Ingredients

• 1 pound Hatch chile peppers , halved and seeded
• 1 boneless pork roast , 3 pound
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons salt , divided
• 3 tablespoons coarsely ground black pepper , divided

Instructions

1. 1

   Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.

2. 2

   Place chile peppers, cut-sides down, onto the prepared baking sheet.

3. 3

   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.

4. 4

   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.

5. 5

   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.

6. 6

   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.

7. 7

   Cook on Low for 6 hours or High for 4 hours, until pork is tender and the flavors blend.
