The story behind
This dish is a culinary treasure from Guerrero, traditionally prepared for family gatherings in Chilpancingo or the mountain regions. The combination of tomatillos and yellow plums creates an artisanal contrast of flavors, typically served in rustic clay pottery to maintain its professional and traditional essence.
Instructions
-
11. Searing the meat: In a clay pot, sear the pork pieces with a bit of lard until they are well browned on the outside.
-
22. Sauce preparation: Blend the tomatillos with the peppers, garlic, and onion. Pour this mixture over the browned meat.
-
33. Integrating the plums: Add the plums to the stew. The sweetness of the fruit will balance the acidity of the tomatillo, creating an authentic Guerrero flavor.
-
44. Slow cooking: Let it simmer over medium-low heat until the meat is tender and the sauce has thickened, allowing the plums to release their essence.
-
55. Presentation: Serve in a clay bowl or plate accompanied by a portion of red rice. You can place whole avocados on the table for a complete traditional touch.
