Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Pork shoulder, diced into 1-inch cubes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 large Yellow onion, chopped
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 4 cups Chicken broth
- 2 cups Roasted green chilies, chopped
- 5 medium Tomatillos, husked and diced
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Cilantro, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- Tortillas or rice (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Heat a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Season the pork shoulder cubes with salt and black pepper, then sear them in batches until browned on all sides. Remove the pork and set it aside.
In the same pot, add the chopped onion and sauté for 4-5 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute.
Return the seared pork to the pot, then pour in the chicken broth. Stir to deglaze the pot, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
Add the roasted green chilies, diced tomatillos, ground cumin, dried oregano, and salt. Stir well and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer gently for 60-75 minutes, or until the pork is tender and the flavors have melded together.
Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. Stir in the chopped cilantro and lime juice just before serving.
Serve hot with warm tortillas or spooned over cooked rice. Enjoy!
