Ingredients

6 servings

2 lb pork shoulder, cut into 1 ½-inch cubes
1 ½ tsp kosher salt, plus more to taste
½ tsp black pepper
Ingredient note
Dried black pepper can sometimes contain mold toxins, but the small amount in this recipe—about a pinch per serving—is likely tolerated by many. When possible, use a recently purchased organic spice and store it tightly closed in a cool, dry place. If you prefer to always avoid black pepper, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
2 tbsp avocado oil, divided
1 lb tomatillos, husked and halved
2 poblano peppers, halved and seeded
2 hatch green chiles or anaheim chiles, halved and seeded
Ingredient note
The Mold Detox diet limits chili peppers because they can pick up mold once they are dried and stored, but the peppers on this line are used fresh, not dried, so they are likely tolerated by many. If you prefer to always avoid fresh chili peppers, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
1 medium white onion, roughly chopped
4 cloves garlic, smashed
1 jalapeño, halved (seeds removed for less heat, or kept for more)

1 ½ tsp smoked paprika
Ingredient note
Dried smoked paprika can sometimes contain mold toxins, but the small amount in this recipe—about 1/4 teaspoon per serving—is likely tolerated by many. When possible, use a recently purchased organic spice and store it tightly closed in a cool, dry place. If you prefer to always avoid smoked paprika, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
1 ½ tsp ground cumin
1 tsp dried oregano
2 cups chicken broth
¼ cup fresh cilantro leaves, roughly chopped
2 tbsp fresh lime juice

For serving

lime wedges, for serving (optional)
sliced avocado, for serving (optional)

Instructions

1
Position an oven rack 6 inches from the broiler and heat the broiler to high. Arrange the tomatillos (cut-side down), poblanos, Hatch chiles, and jalapeño on a rimmed baking sheet. Broil for 8–10 minutes, until the skins are blistered and charred in spots and the tomatillos have softened and released their juices.
2
Transfer the broiled vegetables to a blender. Add the onion, garlic, smoked paprika, cumin, and dried oregano. Pour in 1 cup of the chicken broth. Blend on high until smooth, about 45 seconds. Set the green chile sauce aside.
