Calabacita is a classic Tex-Mex dish that is slightly different everywhere you find it. This is my version.

Time 2h20m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons shortening
3 lbs pork chops, boned and cubed
3 -4 serrano chilies, to taste
1 large onion
2 teaspoons whole comino
4 cloves garlic
1/3 cup flour
3 lbs squash, sliced,large slices quartered (yellow or zucchini or Mexican squash)
1 can whole kernel corn, including liquid
2 cans Rotel diced tomatoes
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat shortening in Dutch oven; fry pork cubes in batches until browned.
  • Return all pork to pan.
  • Place chilies and onion in food processor container and process until chopped (or chop together by hand).
  • Slice garlic and place with cominos and salt in a mortar and pestle and grind together.
  • (The garlic and cominos and salt can be chopped in the food processor with the chilies and onion, but grinding it gives it more flavor).
  • Add all vegetables to pan with pork and cook over high heat until onion is transparent.
  • Sprinkle flour over pork and vegetables and stir to combine.
  • Cook a few minutes to remove the raw taste of the flour.
  • Add all remaining ingredients plus about 1 tomato can of water--enough so that pork and vegetables are not quite covered with liquid.
  • Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cover with a lid.
  • Cook at a simmer for about 2 hours, stirring occasionally, checking periodically and adding more water if necessary.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover pork. The zucchini and sauce add a lot of flavor to the dish. I would definitely recommend this recipe.

I'm always looking for new ways to cook zucchini. This recipe is a great option! The zucchini is cooked perfectly and the sauce is flavorful. I would definitely recommend this recipe to others.

This recipe is a great way to get kids to eat their vegetables. The zucchini is hidden in the sauce, so kids won't even know they're eating it. I would definitely recommend this recipe to parents who are struggling to get their kids to eat their vegg

I made this dish in a slow cooker and it turned out perfect! The pork was fall-apart tender and the zucchini was cooked to perfection. I would definitely recommend this recipe to anyone who loves slow cooker meals.

I'm a vegetarian, so I made this dish with tofu instead of pork. It turned out great! The tofu was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. I would definitely recommend this recipe to other vegetarians.

This recipe was too spicy for my taste. I would recommend using less chili powder.

I tried this recipe and the zucchini was not cooked through. I would recommend cooking the zucchini for a longer period of time.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I would recommend adding more spices or herbs to the sauce.
