Инструкции
- Rinse the roast, dry with paper towels, and season with salt and pepper. Heat 2 tsp of the oil in a large skillet over medium high. Brown the roast on all sides, reducing heat if it smokes, about 10 minutes. Put the roast in the slow cooker.
- Add the remaining 2 tsp of oil to the skillet and heat to medium. Add the onions, jalapenos, cumin, and 1/4 tsp salt. Cook until the onions are soft, about 5 min. Stir in the garlic and cook for 20 seconds. Stir in the tomatoes and their juice, scraping up bits. Bring to a simmer then pour into the slow cooker.
- Add the broth, orange juice, orange zest, chipotles, and oregano to the slow cooker. Add the chopped sweet potatoes, nestling them around the edges of the meat. Cover and cook on low until the roast is tender and registers about 170, about 5-6 hours.
- Transfer the pork to a carving board and tent loosely with foil. Let the rest of the ingredients settle for 5 minutes and skim off any fat.
- Now you have two choices. You can put all the cooking liquid and vegetables in a blender and puree it. The sweet potatoes will thicken it nicely. Or, you can leave as is and serve the sweet potatoes and a more liquid broth over the meat.
- Mix all of the ingredients for the cilantro sour cream and season with salt and pepper.
- Untie the roast and slice in 1/2 inch thick slices. Arrange the meat on a servinig platter, pouring 1 cup of the sauce over the top. Serve the remaining sauce in a gravy container, and the cilantro sour cream on the side.
