Meh. So-so. My hubs was by far a bigger fan than I was. Don't get me wrong.... This wasn't terrible (I had two servings), it was just really boring. To be fair, I did make several changes, hence my 4 star rating. I can't justify a lesser rating because I feel what I did significantly impacted the outcome (and to my surprise, not in a good way). Instead of using canned tomatillos, I subbed (2) 32 oz. jars of Herdez salsa verde (I already had one barely used jar in the fridge that I wanted to use up anyways). I omitted the jalapenos and diced green chilies, but still added the onion and garlic. I subbed chicken broth for water (to add flavor), added a 29 oz. can of (drained) hominy and ended up using a pork loin filet because my grocer didn't have any 2 lb. shoulder roasts available. In retrospect, I think whole tomatillos would have been perfect. They would have added some texture (as is, my stew was very soupy). I won't pass over making this again, but when I do, I'll be sure to NOT make any major alterations. I do however, feel that subbing chicken broth or beer for water and adding hominy or cannellini beans are a good idea and would make those adjustments again. Shredded Monterey-jack cheese, cilantro and a dollop of sour cream were nice garnishes. Thanks for sharing, Fastcooker! :-)
