Ingredients

• 2 pounds pork shoulder (cubed)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large yellow onion (diced)
• 4 cloves garlic (minced)
• 2 cups roasted green chiles (peeled and chopped, mild or hot to taste)
• 3 medium Russet potatoes (peeled and diced)
• 6 cups chicken broth
• 1 14-ounce can diced tomatoes (with juice)
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 cup fresh cilantro (chopped, for garnish)
• 4 pieces lime wedges (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Season the cubed pork shoulder with a pinch of salt and pepper, then sear in the hot oil until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Work in batches if necessary. Remove and set aside.

Step 3

Reduce the heat to medium and add the diced onion to the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, until fragrant.

Step 5

Return the browned pork to the pot and add the roasted green chiles, diced potatoes, chicken broth, diced tomatoes (with their juice), cumin, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.

Step 6

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer, uncovered, for 60-75 minutes, or until the pork is tender and the potatoes are cooked through.

Step 7

Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Add more salt or pepper to taste.

Step 8

Ladle the stew into bowls and garnish with fresh cilantro. Serve with lime wedges on the side for a tangy finish.
