Slow-cooker Carne Adovada
Serves: 12
Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp canola oil
- 3 Tbsp all-purpose flour
- 4 Tbsp red chili powder
- 2 cups warm water
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- ¼ tsp Mrs Dash Chicken Grilling Seasoning blend
- ½ tsp ground cumin
- 1½ tsp dried oregano
- 3 pounds cubed pork roast
Instructions
- Heat oil over medium heat in a skillet or frying pan. Stir in flour and brown until light golden brown. Blend in chili powder. Slowly add water, stirring until lumps are removed. Add garlic, Mrs Dash, cumin, and oregano. Simmer on medium heat until the water is absorbed, leaving a paste. Remove from heat and let cool.
- Place the pork in a large zip-locked plastic bag or covered casserole pan. When the chili paste has cooled, add it to pork and stir (or squeeze the plastic bag) until all surfaces of the pork are thoroughly covered with the paste. Refrigerate and marinate for at least 12 hours, or overnight.
- After it marinates, cook in a covered slow-cooker for 8-10 hours, or until meat is well cooked. IT should be very tender and falling apart.
