Williams Sonoma Braising Sauce, Tomatillo Green Chile Carnitas

Flavor Profile

• Tomatillos, green chiles, lime

Why We Love It

• Bring tangy Mexican flavors to the table with our time-saving sauce. We combine chile peppers, paprika, garlic and spices, and chunky onions, green chiles and tomatillo seeds, and slow-simmer them to create zesty heat. Prep is simple – just add to browned chicken, pork or beef and simmer in a Dutch oven or slow cooker. Serve over vegetables or rice, or use it as a filling for tacos or burritos.
• A Williams Sonoma exclusive.

Preparation Instructions

• Slow cooker method: Transfer the pork to the insert and add 1 jar braising sauce. Cover and cook on high until the meat is fork-tender, 6 to 7 hours, turning the meat once halfway through.
