Crockpot Green Chili Pork with Cauliflower Rice and Black Beans

adapted from Paleo Newbie

Green Chili Pork Ingredients

2 lbs of pork loin

1 small onion, chopped

2 cans (4 oz size) of green chilis

Juice of 2 limes (about 1/4 cup)

1/2 cup chicken broth

1 tbs chili powder

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp salt

1 tsp pepper

1 tsp cumin

1/2 tsp cayenne

1 can of black beans, drained and rinsed

Cilantro Lime Rice (Cauliflower)

1 head of cauliflower – "riced" in the food processor

1/4 cup broth (from the crockpot)

1/2 tsp garlic powder

2 limes, plus zest

1/4 cup chopped cilantro – leaves only

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Set slow-cooker to low

2. Chop onion and add to slow-cooker

3. Pour in 1/2 cup of chicken broth

4. Next combine all of the pork spices in a small bowl

Use the spices as a rub and coat the pork roast completely on all sides

5. Juice the 2 limes, and add to slow-cooker

6. Add your pork roast to the slow-cooker and pour the two cans of chilies over the roast

7. Cook for 6-8 hrs. I cooked mine over 8 and it was fine.

8. Once the pork is done, start the cauliflower rice

9. Chop up a head of cauliflower and place in a food processor

Pulse it until it turns into particles resembling rice – this should happen pretty quickly

10. Turn on a cooktop burner to medium to medium-high heat and add the cauliflower "rice"

11. Get some of the yummy broth from the slow-cooker – about 1/4 cup – and add to rice pan, add 1/2 tsp of garlic powder

12. Just watch it and stir occasionally as it cooks. Continue cooking for 10-12 minutes

13. While the rice cooks, put the black beans in a small sauce pan with about 1/2 cup of liquid from the crockpot and heat them through.

14. Once the rice is done, stir in the juice and zest of 2 limes, add cilantro, and salt and pepper to taste

Enjoy!
