Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds boneless pork shoulder, trimmed of excess fat and cut into large chunks
- 5 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed
- 1 tablespoon coriander seeds
- 1 dried chipotle or other chile
- 1 cinnamon stick
- Several gratings of nutmeg
- Salt
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 2 limes, cut into wedges
Method
- Put the pork in a deep skillet or wide saucepan; wrap the garlic, coriander, chile, and cinnamon in a piece of cheesecloth and add to the pan, along with the nutmeg and salt to taste.
- Add water to cover and bring to a boil over high heat.
- Turn the heat to low and simmer until the pork is very tender, about 1 1/4 hours, adding water as necessary.
- When the pork is soft, remove the cheesecloth sack and discard.
- Raise the heat to medium-high and boil off all the liquid.
- If you choose not to grill, you can now brown the pork in its own remaining fat.
- Garnish with cilantro and serve with lime wedges.
- Or thread the pork onto 8 skewers and, when youre ready to eat, grill them lightly on all sides to brown before garnishing and serving.
