Directions
Rinse the chunks of pork butt and pat dry. Place a saute pan over high heat and place the pork chunks in it. Add the salt and bay leaf. Cook the pork until it begins to release its fat and begins to brown. Remove the bay leaf from pan and reserve. Continue to cook the pork over medium heat.
In a pot of 1 quart water, fully submerge the tomatillos and boil them until soft. Drain the water into a blender, then add the reserved bay leaf, oregano, allspice, cumin seeds, peppercorns and cloves. Blend until smooth. Immediately pour over the pork chunks in the pan. Blend the tomatillos with the with the onions, serranos, green onions, cilantro, garlic and poblanos, in batches if necessary. Pour the sauce over the pork chunks in the saute pan and cook over low heat until the sauce simmers, another 15 to 20 minutes. Remove the excess grease from the pan.
