Description

This hearty pork and tomatillo stew is a flavorful and comforting dish, perfect for a chilly evening. I've been making this recipe for years, and it's always a hit! The combination of tender pork, tangy tomatillos, and a hint of spice creates a truly delicious experience. It's a great way to use up fresh tomatillos in the fall. The stew is also ideal for meal prepping, as it tastes even better the next day. Serve with a dollop of sour cream and pickled red onions for an extra touch of flavor. This stew is sure to warm you up from the inside out!

Ingredients (20 ingredients)

  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 2 pounds boneless pork shoulder, cut into 2-inch pieces
  • 1 piece yellow onion, diced
  • 2 tsp kosher salt, or to taste, divided
  • 2 tsp dried oregano
  • 2 tsp ground cumin
  • 0.5 tsp ground coriander
  • 0.25 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 10 piece fresh tomatillos, removed from husks and rinsed
  • 3 piece jalapeño chile peppers, seeded
  • 1 piece poblano chile pepper, seeded
  • 6 clove peeled garlic
  • 0.5 cup packed cilantro leaves
  • 2.5 cups chicken stock, or as needed
  • 1 piece bay leaf
  • 1.5 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, quartered
  • freshly ground black pepper
  • 0.25 cup sour cream
  • 0.5 cup pickled red onions (Optional)
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro

Preparation (6 steps)

1

Sear the Pork

Heat vegetable oil in a pot over high heat until nearly smoking. Add pork cubes in a single layer. Let sear until brown on one side, 4 to 5 minutes. Mix, turning pieces over to brown on the other side, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove the pork from the pot and set aside.

2

Sauté Onion

Add diced yellow onion and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt to the pot. Cook and stir until onion is translucent, about 4 minutes. Add dried oregano, ground cumin, ground coriander, and cayenne pepper; cook and stir until seasonings are fragrant, about 2 minutes. Reduce the heat to low.

3

Prepare Tomatillo Sauce

Cut tomatillos into quarters. Place into a blender with seeded jalapeño chile peppers, seeded poblano chile pepper, peeled garlic, and packed cilantro leaves. Add chicken stock. Pulse on and off until pieces start to break down, then blend until mixture has liquefied, about 30 seconds.

4

Combine and Simmer

Return the seared pork to the pot. Stir the tomatillo sauce into pork mixture. Add 1 teaspoon kosher salt and bay leaf. Increase the heat to high and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and maintain a slow but steady simmer for about 1 hour.

5

Add Potatoes and Finish Simmering

Add quartered Yukon Gold potatoes, remaining 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper. If the mixture has reduced to where potatoes are not immersed, add more broth to cover. Simmer until pork and potatoes are tender, 45 minutes to 1 hour.

6

Serve

Garnish individual servings with a dollop of sour cream, some pickled red onions, and chopped fresh cilantro.
