One of Chef Maribel's favorite weekday meals, this dish is comfort on a plate featuring lean pork stewed with a bright tomatillo sauce and a small kick of serrano spice, and served with rice. If you love Chef Maribel's tomatillo enchiladas, this version of her tomatillo sauce is enhanced with the pork and paired with calabacitas, or Mexican squash, and corn.
The scent (and believe it or not, the flavor) of the plain white rice permeated every aspect of this dish.

Overall, it was good. I think spanish rice would have been a better side and potatoes mixed with the stew.. The pork tasted a little bland.

I love this Dish this is the 3rd time I’ve ordered it. But unfortunately this last one I got was all rice and only 2 pieces of Pork. If the pork was a good size that would be fine but it wasn’t
