Main Ingredients

2 lbs Pork Shoulder

2 cups Green Chile Sauce

1 large Onion

4 cloves Garlic

2 tsp Cumin

1 tsp Celtic sea salt

1 tsp black pepper

2 tbs olive oil

Optional Toppings

1/2 cups Chopped Fresh Cilantro

1/2 cups Sour cream

1 cups Shredded cheese

Method

Preparation

Prepare the Pork

Trim any excess fat from the pork shoulder and cut it into large chunks. Season with salt, black pepper, and cumin.

Chop Vegetables

Dice the onion and mince the garlic cloves.

Cooking

Sear the Pork

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned pork chunks and sear on all sides until browned, approximately 5-7 minutes.

Sauté Onions and Garlic

Remove the pork from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Combine Ingredients

Return the seared pork to the skillet. Pour the green chile sauce over the pork and stir to combine. Bring to a simmer.

Slow Cook

Cover the skillet and reduce heat to low. Let it cook for 2-3 hours, or until the pork is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.

Serving

Shred the Pork

Once cooked, use two forks to shred the pork in the skillet, mixing it with the sauce.

Garnish and Serve

Serve the green chile pork hot, garnished with chopped cilantro, a dollop of sour cream, and a sprinkle of shredded cheese. Pair with your choice of sides.
