Equipment
Method
- Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
- Add the diced pork shoulder and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the pork and set aside.
- In the same pot, add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
- Return the browned pork to the pot and stir in the chopped Hatch green chiles, diced potatoes, chicken broth, ground cumin, and dried oregano.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Bring the stew to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover and let cook for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the pork is tender and the potatoes are fully cooked.
- Taste and adjust seasoning as needed before serving.
- Serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh cilantro if desired.
Notes
For extra flavor, use bone-in pork shoulder and remove the bones before serving. Adjust the spice level by adding more or fewer Hatch green chiles.
