Main Ingredients

Optional Toppings

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pork

    Trim any excess fat from the pork shoulder and cut it into large chunks. Season with salt, black pepper, and cumin.

  2. 2

    Chop Vegetables

    Dice the onion and mince the garlic cloves.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sear the Pork

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned pork chunks and sear on all sides until browned, approximately 5-7 minutes.

  2. 4

    Sauté Onions and Garlic

    Remove the pork from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

  3. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    Return the seared pork to the skillet. Pour the green chile sauce over the pork and stir to combine. Bring to a simmer.

  4. 6

    Slow Cook

    Cover the skillet and reduce heat to low. Let it cook for 2-3 hours, or until the pork is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.

Serving

  1. 7

    Shred the Pork

    Once cooked, use two forks to shred the pork in the skillet, mixing it with the sauce.

  2. 8

    Garnish and Serve

    Serve the green chile pork hot, garnished with chopped cilantro, a dollop of sour cream, and a sprinkle of shredded cheese. Pair with your choice of sides.
