In a large
heavy pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over
medium heat and brown pork cubes all over in two
batches, about 5 to 7 minutes per batch. Remove
meat and add onions, carrots and celery. Cook,
stirring, until soft, about 5 minutes. Add
garlic and cook 1 minute more. Add broth and
scrape up any browned bits from bottom of pan.
Return meat to pot and add remaining spice mix,
chiles, cilantro stems, oregano, hominy, lime
zest, and tequila (if desired). Bring to a boil,
then reduce to a simmer. Cook until pork is just
tender, 30 minutes or more. Add half of the
cilantro leaves and cook 3 minutes more. Season
stew to taste with salt, pepper, and lime juice. |
