Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Meat

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

  2. 2

    Chop the Vegetables

    Dice the onion, mince the garlic, and chop the green bell pepper and jalapeño. Remove the husks from the tomatillos and chop them coarsely.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Cilantro

    Rinse and chop the cilantro, setting aside for garnish.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Sear the Pork

    In a large pot, heat some oil over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned pork cubes and sear on all sides until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 5

    Sauté the Vegetables

    Remove the pork from the pot and set aside. In the same pot, add the onion, garlic, green bell pepper, and jalapeño. Sauté for about 5 minutes until softened.

  3. 6

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the chopped tomatillos, cumin, oregano, and the seared pork back into the pot. Mix well.

  4. 7

    Add Liquids

    Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to low and let simmer for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the pork is tender.

  5. 8

    Finish with Lime and Cilantro

    Once the pork is tender, stir in the lime juice and half of the chopped cilantro. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
