Ingredients

• 2 pounds pork shoulder
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large yellow onion
• 4 garlic cloves
• 1 pound tomatillos
• 2 medium jalapeño peppers
• 1 large poblano pepper
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 2 teaspoons cumin
• 1 teaspoon oregano
• 0.5 cup cilantro
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Cut the pork shoulder into 1-inch cubes and season with salt and black pepper.

Step 2

In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the pork cubes in batches until browned on all sides, then remove and set aside.

Step 3

Dice the yellow onion and dice the garlic cloves.

Step 4

Add the diced onion to the pot, sautéing until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for an additional minute.

Step 5

Husk and rinse the tomatillos, then roughly chop them. Dice the jalapeño and poblano peppers, removing seeds for a milder chili.

Step 6

Return the pork to the pot, and add the tomatillos, jalapeños, poblano, and chicken broth. Stir in lime juice, cumin, and oregano.

Step 7

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover. Let simmer for about 1.5 hours or until the pork is tender and the liquid has reduced.

Step 8

Stir in chopped cilantro, adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper to taste, and serve hot.
