Simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, for about 1 1/4 hours, until meat is fork-tender and liquid has thickened.

Serving Suggestion: In Mexico, pork is often cooked with lime and served with more lime. This very flavorful, stew-like dish can be served with hominy, rice, or potatoes. You can also add black beans and corn. Also can be served as part of Pastel de Cerdo y Limon.
