Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon refined coconut or vegetable oil
  • 2 pounds boneless pork - cubed
  • 1 onion - chopped,
  • 1 teaspoon garlic - minced
  • ¼ cup flour
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1 ½ cups roasted green chile - skins, stems, seeds removed, chopped
  • 6 to 8 tomatillos - peeled and quartered
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • cilantro and lime wedges - to garnish

Instructions

  • Brown the pork cubes in the oil, add the onion followed by the flour, sauté until pork begins to brown.
  • Add the ground cumin and garlic. Stir to combine.
  • Add the green chile and tomatillos.
  • Stir in the broth/stock and salt. Be sure to stir and scrape vigorously! Any flour stuck to the bottom can potentially cause a "burn" error.
  • Lock the lid on the Instant Pot, and set for 30 minutes under high pressure. When the cycle is complete, you can allow it to de-pressurize naturally, or you can do a quick release. 30 minutes is adequate to get tender pork chunks! Check seasoning. Garnish as desired.
  • Serve with rice, quinoa, farro, etc. or rolled up in a tortilla. Enjoy!
