Found this recipe on the back of the La Victoria jar and it's good. I change my recipe in that my pork is cooked first and instead of cubing it - it is more shreaded. When I make pork butt - this is what I do with my left overs - I make this chile verde recipe!

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds pork shoulder butt - cubed
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 large onion minced or diced (or 1/2 cup dried onion flakes)

How To Make chile verde

  • Step 1
    Cut pork into 1/2-inch cubes; season cubes with salt and pepper. NOTE: I changed my recipe in that my pork is cooked first and instead of cubing it - it is more shreaded. When I make pork butt - this is what I do with my left overs
  • Step 2
    In a large, heavy pan with lid, brown the cubes well in oil and melted butter. If your pork is already cooked - just add it here and skip to step 3
  • Step 3
    Add the onion and garlic and sauté for about 5 minutes, then drain the fat from the pan.
  • Step 4
    Add the remaining ingredients, cover, and simmer for at least 90 minutes, stirring frequently; add more water (or broth or beer) during cooking if necessary to achieve desired sauce texture.
