Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs pork shoulder, diced
- 4 medium green chiles, roasted and diced
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tsp ground cumin
- 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- Salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Dice the onion and mince the garlic. If using fresh green chiles, roast them over an open flame until charred; peel off the skin and dice.
- Sear the Pork: In a large pot over medium-high heat, add a splash of oil. Once hot, add diced pork shoulder and season with salt and pepper. Sear until browned on all sides.
- Add Aromatics: Toss in the diced onion and minced garlic into the pot. Sauté for about five minutes until they become translucent and fragrant.
- Stir in Spices: Add cumin and diced green chiles to the pot. Stir well to coat everything in spices and let it cook for another minute.
- Pour in Broth: Carefully pour in chicken broth while scraping up any brown bits stuck to the bottom of the pot. Bring everything to a gentle simmer.
- Let It Simmer: Cover your pot and let it simmer for about one hour on low heat until the pork is fork-tender. Stir occasionally as you enjoy the aroma filling your kitchen.
- Serve: Transfer to bowls immediately after cooking; garnish with toppings like cilantro or sour cream if desired.
