Ingredients
Scale
2 lbs of pork shoulder
2 tablespoons of olive oil
1 large onion (diced)
4 cloves of garlic (minced)
4 cups of green chiles (fresh or canned)
1 tablespoon ground cumin
2 cups of chicken broth
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh cilantro (for garnish)
Instructions
Prepare the Pork: Begin by trimming any excess fat from the pork shoulder and cutting it into 1-inch cubes.
Brown the Meat: In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the pork cubes in batches, searing until browned on all sides. Remove and set aside.
Sauté Aromatics: In the same pot, add the diced onions and garlic. Sauté until the onions are translucent and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
Add Spices: Stir in the ground cumin, salt, and pepper, allowing the spices to cook for another minute.
Combine Ingredients: Return the browned pork to the pot, then add the green chiles and chicken broth. Stir to combine.
Simmer: Bring the chili to a gentle simmer, cover, and reduce the heat to low. Allow it to simmer for at least 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the pork is tender and shreds easily with a fork.
Final Touches: Taste the chili and adjust the seasoning if necessary. If you’d like it spicier, now’s the time to add those optional ingredients!
Serve: Ladle the chili into bowls and garnish with fresh cilantro and a dollop of sour cream. Don’t forget lime wedges for squeezing!
