  • Prep Time

  • Cook Time
    2 hrs 5 mins
  • Total Time
    2 hrs 20 mins

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds of pork ribs, sliced into 2-inch sections
  • 1 pound of boneless pork shoulder, diced into 1-inch cubes
  • A generous ½ cup of water
  • ½ teaspoon of salt for seasoning
  • 1 onion, cut into quarters
  • 6 tomatillos, husked and quartered
  • 2 spicy serrano chile peppers
  • ¼ cup of freshly chopped cilantro
  • Enough water to cover the ingredients
  • 4 cloves of peeled garlic
  • Season with salt and ground black pepper to your liking
  • 3 bunches of vibrant purslane

Step 1

Gather your pork ribs and shoulder, along with a sprinkle of salt, in a cozy Dutch oven over medium heat. Let it all mingle and cook together for about 20 minutes, stirring every now and then. Once ready, unveil the pot and turn up the heat to medium-high. Keep an eye on it as you stir and cook until the liquid bids farewell and the pork takes on a delightful brown hue, which usually takes around 15 to 20 minutes.

Step 2

Meanwhile, in a separate tale, unite the onion, tomatillos, spicy serrano peppers, and fragrant cilantro in a medium saucepan. Pour in just enough water to cover the ingredients and bring it all to a bubbling boil. Let them simmer until the tomatillos soften and transform in color, usually about 5 to 7 minutes. Once they are ready, whisk this symphony of veggies into a blender, toss in some garlic, and blend until your sauce is velvety smooth.

Step 3

Now, pour this luscious sauce back into the Dutch oven, sprinkle in some more salt and pepper to taste, and let it all simmer together for a magical hour. When the time's up, toss in some purslane and let it dance in the stew until the pork becomes tender and the purslane turns into a soft, vibrant addition. This final simmer usually takes about 20 more minutes. Enjoy the flavors that have mingled and transformed into a delightful symphony for your taste buds.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Keep your herbs fresh by wrapping them in a damp paper towel and storing them in a resealable bag in the refrigerator.
  2. 2. Store your vegetables like carrots, potatoes, and onions in a cool, dark place to prevent them from sprouting.
  3. 3. Freeze any leftover stew in individual portion sizes for quick and easy meals later on.
