Comments from the Test Kitchen:

Not only is it tasty, but it's made in a slow cooker too!

Directions

In skillet, heat oil to shimmer and add pork, onion, garlic, salt and crushed red pepper. Sauté meat and onion mixture until onions are translucent and the pork juices run clear.

Remove contents of skillet to a slow cooker. Deglaze skillet with 1 cup of broth and add this to slow cooker as well.

Add tomatillos, 1 can of hominy, cilantro, oregano, broth, green chilies and spices to slow cooker. Turn cooker on medium, giving a stir after about 1 hour. Check for seasoning and add additional as necessary. Reduce to low/warm and cover and heat for an additional 2 hours.

30 minutes before service, raise temp back to high and add last can of hominy and frozen corn. Check for seasoning and add additional as necessary. Ladle into bowls and garnish with fresh cilantro and Cotija cheese. Serve with warm tortillas.

This sounds fabulous but my slow cooker doesn't have a medium setting. Can I just put it on low for a longer time? How long would you recommend?

On low, make it about 90-120 minutes.

Let me know how it was...

It was very, very good! I reduced the cayenne pepper to one teaspoon, though. I LOVE spicy food but, unfortunately it does not love me back :( Still, it was quite spicy. The only other change I made was to add a couple of scoops of Chia seeds. They don't change the flavor at all, absorb liquid (making it a bit thicker) and add a ton of nutrients. I served this with warm flour tortillas. I didn't have any of the cheese due to dietary restrictions but my husband did. Thank you for sharing this. I will definitely be making this again.
