Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds pork shoulder (boneless, trimmed and cubed)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large yellow onion (diced)
- 4 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1.5 cups roasted green chiles (peeled and chopped)
- 3 medium potatoes (peeled and diced)
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes (with juices)
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Season the cubed pork shoulder with a pinch of salt and pepper, then add it to the pot. Sear the pork until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the pork and set it aside.
In the same pot, add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Return the browned pork to the pot, then add the roasted green chiles, diced potatoes, chicken broth, diced tomatoes (with juices), ground cumin, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Stir the ingredients together, then bring the stew to a boil over medium-high heat.
Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let the stew simmer gently for 1 hour, stirring occasionally, until the pork is tender, and the potatoes are fully cooked.
Taste the stew and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
Serve the green chile stew hot in bowls, garnished with fresh chopped cilantro.
