Ingredients

• 2 pounds pork shoulder (trimmed and cut into 1-inch cubes)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 yellow onion (diced)
• 4 garlic cloves (minced)
• 8 ounces roasted New Mexico green chiles (peeled, seeded, and chopped)
• 3 Russet potatoes (peeled and diced)
• 2 Roma tomatoes (diced)
• 4 cups chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt (or to taste)
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper (or to taste)
• 0.25 cup fresh cilantro (chopped, for garnish)
• 4 lime wedges (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

Add the pork shoulder cubes in batches to avoid overcrowding and brown on all sides, about 6-8 minutes per batch. Remove browned pork and set aside.

Step 3

In the same pot, add the diced yellow onion. Sauté for 5 minutes or until softened and translucent.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Return the browned pork to the pot. Add the roasted New Mexico green chiles, diced potatoes, diced tomatoes, chicken broth, ground cumin, dried oregano, kosher salt, and black pepper.

Step 6

Stir everything together and bring the mixture to a boil.

Step 7

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let the stew simmer for 60-75 minutes, or until the pork is tender and the potatoes are cooked through.

Step 8

Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.

Step 9

Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice from the wedges. Pair with warm tortillas or crusty bread for a complete meal.
