Crock Pot Chile Verde by Nancy Miyasaki

This is a super easy and delicious Chile Verde. We make a great Chile Verde from scratch with fresh tomatillos, but it's a lot of work. If you're tight for time, this recipe is 90% as good with a third the effort. The canned green salsa is made from tomatillos and the combination is really delicious. You can probably find a larger…

Pork Stew with Wine by John Spottiswood

This is another phenomenal recipe that I adapted from a recipe from James Villas in Stews, Bogs, and Burgoos. I still have not found a recipe from this book that is not amazing.

Slow Cooker Beef with Barley Soup by John Spottiswood

Kidney Bean Chili with Turkey, Tempeh, or Beef by Nancy Miyasaki

This is reminiscent of the chili my mother used to make. It is hearty and flavorful. I make it with turkey, the base recipe is for beef, and my good friend makes it with tempeh. Take your pick...it's delicious any way you make it. Good choices for condiments are diced tomatoes and avocado, chopped green or red onions, chopped…

Slow-cooker Beef Stew from Argentina by John Spottiswood

I slightly adapted thie famous Argentine beef stew to be slightly more flavorful...and thus to my liking. The extra cumin seeds, paprika, cayenne, salt and pepper don't take away from the flavor of the meat and vegetables, but they give an added kick that makes this classic family stew extraordinary. We had it at our family reunion,…
