Method

1
Brown the pork
Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown the pork shoulder in batches, turning with tongs, and season with 1/2 tsp salt and black pepper.
10 min
Tip: Avoid crowding the pot or the pork will steam instead of brown.
2
Cook the aromatics
Add the onion and carrot to the Dutch oven over medium heat; stir often, then add the garlic and cumin and stir briefly.
7 min
3
Simmer the stew
Add the black bean, canned diced tomato, chicken broth and orange juice to the Dutch oven. Bring to a boil over high heat, scraping up browned bits.
4 min
4
Tenderize the pork
Cover the Dutch oven and simmer over low heat, stirring every so often. Check the thickest pork piece with an instant-read thermometer.
40 min
Tip: Keep the simmer gentle; add a splash of broth if the stew gets thicker than you like.
5
Taste and serve
