This is an authentic recipe...I saw it on Cooking with Beth and Bill. Chef Steve Ells, Chipotle Mexican Grill. Ingredients:
1 (6 lb) pork shoulder, boneless |
2 -3 tablespoons olive oil |
1 onion, thinly sliced |
4 medium tomatoes |
4 -6 garlic cloves |
1/2-1 teaspoon cumin powder |
2 -4 sprigs fresh oregano |
2 whole cloves |
2 bay leaves |
2 dried chipotle chiles |
3/4 cup water or 3/4 cup meat stock |
salt and pepper |
Directions:
1. Generously salt and pepper the pork shoulder; let meat come to room temperature, about 2 hours.
2. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
3. Add olive oil to a large ovenproof pan. Sear the pork over medium-high heat until very brown on all sides. Remove pork from the pan; let rest on a platter for 10 to 15 minutes.
4. Leaving an even coating, drain excess oil from the pan. Add onions; sweat over low heat until translucent. Return pork to the pan; add remaining ingredients. Cover pan, place in the oven and cook for 2 to 3 hours or until the internal temperature reaches 140 to 150 degrees F. Let pork rest 10 to 15 minutes before slicing.
5. Use as burrito/taco meat or you can serve with vegetables and potatoes.
