Author Notes
The first time I visited my boyfriend's family in his home town his mother made this recipe for us. I remember waking up to the smell, that was perfuming the entire house. This is one of those simple recipes that comes together to be so delicious that its hard to believe it has so few ingredients. You cook the vegetables until they break down into a sauce that surrounds the pork pieces. I could eat it everyday! Serve with corn tortillas, and Mexican crema. —The DuelingDoctors
