Slow-Cooker Pork Chili Tacos
- Slow-cooker pork
- 2.5 pounds boneless pork butt (fat trimmed), or pork stew meat, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1.5 teaspoons kosher salt, more to taste
- 1.5 teaspoons garam masala
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne
- 1/2 cup dried yellow or green split peas
- 2.5 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 large yellow onion, finely chopped
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 6 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 serrano or jalapeno pepper, minced
- 28 ounces can or package diced tomatoes
- 1 cup coconut milk, solids and liquid whisked together
- Toppings
- 1 bunch radishes
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup white vinegar
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 1 very ripe mango, diced
- 1/4 cup cilantro, rough chop
- 18 corn tortillas or bib lettuce leaves
- In a large bowl, combine the pork with the cumin, kosher salt, garam masala and cayenne. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
- Cover the split peas with boiling water to cover by 2 inches, and let soak overnight. Drain.
- Heat oil in large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add onion and saute for 8 minutes, or until tender and golden brown. Add cinnamon stick, garlic and jalapeno. Saute for 5 minutes, until the jalapeno is tender. Add the pork and any juices from the bowl and saute until lightly browned all over, about 7 minutes.
- Transfer everything to a crock pot and stir in tomatoes, split peas and coconut milk and season with more salt, to taste. The pork should just be covered by liquid. If it's not, add a little water until it is.
- Cook over low for at least 6 hours, until pork is tender and falling apart easily
- Slice the radishes into 1/4 inch thick rounds.
- In a saucepan, bring the water, vinegar, salt, and sugar to a boil, until the sugar and salt are dissolved. Remove from heat.
- Pack the radishes in a clean pint-sized jar and pour the hot liquid over them.
- Cover and let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate.
- Top a corn tortilla (ideally lightly grilled) with the pork mixture, radishes, mango, and cilantro
