Pork Adobo (1)

When I first decided to make this recipe, I didn’t really realize that it was a Mexican flavored type of dish.  I guess I always gravitate towards Mexican food.  I hope you don’t mind.  😀  Really though, this dish can be pretty versatile.  You can have it as a Mexican food (like on tortillas or tacos with cheese, sour cream and salsa), you could serve just the meat and eat it with sides OR you could even put it on a salad with loads of vegetables.  The flavor isn’t overly Mexican, it just tastes great that way.  Look how amazing that picture looks.  Makes my mouth water a bit…every time I see it.

Ingredients

  • 3 lbs pork shoulder fat trimmed
  • 2 4- oz can of chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
  • 1 cup water
  • 6 tsp minced garlic
  • 1 onion chopped into quarters
  • 1 tbsp coriander
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 2 bay leaves
  • salt & pepper
  • 1/4 cup cilantro

Instructions

  •  Pour both cans of chipotle peppers in adobo sauce into bowl.
  • If you're OK with spicy, cut up the peppers with scissors or a knife.  If you prefer less heat, pull out the chipotle peppers.
  • Mix in all spices and a cup of water.
  • Place pork shoulder in slow cooker.
  • Salt and pepper the pork shoulder.
  • Pour adobo mixture over the meat.
  • Cover and cook on low for 8 hours, until the pork is fork tender.
  • Pull the pork apart using two forks and mix together with the sauce remaining in the slow cooker.
  • Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro.

Freezer to Slow Cooker Instructions:

  • Follow instructions 1-5 above.
  • Place pork shoulder in a gallon sized freezer safe bag.
  • Pour adobo mixture over it, swishing it around so it's well covered and marinating in the freezer.
  • Label & Lay as flat as possible to freeze.
  • On cooking day, it's best to have the meat thawed out before beginning, but if you forget, you can defrost bag in microwave or run it under hot water until it is able to slip out of the bag (sometimes I cut the bag off).  Be sure to add an extra 1-2 hours of cooking if any of the food goes in frozen.

You can serve this on tortillas, taco shells, over taco chips or even on a bun for a spicy pulled pork sandwich with amazing taste.   You can even serve it over lettuce for a low carb friendly meal.  It’s great to know we can eat so well and be off of most carbs if we want to!

  • Amorette DavisUser of the Free Freezer to Slow Cooker One Week Menu

    Thank you so much! As a special needs mommy these recipes have helped us so much.   I often am very busy with being a nurse for our child that I don't have time for making sure we get meals.  This allows me to do all my prep on the weekends, while my husband is home to help, and to cook during the week.  So grateful!

  • Linda SearsOwner of Freezer to Slow Cooker Menus

    Sarah’s Freezer to Slow Cooker ebooks have been a fantastic addition to my meal plans.  They make meal planning easy and my family happy. I love the way each recipe is laid out, with a shopping list and ingredient prep list, along with cooking instructions. Sarah’s done all the hard work for me!  The recipes have used have all been delicious and easily adaptable to my family’s taste and the number of people I’m serving.

  • FranOwner of Freezer to Slow Cooker Ebooks
     I purchased all of your freezer to slow cooker ebooks a month or so ago and I'm in love with this way of cooking.  I now have taken all 10 weeks of recipes and written them of my menu planner and then I repeated the 10 weeks and will continue to do so throughout the year.  My family of 5 adults and 1 child enjoy the meals that you have planned and I have cooked and I'm excited that the next time when that meal comes due up in the rotation I won't have to purchase anything but just pull it from the freezer.  Thank you so much

    This makes my life so much easier. I'm a busy work at home/stay at home mom, wife, business woman and I feel like dinner is always the thing I just never get time to do. We have done like 15 of the crockpot recipes from Sarah and they are all very yummy. They get a thumbs up from my husband and kids every time. And there is always enough for my husband to take the left overs at least 2x per recipe. I have a family of 5, 2 adults, 21, 13, 16. So it makes plenty. Thank you Sarah.

  • Dawn S.Buyer of Freezer to Slow Cooker Ebook Series
    I am a 59-year-old wife and mother of two grown children.  I love your idea of fixing a lot of meals ahead of time and then pulling one out, put it in the crockpot, and you have dinner when you get home.  I hate feeling rushed when I cook so Monday - Friday I use those crockpot meals and make enough that we have lunch the next day.  I take Sunday afternoon, fix up what I need for the week (I don't have a lot of freezer space so I do a week's worth at a time) and I'm done with it!  Saturdays I like to try new recipes from some of my cookbooks which I am finding I can freeze as well!  So you have shown me a whole new way to organize my time and still put a healthy meal on the table.  Thanks so much and I look forward to future blogs.
