Amigos, I can&#039;t wait to share this recipe for Carne Adovada (New Mexico-Style Pork Stew With Red Chiles) with you. Spoon-tender chunks of slow-cooked pork swimming in a vibrant and intensely-flavored red chile sauce are perfect for eating like a bowl of chili, stuffing into corn tortillas, or serving with beans and rice.

Carne Adovada (New Mexico-Style Pork Stew With Red Chiles)

ancho chiles

guajillo chiles

dried pasilla chiles

water

garlic

onion

white vinegar

salt

cumin

black pepper

oregano

cinnamon

pork shoulder roast (chopped)

vegetable oil

In a medium saucepan, bring the dried chiles and water to a boil over high heat. Cover, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for about 5 minutes, until the chiles have softened. Remove from the heat and cool to room temperature. Drain.

Blend the softened chiles, garlic, onion, vinegar, salt, cumin, pepper, oregano, and cinnamon in a blender until smooth.

In a large bowl or baking dish, mix together the pork and chile purée until the meat is coated. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours and up to overnight.

In a large skillet, heat the oil over high heat. Add the carne adobada and cook for 10 to 15 minutes, until the meat is cooked through. Cover, reduce the heat to low, and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 12 to 15 minutes, until most of the juices from the meat and adobo sauce have evaporated and the meat has started to brown.

Serve with beans and rice, or use as a filling for tacos.

How can you have a New Mexico Carne Adovada recipie without the New Mexico red chili.  As a New Mexican I am appalled that the substitute was to add it and it was not featured.  This is not Carne Adovada from New Mexico  and should not be advertised as such. 

I love carne adobado (adobada).  Why hasn't New Mexican cuisine spread everywhere?  This is the first time making it.  I am fortunate to have many international grocery stores close by, so I easily could buy all of the ingredients (and then some!).  I smoked my pork the day before and used it that way.  The sauce was exactly what I expected and what I wanted.  Great recipe and anyone interested should give it a try.  Very easy.
