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.
More pork and less veg!!! It's supposed to be a pork stew not a veg stew!

I've had this many times and always loved it, but it's getting spicier & spicier where now the Serrano peppers overpower it. I can't take too much heat. I wish I could, but I simply can't reorder it.
