Ingredients

• 2 pounds pork shoulder (boneless)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 piece white onion (medium, diced)
• 4 pieces garlic cloves (minced)
• 6 pieces tomatillos (husked and quartered)
• 2 pieces poblano peppers (roasted, peeled, and chopped)
• 2 pieces jalapeño peppers (seeded and diced)
• 0.5 cup fresh cilantro (chopped)
• 4 cups chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 piece lime (juiced)

Directions

Step 1

Trim any excess fat from the pork shoulder and cut it into 1-inch cubes. Season the pork with salt and black pepper.

Step 2

Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the pork in batches until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes per batch. Remove the pork and set it aside.

Step 3

Lower the heat to medium and add the diced onion to the pot. Sauté for 5 minutes until softened, then add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the tomatillos, roasted poblano peppers, jalapeño peppers, cilantro, chicken broth, cumin, and oregano to the pot. Stir to combine.

Step 5

Return the browned pork to the pot. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover. Simmer for 75-90 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pork is tender and the flavors are well blended.

Step 6

Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed. Stir in the lime juice just before serving for a bright and fresh finish.

Step 7

Serve hot with rice, warm tortillas, or as a standalone stew. Garnish with additional cilantro if desired.
