One of Chef Maribel's favorite weekday meals, this dish is comfort on a plate featuring lean pork stewed with a bright tomatillo sauce and a small kick of serrano spice, and served with rice. If you love Chef Maribel's tomatillo enchiladas, this version of her tomatillo sauce is enhanced with the pork and paired with calabacitas, or Mexican squash, and corn.

About Maribel Rivero

Personal chef and cooking instructor in Austin, TX. My specialty covers foods from South America to North America. I'm motivated by the stories behind cooking and expressing that story into the flavor of the food. In 2017, my brother and I created Yuyo Peruano restaurant as a celebration of my culinary immersion throughout South America, where I connected with the people and the culinary community from Bolivia, Peru, Argentina, and Uruguay. I was recognized by the James Beard Foundation with a Best Chef nomination in 2019. Due to covid Yuyo closed with many other opportunities to cook for many more than I could have imagined through CookUnity.
