4 c. (approx. 1 lb.)  cooked boneless pork shoulder roast

1 T. Mexican chili powder 

6 cloves garlic (minced, 1 ½ t.)

½ t. ground cumin

½ t. salt

¼ t. black pepper

2 T. lime juice

3 T. vegetable oil

2 stalks celery (thinly sliced)

1 onions (medium, roughly chopped)

1 large carrots (peeled, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced)

1 poblano chiles (seeded and cut into 1/2-inch pieces)

½ jalapeño chiles (large, thinly sliced)

1 ¾ c. chicken stock (or 14 oz. reduced sodium chicken broth)

12 oz. Mexican lager beer

½ t. dried leaves oregano

2 bay leaves

3 T. flour

2 c. cooked rice (optional)


Remove and discard skin and outer fat from cooked pork roast. Cut meat into ¾-inch cubes. (You should have about 4 cups cubed pork.)

     Place pork in a single layer in glass baking dish. Sprinkle with chili powder, garlic, cumin, salt and black pepper. Toss pork until evenly coated with seasonings. Drizzle with lime juice and 1 tablespoon oil; toss until evenly coated. Cover baking dish with plastic wrap and marinate pork in refrigerator for 30 minutes.

     Meanwhile, heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil over medium heat in 6-quart soup pot or Dutch oven. Add celery, onion, carrot, and poblano and jalapeño chiles. Cook about 5 minutes or until onion is translucent and vegetables are crisp-tender, stirring occasionally.

     Add marinated pork mixture to vegetables in soup pot. Cook for 2 minutes over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Stir in chicken stock, beer, oregano and bay leaves. Bring mixture to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low. Gently simmer, covered, for 30 minutes.

     Stir together flour and ⅓ cup cold water in small bowl until smooth. Slowly stir flour mixture into stew mixture. Increase heat to medium; cook and stir for 1 minute. Remove from heat. Serve stew in bowls or, if desired, over rice.
