    List of Ingredients




    1-1/2 pounds fresh tomatillos, husks discarded, rinsed with warm water
    and quartered
    4 tablespoons olive oil
    3 pounds pork shoulder, cut into 1-inch cubes
    1 large white onion, chopped (about 3-1/2 cups)
    3 large garlic cloves, finely chopped
    2 large jalapenos, halved, seeded and chopped
    1 teaspoon dried oregano
    1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
    1 box (9 oz.) frozen corn
    1-3/4 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
    1 can (19 oz.) black beans, rinsed and drained
    1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
    2 teaspoons fine cornmeal

    Recipe



    1. Heat broiler. Arrange tomatillos on a large sheet pan and broil 6
    inches from heat until lightly charred, turning occasionally, about 8
    minutes.

    2. Heat oil in a 5- to 6-quart heavy pot or Dutch oven with a
    tight-fitting lid until hot but not smoking and brown pork in batches,
    turning, about 5 minutes per batch. Transfer pork with a slotted spoon
    to a bowl, reserving pot.

    3. Add onion, garlic, jalapeno, oregano, and cumin to pot and cook over
    moderate heat, stirring, until onion is softened, about 3 minutes. Add
    tomatillos, corn, broth, 1/2 cup water, and browned pork to pot. Bring
    just to a boil and simmer, covered (do not boil), until pork is tender,
    about 45 minutes. Stir in beans, cilantro, and cornmeal and simmer,
    uncovered, until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.

    4. Serve stew with avocado, sour cream, and chopped white onion, if
    desired. Makes 6 servings.
