Method
 

Preparation
  1. Char the Hatch chiles over an open flame until blistered, about 5-7 minutes. Cover for 20 minutes to steam.
  2. Season the cubed pork shoulder with salt and pepper for maximum flavor.
  3. Heat oil in a pot and sear the seasoned pork until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes per batch.
  4. Add chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot and sauté until softened, roughly 3-4 minutes.
  5. Return seared pork to the pot, add chicken broth, oregano, cumin, salt, and pepper. Simmer uncovered for 1 hour.
  6. Peel and chop the steamed chiles, then add them with the diced fire-roasted tomatoes. Simmer for 30 minutes.
  7. Add diced, peeled potatoes, and simmer until fork-tender, about 20 minutes.
  8. Mix softened butter with flour, stir into the stew, and cook until thickened.
  9. Ladle the stew into bowls and garnish with lime wedges and cilantro. Serve warm.
