Ingredients

Scale

2 lbs pork shoulder, cut into 1-inch cubes
2 cups green chiles (fresh or canned), chopped
6 cloves garlic, minced
1 medium yellow onion, diced
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
2 tsp cumin
1 tsp dried oregano
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

Prepare your ingredients: Dice the onion and mince the garlic. If using fresh chiles, chop them into small pieces.
Sear the pork: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add pork and sear until browned on all sides (about 5-7 minutes).
Add aromatics: Remove seared pork from the pot. In the same pot, sauté onions until translucent (about 5 minutes), then add garlic.
Build flavor: Return pork to the pot and pour in chicken broth. Add cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil.
Simmer: Reduce heat to low, cover, and let simmer for at least 2 hours until the pork is fork-tender.
Final touches: Shred or chop pork and stir in green chiles and cilantro before serving.
