Ingredients

• 2 pounds pork shoulder
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large yellow onion
• 4 cloves garlic cloves
• 3 medium roma tomatoes
• 1 large red bell pepper
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 4 cups chicken broth
• 3 medium golden potatoes
• 1 large zucchini
• 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
• 1 medium lime

Directions

Step 1

Cut the pork shoulder into 1-inch cubes. Season with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Set aside.

Step 2

Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and brown the pork in batches, ensuring that each piece is seared on all sides. Remove the pork and set aside.

Step 3

Dice the onion and mince the garlic. In the same pot, reduce the heat to medium and sauté the onion until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, stirring frequently.

Step 4

Dice the roma tomatoes and red bell pepper, then add them to the pot. Cook for 8 minutes until the vegetables start to break down.

Step 5

Add the cumin, paprika, oregano, and the remaining 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper to the pot. Stir to coat the vegetables in the spices.

Step 6

Return the pork to the pot and pour in the chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover. Simmer for 40 minutes to tenderize the meat.

Step 7

While the stew simmers, peel and cube the golden potatoes into 1-inch pieces. Slice the zucchini into half-moons. After the pork has simmered for 40 minutes, add the potatoes to the pot and simmer for another 20 minutes.

Step 8

Add the zucchini to the pot and cook for a final 10-15 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.

Step 9

Taste the stew and adjust seasoning as needed. Stir in chopped fresh cilantro and squeeze in the juice of 1 lime just before serving.

Step 10

Serve Guisado De Consuelo hot with warm tortillas or crusty bread on the side.
