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.
This would have been better if it had more sauce, as it wasn't really a stew at all. Also portions are always good here but there were seriously 3 little pieces of pork, which were good and tender.

Meat had no flavor. If this was stew, not enough sauce. Rice was good, but needed more sauce.
