Ingredients

• 2 pounds boneless pork shoulder (cut into 1-inch cubes)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onion (diced)
• 4 None garlic cloves (minced)
• 1.5 cups green chiles (roasted, peeled, and diced or canned)
• 1 None 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 None lime wedges (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Reduce heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic, jalapeño, cumin, and oregano. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until fragrant.

Step 5

Return the pork to the pot. Add the diced green chiles, chicken broth, and potatoes. Stir to combine.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Season the stew with additional salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 8

Serve the stew hot, garnished with chopped cilantro and lime wedges on the side.
