Cooking steps
  1. 1

    Rinse and thoroughly clean the pork stomach under cold running water, scraping and trimming off excess fat; soak in water with salt and vinegar for at least 1 hour.

  2. 2

    Roast the Poblano peppers directly over an open flame, turning until blistered; place in a bag to steam 10 minutes, then peel, core, and dice.

  3. 3

    Dice pork shoulder and pork loin into ½-inch pieces. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook diced pork with chorizo until browned and most fat renders, about 8–10 minutes.

  4. 4

    Stir in diced Poblano peppers, raisins, slivered almonds, minced garlic, and all seasonings (salt, black pepper, cumin, oregano, cinnamon). Cook 5 minutes, stirring, to blend flavors and reduce moisture.

  5. 5

    Remove from heat and fold in chopped hard-boiled eggs once mixture is cool enough. Stuff the seasoned mixture evenly into the prepared pork stomach, pressing gently to fill corners, and sew or tie securely with kitchen twine.

  6. 6

    Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a gentle simmer (not boiling). Add the filled pork stomach, weighting if needed to keep submerged, and poach on low heat for 2–2.5 hours until fully cooked and tender, turning halfway.

  7. 7

    Remove from water, let rest 20 minutes, then carefully slice into rounds. Serve warm, garnished as desired.

Personalized Q&A
Q. What's the key ingredient in this Obispo Poblano recipe?
The signature ingredient is the pork stomach, which is stuffed with a savory blend of diced pork shoulder and loin, making the centerpiece of this Pueblan dish. Combined with roasted poblano peppers and Mexican chorizo, it creates a unique and rich flavor that defines authentic Obispo Poblano.
Q. Which seasoning is essential for an authentic taste?
Ground cumin and dried oregano are essential spices in this recipe, providing deep earthy notes and herbal brightness that anchor the filling's flavor. Cinnamon adds subtle warmth, while roasted garlic rounds out the profile typical of Puebla cuisine.
Q. How do I prevent the pork stomach from being tough or rubbery?
Proper cleaning and extended soaking of the pork stomach are crucial before stuffing. For ideal tenderness, poach the stuffed stomach in lightly simmering water (not boiling) and cook gently for 2–2.5 hours. Avoid letting the water actively boil, as rapid cooking can toughen the dish.
