Ingredients

• 2 pounds pork shoulder (cut into 1-inch cubes)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large yellow onion (diced)
• 4 cloves garlic cloves (minced)
• 1 cup roasted green chilies (peeled and chopped)
• 3 medium Russet potatoes (peeled and diced)
• 4 cups chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1 teaspoon oregano (dried)
• 1.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 cup fresh cilantro (chopped, for garnish)
• 2 each lime wedges (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Season the pork cubes with 1 teaspoon of salt and pepper, then brown the pork in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Remove the browned pork and set aside.

Step 3

In the same pot, reduce the heat to medium and add the diced onion. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Stir in the roasted green chilies and the cumin and oregano. Cook for 1-2 minutes to toast the spices.

Step 6

Return the browned pork to the pot along with any accumulated juices.

Step 7

Add the diced potatoes and chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer uncovered for 40-50 minutes, or until the pork is tender and the potatoes are soft.

Step 8

Taste the stew and adjust seasonings as needed, adding the remaining 0.5 teaspoon of salt if necessary.

Step 9

Ladle the stew into bowls and garnish with chopped cilantro. Serve hot with lime wedges on the side for added brightness.
