Season the 2 lbs of pork shoulder or pork loin with 1 tsp of kosher salt.

Step 2

Heat 2 tbsp of olive or vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.

Pour in one 16-ounce jar of green salsa (salsa verde) and 2 cups of chicken broth.

Step 7

Add the 4-ounce can of diced green chiles.

Step 8

Return the seared pork to the pot.

Step 9

Bring the mixture to a boil, then lower the heat to a simmer.

Step 10

Cover and cook for 2 to 2 1/2 hours, or until the pork is tender and can be easily pulled apart.

Step 11

Taste and add additional salt if needed.

Step 12

If you like, you can also shred the pork into smaller pieces at this point.
