Step 1

Brown the cubed pork shoulder in 2 tablespoons of oil. Use a heavy bottomed Dutch pan over medium high heat. Sprinkle the pork generously with salt and pepper. Add onion and garlic about halfway through browning.

Step 2

When meat is brown, add two cups of brown and cook, covered, until very tender. About 1 1/2 hours.

Step 3

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Step 4

Pour broth out of pan and degrease as much as possible. Add broth, chiles, cilantro and the cooked onion and garlic from the broth. Purée until smoothie.

Step 5

Heat four tablespoons of oil in a large skillet over medium low heat. Add puréed broth mixture and sautée, stirring constantly for about 3 minutes. Add 1 cup of crema and salt and pepper to taste.

Step 6

Spoon a few tablespoons of the sauce to the bottom of an oiled baking dish, about 15x10”. Arrange pork on top and then pour remaining sauce over the top. Sprinkle with cheese and drizzle remaining crema.

Step 7

Bake until top is lightly browned. Garnish with cilantro.
