Ingredients
4 dried ancho chiles, seeded and stemmed
4 cups chicken stock
3 to 3 1/2 pounds pork shoulder, cut into 2-inch chunks for stewing
Salt and pepper
2 to 3 tablespoons olive or vegetable oil
6 to 8 cloves garlic, smashed from skins
3 to 4 medium carrots, chopped
2 large fresh bay leaves or dried pimento leaves
2 onions, chopped
1 jalapeno pepper, chopped
1 teaspoon ground cumin
Pinch ground cloves
Small piece cinnamon stick
2 limes, juiced
One 28- to 32-ounce can plum tomatoes
Handful fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
Serving suggestions: white rice and sliced fresh or pickled jalapeno peppers
Instructions
Add the anchos to a medium pot with the chicken stock, and bring to a simmer. Heat until the chiles are softened, about 15 minutes. Pat the meat dry and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Heat a large Dutch oven with the oil over medium-high heat. Brown the meat in batches and remove to a plate. Add more oil, as necessary. Add the garlic, carrots, bay leaves, onions, jalapenos, cumin, cloves and some salt and pepper. Cook partially covered for a few minutes. Puree the anchos and stock together. Add the ancho stock to the Dutch oven with the cinnamon stick, lime juice, tomatoes (mash up the tomatoes a bit). Stir in the cilantro and return the pork to the Dutch oven. Stir, cover and cook over low heat 2 1/2 to 3 hours until very tender, stirring occasionally. Remove the cinnamon stick and bay leaf. Cool completely and store in the refrigerator for a make-ahead meal. Reheat over medium heat. Serve with rice and jalapenos.
