Ingredients

  • 2 ½ pounds of boneless pork loin, diced into 3/4-inch pieces
  • 1 can (14.5 ounces) of diced tomatoes, drained
  • 2 cans (7 ounces each) of diced green chiles
  • 2 yams, peeled and chopped into 1/2-inch cubes

In a slow cooker, meld the flavors of succulent pork, ripe tomatoes, zesty green chiles, sweet yams, aromatic onion, piquant garlic, earthy cumin, fragrant oregano, a hint of salt, a dash of black pepper, and a touch of hot pepper sauce. Let it simmer gently on Low heat for 6 to 7 hours until the pork reaches a melt-in-your-mouth tenderness.
