Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds pork shoulder, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups green chiles, roasted and peeled
  • 4 cups chicken broth

  • 1 tablespoon lime juice

Instructions

  1. Trim excess fat from the pork shoulder and cut it into 1-inch cubes.
  2. In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
  3. Sear the pork cubes in batches until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes per batch. Remove and set aside.

  5. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, stirring frequently.
  6. Return the browned pork to the pot.
  7. Add roasted green chiles (drained if canned), chicken broth, diced potatoes, ground cumin, dried oregano, smoked paprika, and season with salt and pepper. Stir to combine.
  8. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover.
  9. Let it simmer for 1.5 to 2 hours, stirring occasionally, until the pork is fork-tender.
  10. Stir in lime juice and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
  11. For extra heat, add more green chiles or hot sauce.
  12. Ladle the stew into bowls, garnish with chopped cilantro, and serve with avocado slices and warm tortillas if desired.

Notes

  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months. Reheat on the stove over low heat, adding a splash of water or broth if necessary.
  • Adjust the spice level by varying the amount of green chiles used.
