INGREDIENTS
Vegetables
- 1 ½ pounds fresh tomatillos, husks removed
- 4 cloves garlic, peeled
- 🧅 1 medium yellow onion, coarsely chopped
- 1 green bell pepper, coarsely chopped
- ⅓ cup chopped fresh cilantro
Proteins
- 3 pounds pork shoulder, trimmed and cut into 1 ½-inch cubes
Oils and Fats
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 tablespoons lard or vegetable oil
Spices and Seasonings
- 🧂 2 teaspoons garlic salt
- 🧂 ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 🧂 1 teaspoon kosher salt
Liquids
- ½ cup red wine
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken stock
STEPS
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).
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.
