2 1/4 pounds boneless pork sirloin chops, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup Chicken Stock (page 230) or store-bought low-sodium chicken broth
1 7-ounce can or jar salsa verde (mild to medium)
6 large garlic cloves, roughly chopped
2 plum tomatoes, chopped
1 large yellow onion, chopped
1 1/2 tablespoons ground cumin
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon chili powder
1 tablespoon dried oregano
Dash of cayenne pepper

1
In a large bowl, season the pork with the salt and pepper.
2
In a 12-inch skillet over high heat, heat the oil and add the pork, searing it on one side until golden brown, about 5 minutes.
3
Stir the pork and continue searing it on all sides for an additional 12 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4
The pork is done when the liquid in the pan is evaporated and the meat is evenly browned on all sides.
5
Add the chicken stock, salsa verde, garlic, tomatoes, onion, cumin, chili powder, oregano, cayenne, and 3 cups water to the skillet.
6
Bring to a simmer and cook for 30 to 45 minutes until the liquid is almost evaporated, stirring occasionally.
7
Reduce the heat to medium and cook for about 5 minutes, or until the dish has the desired amount of sauce.
8
The longer you cook it, the less sauce you will have.
9
For more tender pork, add an additional 1/2 cup water and continue cooking until the desired amount of sauce is reached.
10
The pork can be prepared up to 5 days in advance or frozen for up to 3 months.
11
Reheat, covered, in a saucepan over low heat.
