My grandmother always did BBQ on Christmas since everyone was pretty much ham and turkey'ed out. We can't make it down this year, so we're going to give this a go in the slow cooker for Christmas Eve dinner:

Pork Carnitas
2 pork tenderloins (about 1 pound each)
1 (15-18 ounce) jar of your favorite salsa verde
1 (10 ounce) can Rotel tomatoes
1 (4 ounce) can diced green chilies
1 white onion, chopped in large pieces
1/2 teaspoon cumin

8-10 hous on low until it pulls apart easily. I'll report back on the results.

Sounds good. I've got one made with wheat beer instead of salsa that's pretty nice. Funny you mentioned BBQ though. With the folks in town, they asked for pulled pork, so I just checked the one I started last night - going nicely and is now in the "stall." Should be eatin' some pig late this afternoon.

Black bean and chicken stew

4-5 lbs chicken thighs (w/ skin and bones)
1 lb chopped carrots
1/2 head chopped celery
4 medium chopped onions
one package dry black beans
4 chicken bouillon cubes
rice

Spices (to taste):
4 bay leaves
turmeric
cumin
coriander
cayenne pepper
garlic powder/crushed garlic
sea salt
ground pepper

Cover the ingredients except for the rice and black beans with water, cook for 8-12 hours on high. Soak black beans for 4-8 hours. Drain and add black beans, cook on low for four hours. Separate chicken from bones. Remove the bay leaves. Cook rice separately and add when ready to serve.

Note-- the beans absorb a lot of the spices in leftovers. If you are planning to eat most of this later, go heavy on the spices. Adding a large can of stewed tomatoes works too.

Fantastic. Only thing I would do is ad in a bit of spice. Maybe a diced habanero chili since I like my food hot. Other than that it was perfect. I think this would work well with a beef loin as well.

Makes a perfect sammich. Keep a bit of the cooking liquid in a tupperware container for spooning over the sammich and you're good to go.

The problem with electronic controls is that if your power blips, and you're not there, you're screwed.

I lost a nice steak with mushroom gravy that way once.

The next day I ordered one with a mechanical switch.

Reviving this shizzle. Start this before lunch if you wanna eat before 7.

Carnitas braised in wheat beer
2 lbs boneless pork shoulder, cut into 1-inch chunks
1 large onion, quartered
5 garlic cloves, lightly crushed
2 bay leaves
1 tbsp cumin seeds
1 tbsp coriander seeds
1 cinnamon stick
1 ancho or other mild dried chile
salt and black pepper
2 12-oz bottles Belgian-style wheat beer
neutral oil, like grapeseed or corn, if needed
lime wedges for serving

Put pork, onion, garlic, bay leaves, cumin, coriander, cinnamon, chile, and some salt and pepper in a Dutch oven or a large pot with a lid. Add beer, and water if needed, to cover. Turn heat to high, bring to boil and skim off any foam that forms on the surface. Partly cover and adjust heat to simmer. Cook until meat is quite tender, about 1 hour, then cool.

Discard bay leaves and spices and chile. Break or chop meat into bite-size pieces, return to pot, and cook uncovered until liquid has evaporated. Continue cooking in remaining fat until crisped and browned; add a little oil if it sticks or becomes dry. Serve with lime wedges, or cover and refrigerate up to 2 days. Serves 4 to 6.

Carnitas with a tenderloin? Would pretty much assume it was always butt/shoulder. Are mistaken in the description or do you actually use tenderloin?

I've used it before for smaller portions. I prefer shoulder because I'm cheap.

Hmm. Let's see.
1. I make the first post to this thread in >8 months. A pork carnitas recipe.
2. You make a reply to a carnitas recipe same day with no quote.
3. I make a reasonable assumption.
4. You get panties in a twist.

Hey, here's an idea. I was fucking joking. Lighten up Francis.

My panties aren't in a bunch I've just been looking for an opportunity to call someone dickweed, Mary. :finga:

BTW, fuck the slow cooker. I am braising short ribs tonight.

Pat dry and rub w/ brown sugar, chili powder, garlic salt, ground mustard, cumin, and a shake of crushed red.
Brown off in the dutch oven and set to the side
Toss in some onions and some wee heavy and deglaze the pan
Put the short ribs back in and cover with beer, bring to a simmer and throw in the oven for 2-3 hours at 300

Does the tenderloin "pull" like the butt does? Or do you just chop it up?

I pull mine apart with two forks. As far as slow cooking is concerned, it works about the same.

Short ribs are the shit. These sounds good too.

Ingredients
1 cup steel cut oats
1 cup dried cranberries
1 cup dried figs
4 cups water
1/2 cup half-and-half
Directions
In a slow cooker, combine all ingredients and set to low heat. Cover and let cook for 8 to 9 hours.
Stir and remove to serving bowls. This method works best if started before you go to bed. This way your oatmeal will be finished by morning.
http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alto ... ecipe.html

Usually I skip the fruit, and adjust it for only much as will be eaten in the morning. I also put it into a smaller ceramic or glass container inside the slow cooker-- both for serving and for cleanup purposes. Generally I add any fruit and spices in the morning.

Did this one yesterday, but used a lower priced cut of pork. Turned out really good, but next time I think I'll also add in a can of diced jalapenos, maybe a few more spices too.

After pulling the pork apart, I skimmed off the fat on top, and let it cook on low for a bit longer to allow the flavor develop into the meat more.
