Time 4h

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 1/2 lbs bone-in pork shoulder (aka pork butt)
1 (15 ounce) bottle salsa verde
1 medium onion, finely chopped
3 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
2 teaspoons cumin seeds
2 teaspoons coriander seeds
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro, plus some
cilantro leaf
salt

Steps:

  • Trim excess pork fat. Put meat in a large casserole or Dutch oven with salsa, onion, broth, cumin seeds, coriander seeds, and oregano. Bring to a boil over high heat; reduce heat, cover, and simmer until meat is very tender when pierced, about 3 hours.
  • Preheat oven to 375°. With 2 wide spatulas, transfer meat to a rimmed baking pan. Bake until richly browned, 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, skim and discard fat from pan juices. Boil juices, stirring, until reduced to 2 3/4 cups, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • With 2 forks, tear meat into large shreds. Add to pan and stir in chopped cilantro. Season with salt. Spoon into a serving bowl and sprinkle with cilantro leaves. Serve with tortillas and more salsa verde.
  • Slow-cooker Salsa Verde Pork: Put trimmed pork in a slow cooker (5 to 6 qt.) and turn heat to high. In a pan, bring salsa, onion, broth, cumin seeds, coriander seeds, and oregano to a boil. Pour over pork, cover, and cook until meat is very tender when pierced and registers at least 165° on an instant-read thermometer, at least 7 or up to 9 hours. Continue recipe with step 2, using a large pot for step 3.

This was a great recipe! The pork was tender and juicy, and the salsa verde was delicious. I served it over rice and it was a hit with my family. I will definitely be making this again!

This dish was just okay. The pork was a bit dry and the salsa verde was too tangy for my taste. I think I would have preferred a milder salsa verde. Overall, it was a good dish, but not one that I would make again.

This recipe was a disaster. The pork was tough and dry, and the salsa verde was too salty. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong. I would not recommend this recipe.

I followed the recipe exactly and the pork turned out dry and overcooked. The salsa verde was also bland and lacked flavor. Overall, I was very disappointed with this dish and would not recommend it.

This recipe was a bit too tangy for my taste. I think I would have preferred a milder salsa verde. The pork itself was cooked perfectly, though. Overall, it was a good dish, but not one that I would make again.
