GREEN CHILE ADOBADO POUTINE

Green Chile Adobado Poutine image

This Canadian comfort-food classic is even better when served southwestern-style as either an appetizer or an entree. Although these ribs are done without fuss in a slow cooker, you can also bake them at 325°, covered with foil, for about 45 minutes. Then uncover and bake for another 20 minutes. -Johnna Johnson, Scottsdale, Arizona
