    • 1 tablespoon ground black pepper
    • 1 teaspoon salt (Optional)
    • ½ teaspoon ground cumin

  • Protein

    • 1 (3 pound) boneless pork shoulder roast, trimmed and cut into 1-inch cubes

  • Vegetables

    • 🧅 1 large onion, chopped
    • 2 cups chopped fresh tomatillos
    • 1 (7 ounce) can diced green chiles, drained
    • ½ cup chopped fresh cilantro
    • 6 sprigs cilantro, for garnish
    • 🧄 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • Spices & Herbs

    • 2 teaspoons dried marjoram

  • Liquids

STEPS

1

Combine flour, pepper, 1 teaspoon salt, and cumin in a large bowl. Dredge pork in flour mixture until well coated.

2

Heat olive oil in a large, heavy pan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Add pork in batches in a single layer, browning on all sides for approximately 15 minutes. Transfer pork to a bowl and cover to keep warm.

3

Add chopped onion to the pan and stir over medium heat. Add more olive oil if necessary. Cook until translucent and starting to brown, about 7 minutes.

4

Return pork to the pan; stir in tomatillos, water, canned chiles, 1/2 cup chopped cilantro, garlic, and marjoram. Check seasoning and add a pinch of salt if needed. Cover and simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally, for about 1 hour or until pork is tender.

5

Degrease stew before serving. Serve in bowls and garnish with sour cream and cilantro sprigs.
