Instructions
- Combine flour, pepper, 1 teaspoon salt, and cumin in a large bowl. Dredge pork in flour mixture until well coated.
- Heat olive oil in a large, heavy pan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat until shimmers. Add pork, in batches, in a single layer; brown on all sides, about 15 minutes. Transfer pork to a bowl; cover to keep warm.
- Add onion to pan; cook and stir over medium heat, adding more olive oil if necessary, until translucent and beginning to brown, about 7 minutes. Return pork to pan; stir in tomatillos, water, canned chiles, 1/2 cup cilantro, jalapeños, garlic, and marjoram. Check seasoning; add 1 pinch salt, if needed. Cover and simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally, until pork tender, about 1 hour. Degrease stew before serving in bowls, garnished with sour cream and cilantro.
