ASADO DE PUERCO (MEXICAN PORK STEW)
An authentic Mexican pork stew made with dried chiles, no chili powder here! The guajillo chiles add a very smoky flavor while the ancho chiles add a touch of smoky sweetness. To add another level of flavor, we always top our puerco asado with sliced onions marinated in fresh lemon juice.

Steps:
- Combine pork cubes, 1/2 cup water, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a Dutch oven. Cover and cook over medium heat for 20 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes. Uncover, increase heat to medium-high and cook, stirring constantly, until water evaporates. Continue cooking until the pork browns in its rendered fat, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, cut tops off the dried chiles and remove seeds. Heat chiles in a large skillet over low heat until they start to soften. Do not toast. Place chiles in a bowl of hot water and soak for 20 minutes.
- Remove pork and set aside. Do not wash, wipe out, or clean the Dutch oven.
- Transfer chiles to a blender, reserving soaking water. Add cilantro, chicken bouillon, peppercorns, garlic, cinnamon stick, Mexican oregano, thyme, cumin seeds, bay leaves, and cloves. Pour in 1 cup soaking water and blend until smooth. Add 1 more cup soaking water, season with salt, and blend until completely smooth.
- Melt lard in the Dutch oven. Carefully add blended chile mixture and scrape up all browned bits. Bring to a boil and add pork. Reduce heat and cover partially, leaving about 1 inch open. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until sauce has thickened and reaches the desired consistency, 15 to 20 minutes.

MEXICAN PORK STEW
I originally received this recipe from a friend. To add a little zip, I stirred in some green chilies. This Southwestern-style stew is super!

MEXICAN PORK STEW
" I love Mexican food. Love the complexity of the sauces, the abundant use of fresh ingredients, the subtle heat of the spices. I have tweaked and honed these recipes over the years. Each is absolutely perfect. Each calls for the dishes to be made from scratch" Says Ralph Robert Moore from his web site,ralphrobertmoore.com. I'm sharing his Mexican Pork Stew with you today.

Steps:
- Heat oil in a Dutch oven. Dredge pork cubes in seasoned flour, brown on all sides. Set aside.
- NOTE: "Brown" means "brown." Don't remove the pork cubes when they're merely gray (the biggest mistake home cooks make when they're browning meat for a stew.) The pork cubes should be browned to where they look like they could be eaten as is.
- Add onion, garlic, and Anaheims. Cook until onion softens, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add seasonings and bay leaf. Cook 1 minute.
- Deglaze with ½ cup chicken broth. Return the pork to the Dutch oven. Add the remaining chicken broth, chopped tomatoes, and refried beans.
- Bring to a boil, reduce heat, simmer with lid off for two hours.
- Can be served on the plate as a stew, with heated flour tortillas to sop up all the goodness, or can be used to make burritos. Just add an appropriate amount of stew in a line across the center of a heated flour tortilla, sprinkle on top of the stew some shredded iceberg lettuce and chopped fresh tomatoes, and place at either end of the line sour cream and guacamole.
- To increase the heat, add more Anaheims. To increase it further, add more chili powder (but try increasing the heat first by adding more Anaheims.).
