Ingredients

• 2 pounds Pork shoulder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 Yellow onion, diced
• 4 Garlic cloves, minced
• 4 cups Chicken broth
• 2 Russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
• 1.5 cups Roasted green chiles, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 14-ounce can Canned diced tomatoes
• 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 tablespoon Lime juice

Directions

Step 1

Cut the pork shoulder into bite-sized cubes and season with salt and black pepper.

Step 2

Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the pork in batches, searing until browned on all sides. Remove the pork and set aside.

Step 3

In the same pot, reduce the heat to medium. Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 4

Return the pork to the pot and pour in the chicken broth. Add the cubed potatoes, roasted green chiles, ground cumin, dried oregano, and canned diced tomatoes. Stir to combine.

Step 5

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

Step 6

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

Step 7

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

Step 8

Ladle the stew into bowls and serve hot, optionally garnished with more cilantro and a wedge of lime.
