Ingredients
-
1 ½ pounds fresh tomatillos, or more to taste, husks removed
-
3 serrano peppers
-
4 cloves garlic, peeled
-
1 tablespoon olive oil
-
3 tablespoons lard or vegetable oil
-
3 pounds pork shoulder, or more to taste, trimmed and cut into 1 ½-inch cubes
-
2 teaspoons garlic salt
-
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
-
1 medium yellow onion, coarsely chopped
-
1 green bell pepper, coarsely chopped
-
½ cup red wine
-
1 cup low-sodium chicken stock
-
⅓ cup chopped fresh cilantro
-
1 teaspoon dried oregano
-
1 teaspoon ground cumin
-
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
-
Combine tomatillos, serrano peppers, and garlic in a bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat. Transfer to a baking sheet.
-
Place in the preheated oven and roast until tender, about 30 minutes. Remove vegetables from oven, cool slightly, and transfer to the bowl of a food processor. Puree until smooth. Reduce oven temperature to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C).
-
While vegetables are roasting, heat lard in a Dutch oven or heavy oven-safe pot over medium-high heat. Sprinkle pork with garlic salt and pepper and add to the pot in batches. Cook each batch until browned, about 7 minutes, removing to a plate with a slotted spoon. Drain and discard all but 2 tablespoons pan drippings.
-
Add onion and bell pepper to the pot. Sauté, stirring occasionally, until onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Pour wine into the pan and bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Stir in browned pork, tomatillo puree, chicken stock, cilantro, oregano, cumin, and salt.
-
Cover and cook in the oven until pork is tender, 3 ½ to 4 hours. Allow to stand for 15 minutes, covered, before serving.
Cook’s Note
White wine or additional chicken stock can be used in place of red wine, if preferred.
