Green Chile Pork Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Pork

   Cut the pork shoulder into large chunks. Season generously with salt and black pepper.

2. 2

   Sear the Pork

   In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned pork chunks and sear until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the pork and set aside.

3. 3

   Sauté Aromatics

   In the same pot, add the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

4. 4

   Deglaze the Pot

   Pour in the chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the pot to release any browned bits.

5. 5

   Add Seasoning and Pork

   Return the seared pork to the pot. Add the chopped roasted green chiles and cumin. Stir to combine.

6. 6

   Braise the Pork

   Bring the mixture to a simmer, cover the pot, and reduce the heat to low. Let it braise for 2 hours, or until the pork is tender and easily shreds with a fork.

7. 7

   Prepare for Serving

   Once cooked, shred the pork using two forks. Stir in the sliced roasted red peppers.

8. 8

   Add Cheese

   Sprinkle the shredded asadero cheese over the top of the pork and cover the pot to let it melt for about 5 minutes.

9. 9

   Serve

   Spoon the green chile pork into bowls and serve hot. Enjoy!
