Ingredients
-
1 ½ pounds boneless pork chops
-
1 pint water to cover
-
1 lime, juiced
-
1 sprig fresh thyme
-
8 black peppercorns
-
1 tablespoon garlic powder, or to taste
-
1 tablespoon onion powder
-
salt to taste
-
2 tablespoons olive oil
-
1 large onion, halved and thinly sliced
-
3 cloves garlic, peeled and sliced
-
1 lime, juiced
-
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
Directions
-
Combine water, juice of one lime, thyme sprig, peppercorns, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt in a large pot; bring to a boil. Add pork chops, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until meat is very tender, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Add more water as necessary to keep chops covered.
-
Turn off heat and let chops rest in broth for 30 minutes. Remove chops from broth and shred, removing excess fat; set aside.
-
Heat olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add shredded pork and fry until almost crisp, about 5 minutes. Add onion and garlic; continue to cook until onion is just tender yet slightly crisp, about 10 minutes more.
-
Stir in juice of one lime and cilantro; serve.
