Slow Cooker Green Pork Chili

Recipe provided by Cecilia J. "Perfect for those cold winter months. The cilantro and chopped leaks are optional, but it’ll taste even better if you add them!"

  • Cilantro leaves, 1/2 cup (optional, but good)
  • Chopped leaks (optional, but good)

Directions

  1. Wash and par-boil beans for 30 mins. Rinse with cold water to remove bubbles.
