This salsa verde braised pork is a Southwestern-inspired way to prepare Boston butt. Braising the pork—simmering it for a long time in liquid under cover, with browning for flavor—makes it fork-tender.

Ingredients

3 1/2 pounds bone-in pork shoulder (aka pork butt) 1 bottle (15 oz.) salsa verde 1 medium onion, finely chopped 3 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth 2 teaspoons cumin seeds 2 teaspoons coriander seeds 1 teaspoon dried oregano 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro, plus some leaves Salt

Instructions

Trim excess pork fat. Put meat in a large casserole or Dutch oven with salsa, onion, broth, cumin seeds, coriander seeds, and oregano. Bring to a boil over high heat; reduce heat, cover, and simmer until meat is very tender when pierced, about 3 hours. Preheat oven to 375 °. With 2 wide spatulas, transfer meat to a rimmed baking pan. Bake until richly browned, 30 minutes. Meanwhile, skim and discard fat from pan juices. Boil juices, stirring, until reduced to 2 3/4 cups, 8 to 10 minutes. With 2 forks, tear meat into large shreds. Add to pan and stir in chopped cilantro. Season with salt. Spoon into a serving bowl and sprinkle with cilantro leaves. Serve with tortillas and more salsa verde. Note: Nutrition analysis is per serving. Slow-cooker Salsa Verde Pork: Put trimmed pork in a slow cooker (5 to 6 qt.) and turn heat to high. In a pan, bring salsa, onion, broth, cumin seeds, coriander seeds, and oregano to a boil. Pour over pork, cover, and cook until meat is very tender when pierced and registers at least 165 ° on an instant-read thermometer, at least 7 or up to 9 hours. Continue recipe with step 2, using a large pot for step 3.
