While you have your pork out (and we're all trying to get rid of
our pork)try this!CARNE DE PUERCO EN GUAJILLO SAUCE
4-5 lbs. Pork (shoulder is good) cubed into inch and one half
chunks
8 cloves garlic minced
1 medium onion chopped
1 ½ tbls. Cumin
salt to taste
12 Guajillo peppers dried
2 Oranges
Cilantro ½ bunch
In a large heavy pan with lid cook the pork over medium high to
high heat adding the garlic and spices. An amount of liquid will
release from the pork. Cook until the liquid is gone and then brown
the meat.
Slit open the Guajillos and deseed and devein them. Spread them
open and lay them flat in a pan on medium high heat. Press down on
them for about 5-10 seconds. DO NOT SCORCH!! This releases the oils
in the pepper. Do them in batches till all are done. Boil two cups
of water and put the peppers in the water. Remove from heat. Add
the onion and let this sit for 10 minutes. Then throw all into the
blender into a blender and puree. Add chicken broth as needed.
In the heavy pan you should have nicely browned chunks with a fond
on the bottom of the pan. Add the guajillo sauce, cilantro, cumin,
and bring to a simmer. Cut the oranges in half and squeeze the
juice into the pan. Throw in the orange halves and cover. Simmer
for an hour or two or until tender, adding water as needed. Serve
over steamed or Mexican (Southside Shaylas’
Rice).
