Directions

In a large pot with a lid, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add pork shoulder and turn to brown on all sides, 2 to 3 min. per side. While browning the last side, move pork over and add onion to pot, stirring for 2 to 3 min., or until translucent. Add garlic, Ground Cumin Seeds, Hatch Green Chile Powder, Mexican Oregano, and Mayan Sea Salt. Stir for 30 seconds to 1 min., or until fragrant. Stir in chicken stock, tomatillos, green bell peppers, and honey. Bring mixture to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cover with lid. Simmer for 2 hours, or until pork is tender, stirring occasionally. Remove pork bone and use forks or tongs to shred pork meat. Serve warm, garnished with cilantro and a lime wedge.
