For a richer flavor, consider searing the pork in rendered bacon fat instead of olive oil.
Adjust the amount of jalapenos to control the spiciness of the stew. For a milder flavor, remove the seeds and membranes completely.
If fresh tomatillos are unavailable, you can substitute with canned tomatillos, but be sure to drain them well.
Serve with warm tortillas, Spanish rice, and a dollop of sour cream or Mexican crema for the perfect meal.

    I added a can of hominy to the stew and it was a great addition!

  • Forest Rodriguez

    I found the stew to be a little too spicy for my kids, so next time I will use fewer jalapenos.
