Braised Pork Sandwich with Spicy Tomato Broth (Tortas Ahogadas) (Marcela Valladolid) Recipe
Posted by
Directions:
- *Cook's Note: Bolillos are oblong-shaped individual rolls. Stale ones are perfect for these sandwiches because they soak up all great the tomato broth.
- In a large, heavy skillet, heat the vegetable shortening over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the pork all over with salt and pepper. Sear the meat on all sides until golden brown, about 5 minutes per side.
- Carefully add 3 cups water, the garlic, peppercorns, bay leaf and onion. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cover, reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the meat is tender, about 25 minutes. Uncover and continue to cook until the liquid completely evaporates and the pork meat is browned, about 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, warm the refried beans in the microwave or in a saucepan over low heat.
- Transfer the meat to a cutting board. Discard the garlic, peppercorns, bay leaf and onion. Thinly slice the pieces of pork.
- Cut each bolillo in half lengthwise, spread 2 tablespoons of refried beans on each bottom half and top with 1/4 cup pork. Put the other bolillo half on top. Serve in shallow bowls and drench each torta with the warm Spicy Tomato Broth.
- Spicy Tomato Broth:
- Combine the tomatoes, garlic, onions, oregano and chile in a blender and process until smooth.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a medium, heavy saucepan over medium-high heat. Transfer the tomato mixture to medium, heavy saucepan and add the chicken broth. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until bright red, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Yield: 4 1/2 cups.
