Carne Adovada

/posts/2018/03/2018-03-12_Carne_Adovada.html

I made carne adovada. After last time^[@rev], I decided I wanted to (a) make it myself and (b) use lean pork (pork loin). I based it on the reciep from Rancho De Chimayo's^[@rev] but really did my own thing below. I made it on Sunday mornin and (had Meredith) put it in the oven around 4:00pm on Monday

I baked it for about 3.5 hours covered and 1/2 hour uncovered to thicken. It could have used a bit more thickening but was pretty good. The flavor wasn't as good as some resturants but I liked it a lot still. I think it could use a bit more thickness. And maybe a bit smoother??? (not sure). But it was fun to make. I wonder where the texture in the sauce comes from.

Recipe

I based it on Rancho De Chimayo's^[@rev] but kind of did my own thing.

Ingredients

• Water for chiles
• 1 cup reserved chile water
• 3 cups chicken broth (or boullion)
• 8 ounces (about 25) whole dried New Mexican red chile pods
• 6 garlic cloves minced
• 1 onion, chopped, divided
• 2 Tbsp butter, divided
• 1 Tbsp crushed red pepper
• 1/2 Tbsp cumin
• 1 tsp oregano
• 1 tsp corriander
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 Tbsp vegemite
• 1 Tbsp loy sodium soy sauce
• 3 lbs lean pork (pork lion)

Directions

1. Trim chile pods and remove seeds. Cover with water and simmer for 10-15 min
2. Saute the garlic and 1/2 of the onion in the butter until fragrant. Remove from heat
3. Reserve 1 cup from chiles and drain. Working in two batches, puree onions+garlic, chile and the broth/water
4. Saute the rest of the onion in the butter
5. Add remaining ingredients except pork and simmer for 20-30 min. Cover or uncover based on desired thickness (it should be thick enough already)
6. Allow to cool, add pork and marinate for at least a few hours or even longer
7. Braise in the oven at 300°F for 3 or so hours. Uncover and let it keep going it not thick enough
