Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound Hatch chile peppers halved and seeded
  • 3 pound boneless pork roast cubed
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons salt divided
  • 3 tablespoons coarsely ground black pepper divided
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil
  • 2 cups chicken stock
  • 15 ounce can diced tomatoes with green chile peppers
  • 1 large sweet onion chopped
  • 2 tablespoons ground cumin
  • 3 cloves garlic

Instructions
 

  • Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  • Place chile peppers, cut-sides down, onto the prepared baking sheet.
  • Cook under the preheated broiler until the skin of peppers has blackened and blistered, 5 to 8 minutes. Place blackened peppers into a large bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Allow peppers to steam as they cool, about 20 minutes. Remove and discard skins; chop peppers into small pieces and set aside.
  • Place pork in a large resealable plastic bag; add flour, 2 tablespoons salt, and 2 tablespoons black pepper. Seal the bag well and toss to coat.
  • Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir pork in hot oil until browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a slow cooker.
  • Add chopped peppers, chicken stock, diced tomatoes with green chile peppers, onion, cumin, remaining 1 tablespoon salt, remaining 1 tablespoon black pepper, and garlic to the slow cooker; mix well.
  • Cook on Low for 6 hours or High for 4 hours, until pork is tender and the flavors blend.

Notes

You can thicken the chili with flour or masa if you like.
