Ingredients

2 lbs pork shoulder, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups tomatillos, husked and rinsed
2-3 green chilies (jalapeños or poblano), seeds removed, chopped
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano
Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup chicken broth
Fresh cilantro, for garnish

Instructions

In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the pork cubes and brown them on all sides. This step is crucial for flavor!
Remove the pork and set it aside. In the same pot, add the chopped onion and cook until translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Add the tomatillos and green chilies, cooking until they begin to soften, about 5 minutes.
Return the browned pork to the pot, then add the cumin, oregano, salt, pepper, and chicken broth.
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover. Let it simmer for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the pork is tender.
If you prefer a thicker sauce, uncover the pot in the last 30 minutes of cooking.
Once ready, serve the Chili Verde hot, garnished with fresh cilantro.
