Instructions
Adjust oven rack to lower middle position and preheat oven to 225°F.
Heat butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat until melted.
Add onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and just beginning to brown, about 10 minutes.
Add garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Heat oil in a Dutch oven on high heat until shimmering. Sear pork cubes on all sides.
Remove pork from the Dutch oven and add white wine. Lower heat to medium-low and cook for 1 minute, scraping up all the browned bits with a wooden spoon or stiff spatula.
Return onions and pork to Dutch oven, then add tomatoes, chicken stock, bay leaf, cilantro, oregano, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Stir well. Bring to a boil, cover, and transfer to the oven. Cook until pork is completely tender, about 3 hours. Alternatively, transfer mixture to a slow cooker and cook on low heat for 6 to 8 hours (see note above).
Remove from oven. Set the Dutch oven on the stove over medium heat (if using slow cooker, transfer contents to Dutch oven). Stir together cornstarch and cold water in a cup until completely mixed.
Pour cornstarch into stew and cook, stirring constantly, until the liquid in the stew has thickened, about 5 minutes. Stir half of parsley into stew, sprinkle with remaining parsley, and serve.
