Ingredients

Red Chili Braised Pork
  • 1/2 cup lard
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 6 garlic cloves, chopped
  • 8 dried red New Mexico Chilies, re-hydrated in hot water for 20 minutes then drained
  • 1 15 ounce can of tomatoes and their juice
  • 1 tbs oregano
  • 2 lbs country-style pork ribs, either bone-in or boneless
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. In a large dutch oven placed over medium-high heat add lard, onions, and garlic, saute for 4-5 minutes.
  2. Place pork into the dutch oven and brown for 10-15 minutes, season with salt and pepper.
  3. Place onions and garlic into a stand blender, add salt, pepper, chilies and tomatoes, process until smooth, set aside.
  4. Take contents of the blender and pour over pork, reduce heat to low, and cover.
  5. Cook this for about 2 hours or until pork is easily fork tender.
Chef 's Notes:
  1. As with most of my recipes, I don't provide salt and pepper measurements, this is for you to figure out. Also, garnishing this with fresh lime juice, cilantro, and Mexican crumbling cheese is a nice addition.
