Ingredients
- 2 pounds boneless pork shoulder
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup roasted green chilies, chopped
- 1 jalapeño, diced
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 15-ounce can diced tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions
Trim excess fat from the pork shoulder and cut it into bite-sized cubes.
Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Working in batches, sear the pork cubes on all sides until browned. Remove the pork from the pot and set aside.
Add the diced onion to the pot and sauté for 5 minutes until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic, roasted green chilies, and diced jalapeño. Cook for 2 minutes until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth and diced tomatoes, stirring to combine.
Add the seared pork back to the pot, along with the cumin, oregano, coriander, salt, and pepper.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover and cook for 60 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the diced potatoes to the pot and cook for an additional 30 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
Serve the stew hot, garnished with chopped cilantro and lime wedges, if desired.
