1 jar (16 oz.) salsa verde
1 can (4 oz.) mild diced green chiles, not drained
1 Tbsp. vegetable oil
3 1/2 lb. boneless pork shoulder roast, trimmed of excess fat and cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
1 large onion, diced (about 3 cups)
2 tsp. cumin
2 cups College Inn® Chicken Bone Broth
3/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, divided, plus more for garnish
6 Tbsp. plain whole milk Greek yogurt
2 Tbsp. lime juice
1 tsp. kosher salt
2 bags (10 oz. each) shredded cabbage
Avocado slices, optional
Pour salsa and green chiles into a 6-qt. slow cooker. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Working in two batches, sear pork about 5 minutes per batch, until browned on all sides; transfer to slow cooker. Discard all but 1 Tbsp. fat from skillet.
Add onion to skillet and cook about 3 minutes over medium-high, until softened and lightly browned; transfer to slow cooker. Add cumin and bone broth to skillet; scrape up browned bits from bottom of pan using a wooden spoon. Simmer 5 to 6 minutes over medium-high until reduced to 1 cup; transfer to slow cooker. Cover and cook 8 to 9 hours on LOW or 4 to 5 hours on HIGH, until pork is very tender. Skim fat from top of stew, then stir in 1/4 cup of cilantro.
About 15 minutes before stew is done, whisk together yogurt, lime juice and salt in a large bowl. Add cabbage and remaining 1/2 cup cilantro and toss to coat evenly. Serve chile verde over bed of slaw. Garnish with avocado and additional cilantro, if desired.
