Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 pounds pork shoulder, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 (4 oz) can diced green chiles
  • 1 pound roasted Hatch or Anaheim green chilies, peeled, seeded, and chopped
  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons flour (optional, for thickening)
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
  2. Add pork cubes in batches and brown on all sides. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same pot, add chopped onions and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.
  4. Add garlic, cumin, oregano, chili powder, salt, and pepper, cooking for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  5. Return the pork to the pot along with canned and roasted green chilies.
  6. Pour in chicken broth and bring the mixture to a boil.
  7. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the pork is tender.
  8. For a thicker chili, mix flour with a bit of water to make a slurry and stir into the pot during the last 15 minutes of cooking.
  9. Stir in chopped cilantro before serving, if desired.

Notes

  • Serve with warm tortillas, rice, or over burritos.
  • Can be made ahead and tastes better the next day.
  • Adjust spice level with more or fewer green chilies.
