Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds boneless pork shoulder (cut into 1-inch cubes)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion (diced)
- 4 garlic cloves (minced)
- 1.5 cups green chiles (roasted, peeled, and diced or canned)
- 1 jalapeño (seeded and diced)
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 2 large potatoes (peeled and diced)
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup cilantro (chopped, for garnish)
- 4 lime wedges (for serving)
Instructions
Heat a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Season the pork cubes with a pinch of salt and pepper. Working in batches to avoid overcrowding, sear the pork cubes in the pot until browned on all sides. Remove pork and set aside.
Reduce heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic, jalapeño, cumin, and oregano. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
Return the pork to the pot. Add the diced green chiles, chicken broth, and potatoes. Stir to combine.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Cover and cook for 60-75 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pork is tender and the potatoes are cooked through.
Season the stew with additional salt and black pepper to taste.
Serve the stew hot, garnished with chopped cilantro and lime wedges on the side.
