Ingredients

• 3 pounds boneless pork shoulder
• 8 large tomatillos, husked and rinsed
• 2 poblano peppers
• 2 jalapeño peppers
• 1 large yellow onion
• 4 garlic cloves
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon oregano
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 0.5 cup cilantro, chopped
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Cut the boneless pork shoulder into 2-inch cubes and season with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the pork cubes in batches until browned on all sides. Transfer the browned pork to the crock pot.

Step 3

Roast the tomatillos, poblano peppers, and jalapeño peppers on a baking sheet under the broiler for 4-5 minutes, turning occasionally, until charred and softened. Allow them to cool slightly, then peel and discard the skins and remove the seeds from the peppers if desired.

Step 4

Add the roasted tomatillos, poblano peppers, and jalapeños to a blender along with the garlic cloves, chicken broth, ground cumin, oregano, and the remaining teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Blend until smooth.

Step 5

Chop the yellow onion and add it to the crock pot with the seared pork.

Step 6

Pour the blended tomatillo mixture over the pork and onions in the crock pot, ensuring everything is well coated.

Step 7

Cover and cook on low heat for 6 hours (or on high heat for 4 hours), until the pork is tender and shreds easily with a fork.

Step 8

Stir in the lime juice and chopped cilantro just before serving.

Step 9

Serve hot over rice, in tortillas, or with tortilla chips, and garnish with additional cilantro if desired.
