Ingredients
- 4 pounds (1.9kg) boneless pork shoulder, cut into 2-inch chunks
- 3/4 pound tomatillos (about 4 tomatillos; 350g), quartered, husks discarded
- 2/3 pound Poblano peppers (about 2 peppers; 300g), roughly chopped, seeds and stems discarded (see note)
- 6 ounces Anaheim or Cubanelle peppers (about 2 peppers; 170g), roughly chopped, seeds and stems discarded (see note)
- 2 serrano or jalapeño chilies, roughly chopped, stems discarded (see note)
- 8 ounces white onion (about 1 medium; 225g), roughly chopped
- 6 medium cloves garlic, peeled
- 1 tablespoon (15g) whole cumin seed, toasted and ground
- Kosher salt
- 1/2 cup loosely packed fresh cilantro leaves and fine stems (about 1/2 ounce; 15g), plus more for garnish
- 1 tablespoon (15ml) Asian fish sauce
- Fresh corn tortillas and lime wedges, for serving
Directions
In a pressure cooker, combine pork, tomatillos, Poblano peppers, Anaheim peppers, serrano peppers, onion, garlic, cumin, and a big pinch of salt. Heat over high heat until gently sizzling, then seal pressure cooker, bring to high pressure, and cook for 30 minutes. Release pressure.
Using tongs, transfer pork pieces to a bowl and set aside. Add cilantro and fish sauce to remaining contents of pressure cooker. Blend with an immersion blender or in a countertop blender, then season to taste with salt. Return pork to sauce and stir gently to combine. Serve immediately with tortillas and lime wedges.
Note: If you'd like, you can use other fresh green chilies in place of Anaheims, Poblanos, and serranos. Using 100% Hatch chilies is a good way to go. You can also replace the fresh chilies with frozen or jarred roasted green chilies, using the same amount by weight.
Why It Works
- Adding all the ingredients to the pressure cooker, with no extra liquid, makes for an intensely flavored stew that cooks in its own juices.
- Fish sauce adds umami depth to the dish once it's cooked.
