Mama Isa's Tomatillo Pork Stew
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 pork was tender and flavorful, and the Mexican squash (not zucchini) was lovely in this stew served over rice. I'll definitely get it again. The tomatillo flavor was light and not salsa-ish.
