Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Meat

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

  2. 2

    Chop the Vegetables

    Dice the onion, chop the garlic, and finely chop the bell peppers, tomatoes, and jalapeños.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sear the Meat

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the pork cubes and sear until browned on all sides, about 8-10 minutes. Remove and set aside.

  2. 4

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In the same pot, add the onions and garlic. Sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Then add the bell peppers and jalapeños, cooking for another 3-4 minutes.

  3. 5

    Add Tomatoes and Spices

    Stir in the chopped tomatoes, chili powder, cumin, and smoked paprika. Cook for 5 minutes until the tomatoes break down slightly.

  4. 6

    Combine with Broth

    Return the seared pork to the pot and pour in the chicken broth. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low.

  5. 7

    Simmer

    Cover and let simmer for about 1.5 to 2 hours, stirring occasionally, until the pork is tender and the flavors meld.

Serving

  1. 8

    Garnish and Serve

    Ladle the pork chile into bowls, garnish with fresh cilantro, and serve with lime wedges on the side.
