2. Brown the pork cubes on all sides, about 8-10 minutes total.
3. Add onion and garlic, cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
4. Add green chiles, cumin, and oregano. Stir to combine.
5. Pour in broth and bring to a boil.
6. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1 hour.

Notes

For best flavor, use Hatch green chiles when in season. Can be made ahead and reheated. The stew actually tastes better the next day as the flavors meld together.
