• Salt
• Freshly ground black pepper

Fry the pork in batches until well browned, removing from pan.

Pour off all but 2 tb of oil from pan, then fry the onions and garlic until starting to brown.

• 1 bunch cilantro leaves, cleaned and chopped
• 2 Tbsp of chopped fresh oregano or 1 Tbsp of dried oregano
• 2 1/2 cups chicken stock

Add all to the food processor or bowl. Chop all with a food processor or whir in the bowl to make the sauce.

Throw everything into the pan, bring to a boil, and simmer uncovered 2 to 3 hours.
