# Slow Cooker Black Bean Soup
## Ingredients:
- **Beans**:
- 2 cups dried black beans, soaked overnight and drained
- **Veggies**:
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 1 bell pepper (red or green), chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 carrots, chopped
- 2 celery stalks, chopped
- **Liquid**:
- 6 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes (optional)
- **Seasonings/Spices**:
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp smoked paprika (or regular paprika)
- 1 bay leaf
- ½ tsp cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
- ½ tsp dried oregano (optional)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- **Finish**:
- Juice of 1 lime
- Fresh cilantro, chopped for garnish
- **For Creaminess (Optional)**:
- 1 cup sour cream or plain yogurt (or coconut milk for a dairy-free option)
## Instructions:
1. **Beans Prep**: After soaking the black beans overnight, drain and rinse them to remove any impurities.
2. **Layering in Slow Cooker**: Add onions, bell pepper, garlic, carrots, and celery to the slow cooker. If using, add the diced tomatoes.
3. Place the black beans over the veggies.
4. Sprinkle with cumin, smoked paprika, bay leaf, cayenne pepper, dried oregano (if using), salt, and black pepper.
5. Pour in the broth, ensuring the beans are well submerged.
6. Cook on LOW for 6-8 hours or HIGH for 3-4 hours, until beans are tender.
7. Once cooked, remove the bay leaf. For a creamier texture, use an immersion blender to partially blend the soup, leaving some beans whole for texture.
8. Stir in the lime juice and adjust seasonings if needed.
9. Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro. If desired, swirl in some sour cream, plain yogurt, or coconut milk for added creaminess.
## Tips:
- **Toppings**: Offer toppings like shredded cheese, chopped green onions, diced tomatoes, crumbled queso fresco, diced red onions, or avocado slices for added flavor and texture.
- **Accompaniment**: This soup pairs wonderfully with crusty bread, tortilla chips, a side of rice, or a fresh green salad.
- **Storage**: It stores well in the refrigerator for up to 4 days and can be easily reheated on the stovetop or microwave.

## Slow Cooker Carnitas
### Ingredients:
- 3 to 4 pounds pork shoulder or pork butt, cut into large chunks
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 5 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 cinnamon stick (optional)
- 2 oranges, juiced (and keep the spent halves)
- 2 limes, juiced
### Instructions:
1. **Preparation**: Combine the salt, black pepper, oregano, cumin, chili powder, and paprika in a small bowl. Rub this spice mixture all over the pork pieces.
2. **Layering Ingredients**: Place the spiced pork chunks in the slow cooker. Spread the chopped onion and minced garlic over the pork. Tuck in the bay leaves and cinnamon stick around the meat.
3. **Adding Citrus**: Squeeze the juice of the oranges and limes over the pork. After squeezing, add the spent orange halves to the slow cooker as well.
4. **Slow Cooking**: Cover and cook on LOW for 8 to 10 hours or on HIGH for 5 to 6 hours, or until the pork is tender and easily shreds with a fork.
5. **Crisping (optional)**: Once cooked, transfer the pork to a baking sheet, shred it with two forks, and spread it out in a single layer. Place under a broiler for about 5 minutes or until the edges become crispy and golden. Alternatively, you can crisp up the pork in a hot pan with a bit of the cooking juices.
6. **Serve**: Use the carnitas for tacos, burritos, salads, or any of your favorite Mexican dishes. Drizzle with some of the remaining juices from the slow cooker for added flavor.
### Tips:
- Skim off the fat from the juices left in the slow cooker and use it to moisten the pork before broiling or frying.
- The addition of citrus, especially orange, gives a unique flavor to the carnitas, distinguishing it from other pulled pork dishes.

## Serving Suggestions:
Serve your Cowboy Beans with warm tortillas, Mexican rice, or even as a filling for tacos and burritos.

# Slow Cooker Arroz con Pollo
## Ingredients:
- **Chicken**:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
- **Rice**:
- 1 ½ cups long-grain white rice, rinsed until water runs clear
- **Liquid**:
- 3 cups chicken broth
- ½ cup tomato sauce or crushed tomatoes
- **Veggies**:
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- 1 green bell pepper, chopped
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- ½ cup frozen peas (to be added towards the end)
- Optional: ¼ cup green olives, pitted and sliced
- **Seasonings/Herbs**:
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- A pinch of saffron (or 1 tsp turmeric for color if saffron isn't available)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
## Instructions:
1. **Prepping Chicken**: If desired, briefly sear chicken pieces in a pan with a little oil over medium heat for 3-4 minutes on each side until they gain a golden hue. Set aside.
2. **Layering in Slow Cooker**: Place the onions, red and green bell peppers at the bottom.
3. Evenly distribute the rinsed rice over the vegetables.
4. Nestle the chicken pieces into the rice.
5. Sprinkle the garlic, cumin, paprika, oregano, saffron (or turmeric), salt, and pepper over everything.
6. Pour in the chicken broth, followed by the tomato sauce, ensuring the rice is well submerged.
7. Cook on LOW for 5-6 hours or HIGH for 2.5-3 hours. Check halfway through to ensure there's adequate moisture. Add a little more broth or water if it seems too dry.
8. Approximately 20 minutes before the end of cooking time, scatter the frozen peas (and olives if using) over the top.
9. Once cooking completes, gently mix to integrate the peas and olives throughout the dish. Adjust seasonings if necessary.
10. Serve hot with desired garnishes.
## Tips:
- **Type of Chicken**: Chicken thighs may yield juicier results than breasts in a slow cooker.
- **Rice**: Rinsing rice helps achieve a fluffier texture.
- **Saffron vs. Turmeric**: Saffron offers a unique flavor and color, but turmeric can be used as a cost-effective alternative for color.
- **Serving**: Traditional garnishes might include roasted red pepper strips or additional olives. A side of fried plantains or a simple salad can complement the dish.
- **Storage**: Leftovers can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
**Enjoy your warm and comforting Arroz con Pollo straight from the slow cooker!**
