Saucy Pork:

Ingredients:

8 c. cubed pork
2 T. peanut oil
2 T. kosher salt
2 T. fresh ground pepper
¼ t. comino
*2/3 c. beer
1 medium red onion (or sweet onion) chopped
5-6 cloves garlic, minced
3 c. cubed tomatillos
1-2 jalapenos, minced (to taste)
2 T. fresh cilantro, minced

Mix salt, pepper and comino together. Brown pork in 1 T. oil, in a cast iron or heavy dutch oven on high heat. Cook small batches, all meat cubes should be able to touch the bottom of the pan. Sprinkle with seasoning mix as you brown (add the seasoning to your taste, you will not necessarily use all of it), scrapping up browned bits, set browned meat aside until all meat is cooked. When last batch is done, add 1/3 c. beer and the rest of the meat. Bring to a simmer, reduce heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes. If the liquid evaporates, *add more beer as needed. Meanwhile, in a frying pan with a heavy bottom, add 1 T. oil and heat to medium high. Add onion, garlic, tomatillos and jalapenos. Saute until vegetables are wilted, add 2 T. cilantro and turn off heat. When meat has simmered, add vegetables, stir and simmer an additional 30 minutes or until meat is tender. Remove lid, simmer on medium heat until liquid has evaporated and is slightly thickened. Serve with cold beer, warm corn tortillas and sliced jicama, pineapple and orange.
