Servings: persons

2 tablespoons olive oil
3 to 4 pounds trimmed boneless pork shoulder, cut into 2-inch pieces
2 large white onions, chopped
4 large apples, peeled, cored and roughly chopped
3 snipped and seeded ancho or other mild dried chilies
3 bay leaves
Pinch of ground cloves
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
4 cups chicken stock
Steamed rice for serving
1/4 cup chopped cilantro

1
Heat the olive oil in a skillet and brown the pork in it on all sides; you may have to do this in batches for the most efficient browning.
2
Meanwhile, saute the onions and apples in a pan with the chilies, bay leaves and cloves until the onions are tender, about 10 minutes.
3
Combine all the ingredients in a saucepan, Dutch oven or slow cooker.
4
Bring to a boil, then adjust the heat so the mixture bubbles steadily but not vigorously.
5
(If youre using a slow cooker, turn it to high and walk away for 4 or 6 hours.)
6
Cook, stirring every 30 minutes or so, until the meat is very tender and just about falling apart, at least an hour.
7
Taste and adjust the seasoning, then lower the heat (this will keep well for at least an hour before serving).
8
Remove the meat, then reduce the broth as necessary; serve over steamed rice, garnished with cilantro.
