First things first, let’s gather our ingredients:

  • 4 lbs pork shoulder, cubed
  • 2 lbs Anaheim peppers, roasted and peeled
  • 1 lb hatch green chilies, roasted and peeled
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp cumin
  • 1 tbsp oregano
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup chopped cilantro
  • 1/2 cup diced tomatoes (optional)

Now that we have everything we need, let’s get cooking!

Step 1: In a large pot, combine the cubed pork, diced onion, and minced garlic. Cook over medium heat until the pork is nicely browned on all sides.

Step 2: Add the roasted and peeled Anaheim peppers, hatch green chilies, cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper to the pot. Stir everything together until well combined.
