Steps

40 minutes

1

Boil the meat with half the onion, a garlic clove, and enough water (I use a pressure cooker, and it takes about 20 minutes).
2

Meanwhile, slice the tomatoes and the rest of the onion into thin strips or sixths.
3

Once you can open the pot, if there's too much water, remove some and save it for rice.
4

Remove the garlic and onion, then add the tomatoes.
5

Place the meat on top of the tomatoes to absorb the flavor.
6

Add two tablespoons of Knorr pork seasoning or salt.
7

Add pepper to taste and the bay leaves.
8

Add the chipotle peppers, cover, and let it simmer for another 20 minutes.
9

Let it rest before opening the pot, taste, adjust the seasoning, and enjoy.

Tip: If you have a larger family, buy more pieces of pork shank and add 3 more green tomatoes and 1 more bay leaf for each additional piece. Adjust the saltiness, spiciness, and brothiness to your liking.
