Instructions: Brown the pork in the oil in small batches in a large nonstick skillet or Dutch oven. Remove and set aside.

Saute the onion and garlic in the pan about 5 minutes, until lightly browned. Add the pork and all the remaining ingredients, plus 1/4 cup water.

Cover and simmer on top of the stove, or bake in a 325 degree oven, for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until the pork is tender. Skim any fat from the surface before serving.

This recipe yields 7 servings.

Serving size: 1 cup.

Comments: Pork shoulder is a lean but not very tender cut. The slow cooking of the pork, which is accented with an abundance of spices and seasonings, helps make the meat tender and tasty. Serve with hot cooked rice or use as a filling for warmed flour tortillas. Add 1 starch exchange for 1/2 cup of rice or one 7-inch tortilla.
