Scents of chipotle, lime, garlic, and spices waft through the house as Chipotle Pork slow cooks in the oven. The results are tender, juicy, fall-of-the-bone meat that retains a smoky heat thanks to the chipotle chiles. Versatlie Chipotle Pork is perfect by itself with rice, for sandwiches, tacos, or as a topping for baked potatoes. Ingredients:
1/2 cup chopped onion |
1 1/2 tablespoons honey |
1 teaspoon ground cumin |
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
9 large garlic cloves, peeled |
3 chipotle chiles, canned in adobo sauce |
1 lime |
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided |
1 (1 1/4-pound) boneless pork shoulder (boston butt), trimmed |
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt |
1/2 cup fat-free, lower-sodium chicken broth |
Directions:
1. Combine first 6 ingredients in a food processor; pulse until finely chopped. Peel and section lime over a bowl, catching juices; discard peel. Add lime juice, lime sections, and 1 tablespoon olive oil to food processor; process until smooth. Scrape the chipotle mixture into a zip-top plastic bag. Add pork; seal. Marinate in refrigerator 1 hour.
2. Preheat oven to 325°.
3. Heat a small Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon oil to pan; swirl. Remove pork from bag; reserve marinade. Sprinkle pork with salt. Add pork to pan; sauté 8 minutes, browning on all sides. Remove pork from pan. Add broth and reserved marinade to pan; bring to a boil, scraping pan to loosen browned bits. Return pork to pan; cover and bake at 325° for 2 1/2 hours or until pork is fork-tender. Shred pork; toss with sauce.
