Ingredients for Tacos with Pork in Green Sauce (Tacos de cerdo en salsa verde)

• 675g tomatillos (15 to 18), husked and rinsed

• 2 serrano or jalapeño chillies, stemmed

• 1 teaspoon cumin seed

• 3 allspice berries

• 1 clavo de olor entero

• 3 medium garlic cloves, peeled

• 1/2 taza de cilantro picado en trozos grandes

• 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, divided

• 1.4kg pork shoulder, cut into 1-inch pieces

• 2 cucharadas de aceite vegetal

In a 3-quart saucepan, cover the tomatillos and chillies with cold water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer the vegetables uncovered, turning occasionally, until the tomatillos are tender and khaki-green all over but still intact, about 15 minutes. Reserve the cooking liquid.

Heat the cumin, allspice berries, and clove in a small, dry skillet over medium heat, shaking the pan or stirring the spices until they are fragrant and the cumin is a few shades darker, about 1 minute.

Put the spices in a blender along with 240ml the tomatillo cooking water and blend until the spices are ground. Using a slotted spoon, gently lift the tomatillos and chillies out of the remaining cooking water and put them in the blender along with the garlic, coriander, and 1/2 teaspoons salt. Blend until smooth.

Pat the pork dry and season with the remaining 1 teaspoon salt. Heat the oil in a wide, heavy 4- to 5-quart pot over medium-high heat and brown the pork in batches without crowding, turning occasionally, about 8 minutes per batch.

Return all the meat to the pan and add the tomatillo sauce. Bring to a simmer, stirring to coat the meat, then reduce the heat. Simmer the pork, covered, stirring occasionally, until the meat is tender and the sauce is thickened, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. If necessary, continue to cook uncovered to thicken the sauce. Shred the meat with two forks.

Make tacos with the accompaniments.
