Boy do I miss clams. Louisiana has alot of great seafood but clams aren't part of the mix. I remember the one that my Dad call, "little blackneck" clams. Steamed, clarified butter, yummy!!!

Yes, just a regular, prepared tomatillo based salsa. I have made my own in the past with canned tomatillos (plus garlic, lime, onions, cilantro, etc. in the blender). We don't get fresh ones here in Oz, so I have to make do with what I can pick up, canned, from specialty stores.
I have a Le Creuset Dutch-oven so I use that for my slow-cooking. The pork took about 3 hours. I've been looking at buying a proper electric slow-cooker with a timer but haven't decided on one yet. But I do like the Dutch oven as I can brown stuff in it if I have to.
The pork was a cut of leg. I've also used bone-in shoulder which the recipe specifies but I can't always get it as easily as leg.
It's very simple: 3.5lb pork, 15oz bottle salsa, 1 finely chopped medium onion, 3 cups reduced salt chicken stock, 2tsp each cumin & coriander seeds, 1 tsp dried oregano, salt. Put it all in the pot, cook. Plus some chopped fresh cilantro for serving. I add a couple extra garlic cloves and juice of half a lime.
Thanks!
I've made my own salsa verde with fresh tomatillos, both for chips & cooking, I may still prefer fresh with chips but have found a jarred one that should work well for cooking and I do like the pork/salsa verde combo.
I like your additions, particularly the cumin & coriander seeds, will have to try that when we get a little deeper into cold "I need comfort food" season

Thanks for sharing this recipe. I will have to give it a try soon! Yes, this thread will keep you on your toes.....we are good talkers here!
A good morning to everyone!
The Dijon mustard, honey chicken turned out so good last night! Really juicy and flavorful. For the Dijon sauce I mixed mayo, Dijon mustard, a splash of lemmon and soy sauce, fresh rosemary and honey. I put a little season salt and pepper on my chicken and then I let my chicken marinate in the Dijon sauce for about an hour and then cooked it meat side down for 20 min covered and then turned it over and baked it for another 25 minutes without the cover at 350 in the oven. I basted it a few times with the sauce during the cooking. For the pierogies I fried them in some oo with onions and red and green bell peppers until a bit browned. I used chicken thighs with bones this time but I think next time I will use boneless. It's just easier to eat without the bones although I do believe the bones add flavor. Hubby doesn't care for the bones! It was an easy, good meal!
