Lunch: Pork and Green Chile Stew

Mix it up for dinner tonight with Pork and Green Chile Stew. Great with beans and rice

Ingredients

2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cumin
5 lb boneless pork shoulder, excess fat trimmed, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
1 1/2 cups onions, chopped
1 cup poblano pepper, chopped
1 tablespoon jalapeño pepper, minced
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 cups chicken broth
1 (16 oz) jar tomatillo salsa
1 (15.5 oz) jar hominy, drained and rinsed
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 325 °F.
In a large oven-safe Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the salt and cumin over the pork. Working in batches, add the pork to the pan and brown on all sides, about 5 minutes per batch. Remove and set aside.
In the same pot, add the onions, poblano pepper, jalapeno and garlic, and cook until the onion softens, about 5 minutes. Stir in the chicken broth, salsa, hominy and pork. Cover and bake until the pork is tender, about 1 hour and 20 minutes. Skim any fat from the top. Stir in the cilantro and serve.
