Printer Friendly Version
Ingredients:
8 c. cubed pork
2 T. peanut oil
2 T. kosher salt
2 T. fresh ground pepper
¼ t. comino
*2/3 c. beer
1 medium red onion (or sweet onion) chopped
5-6 cloves garlic, minced
3 c. cubed tomatillos
1-2 jalapenos, minced (to taste)
2 T. fresh cilantro, minced
Mix salt, pepper and comino together. Brown pork in 1 T. oil, in a cast iron
or heavy dutch oven on high heat. Cook small batches, all meat cubes should
be able to touch the bottom of the pan. Sprinkle with seasoning mix as you
brown (add the seasoning to your taste, you will not necessarily use all of
it), scrapping up browned bits, set browned meat aside until all meat is
cooked. When last batch is done, add 1/3 c. beer and the rest of the meat.
Bring to a simmer, reduce heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes. If the
liquid evaporates, *add more beer as needed.
Meanwhile, in a frying pan with a heavy bottom, add 1 T. oil and heat to
medium high. Add onion, garlic, tomatillos and jalapenos. Saute until
vegetables are wilted, add 2 T. cilantro and turn off heat. When meat has
simmered, add vegetables, stir and simmer an additional 30 minutes or until
meat is tender. Remove lid, simmer on medium heat until liquid has
evaporated and is slightly thickened. Serve with cold beer, warm corn
tortillas and sliced jicama, pineapple and orange.
