Chili Verde

I wanted this to be a 5-star recipe, but for us it just wasn't. We did not care for the texture of the onions OR the pork roast. After 10 hours, the onions were still sort of crisp--bleh. I'd precook those if I had it to do over. And I'd also cube the pork roast, as someone else suggested, if I had it to do over. The long strings were unappetizing looking in the green sauce. The submitter describes this as a "brown sauce" but it isn't--I assure you it's green. Tastes ok, may even taste good with some hot sauce and tortilla chips, but "pretty" it ain't. Thanks for the recipe! EDIT: 4/30/10: In going back over this recipe to post the picture today I have deducted another star. We wound up throwing this out :( In addition to the problems I listed above, we also didn't care for the great Northern beans, and I'd suggest subbing a white bean you already know you love if you make this!

Loved this... I had about 2 1/2 lbs of cooked pork roast so I cut it up and simmered in the slow cooker on high for about three hours in the chicken broth. I also added 1 chopped jalapeno pepper and some cumin to the recipe... I jar of green salsa which I added and then simmered another 30 min. I had to thicken with corn starch and water. We skipped the optional beans and ate it in burritos with Mexican rice and buttered corn! :)
