Steps:

  • 1. In a large pot heat the oil over medium heat and lightly brown the pork in batches. Season each batch lightly with salt. Transfer the browned pork to a bowl as it browns. 2. Put the onion, garlic, oregano, and cumin into the pot and cook, stirring, until they begin to color, 3 to 4 minutes. Return the meat to the pot and add the tomatoes, broth, and epazote. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low, cover and cook until the pork is very tender, about 1 hour. 3. Meanwhile, remove the stem and seeds from the chiles. Dice the chiles into 3/4-inch pieces and stir into the stew along with the corn. Add freshly ground pepper and additional salt, if needed. Cook until the corn is tender, about 5 to 6 minutes. Serve the stew hot with lime wedges to squeeze over the stew.From "1,000 Mexican Recipes." Copyright 2001 by Marge Poore. Used with permission of the publisher, Wiley Publishing, Inc.
