Low-FODMAP variation of Qdoba pulled pork

[kyrielle]

So, I love Qdoba's pulled pork. And honestly I tolerate it pretty well. But I confess to a desire to make it at home, and why would I _not_ convert it closer to low FODMAP?

So, I got the recipe I started with here: http://qdobaathome.blogspot.com/2013/04/pulled-pork.html

And I did this:

3 pounds pork*
1 bunch green onions, green portion, chopped
1-2 Poblano chilies, cut into thin strips
2 Jalapeños, seeded and minced
0-2 Anaheim or Hatch green chilies, cut into thin strips**
2 cups tomatillos, husked, cut into large chunks***
garlic-infused olive oil (maybe 2-3 tsp?)
2-2.5 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Wash and cut onions, tomatillos, and peppers. Place in bottom of crock pot. Place pork on top of vegetables. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and garlic-infused oil.

Turn crock pot on low and cook for a minimum of six hours. (Per the original recipe, if your crock pot has a high setting you can cook on high for the first two hours, but don't leave on high too long as pork will become tough.)

After six hours, shred pork with tongs or forks, removing any fat prior to shredding.

* I used carnitas; pork chops and shoulder roast have both reportedly worked for others.

** I totally omitted these, I liked the milder flavor.

*** Hahaha I misremembered and only used 2 tomatillos, this would be much better.

...so so so SO good.

Ahh the mention of Qdoba brought back long forgotten memories of my time in the States. I forget what it was called that I loved so much there.. maybe also the pulled pork one!

*grins* Could've been. The chicken's not bad but a little dry, and I like the steak and the ground beef, but I flatly adore the pork. :)

It wasn't chicken, for sure pork or steak.. Do they have a sandwich with steak and jus? Hmmm I don't remember except that it was really REALLY good.

They do burritos and other things - no sandwiches - so I'm not sure we're thinking of the same restaurant. :)

Yes it was defeinitely QDoba that I'm thinking of, but maybe I'm mixing up food from another place. But I coulda swore they did something there where you had sliced meat on.. something and then an added pot of gravy on the side. Do they have soups too? Now i'm going to googlemaps to see whether the place is still there LOL

Hmm can't see it from the distance on googlemaps LOL. I do know it's a good thing we moved cause what used to be a K-mart is now a Michael's and that place is just too much of a candystore for me to have that close by ;)
