Ingredients
  

Pork and Vegetables
  • 2 pounds pork shoulder cubed
  • 0.5 medium onion diced
  • 1 cup green chiles diced
Cooking Essentials
  • 5 tablespoons olive oil divided
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1.5 teaspoons cumin
  • 1.5 teaspoons dried Mexican oregano
  • 1 teaspoon white pepper
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups water
Serving Suggestions

Equipment

  • Dutch oven

Method
 

Cooking Steps
  1. Heat a Dutch oven or heavy-bottom pot over medium-high heat. Once hot, add 1 1/2 tablespoons of olive oil and half the pork. Brown the pork on all sides for about 7-9 minutes, then transfer to a plate. Repeat with the remaining pork using another 1 1/2 tablespoons of oil.
  2. Reduce heat to medium and add 2 tablespoons of oil. Add the onion, salt, cumin, oregano, and white pepper. Sauté until fragrant for about 1-2 minutes. Add the flour and stir until it starts to turn brown, about 1-2 minutes. Finally, add the green chiles, water, and pork. Stir well to combine. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover, and let simmer for 1 hour or until the pork is fork-tender.
  3. Serve with tortillas and cilantro.
