I used country style spare ribs and pork shoulder meat and simmered for 1 hour before adding the tomatillo/chile/onion mixture. Meat fell off the bone, very tender and tasty. Next time I make it, I will add pinto beans to the stew rather than serve refried beans on the side. Family really liked this dish. Mexican Comfort Food!!
