Time 1h50m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 ½ pounds pork tenderloin, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
½ cup all-purpose flour, or as needed
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
¾ pound fresh tomatillos, husks removed and halved
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 medium onion, chopped
2 cups chicken broth
½ tablespoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon chopped fresh oregano
1 bay leaf
½ pound serrano chile peppers, seeded and chopped
½ pound green chile peppers, seeded and chopped
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped
⅛ cup chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
  • Dust pork cubes in flour and season with salt and pepper.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown pork in the hot oil, about 5 minutes. Set aside. Place tomatillos and garlic cloves into a baking pan.
  • Broil tomatillos and garlic in the preheated oven for 7 minutes. Turn off the broiler and let rest in the oven for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool enough to handle, about 10 minutes. Mince roasted garlic.
  • Heat remaining tablespoon oil in a pot over medium-high heat. Saute onion in the hot oil until softened, about 5 minutes. Add browned pork, chicken broth, minced garlic, cumin, oregano, and bay leaf; reduce heat to low and let simmer.
  • Mix roasted tomatillos, serrano peppers, green chile peppers, and jalapeno pepper together in a bowl. Add to the pot. Continue to simmer over low heat until pork is tender and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of a cube reads at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C), about 20 minutes. Stir in cilantro and remove bay leaf before serving.

This stew was a bit too spicy for me, but I still enjoyed it. I would recommend using less chili peppers next time.

The tomatillos gave the stew a nice tangy flavor. I also added some chopped cilantro and avocado to the top, which really took it up a notch.
