Cooking Instructions

40 minutes
  1. 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. 2

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

  3. 3

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

  4. 4

    Remove the garlic and onion, then add the tomatoes.

  5. 5

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

  6. 6

    Add two tablespoons of Knorr pork seasoning or salt.

  7. 7

    Add pepper to taste and the bay leaves.

  8. 8

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

  9. 9

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

  10. 10

    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.
