put a large pork roast in whole it might take a little longer to cook, but you could easily save that step if you want to and just shred it when it is done. I think the chunks just make it a little easier, but it is not necessary. I hope you enjoy it!
