Categories     Pork     Dinner

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/4 cup vegetable oil
4 1/2 pounds trimmed boneless pork shoulder, cut into 2-inch pieces
Salt and freshly ground pepper
2 large white onions, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
8 garlic cloves, smashed
1 pound carrots, cut crosswise into 2-inch lengths
3 ancho chiles, seeded and cut into very thin strips with scissors
3 bay leaves
Pinch of ground cloves
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
6 cups chicken stock
6 plum tomatoes, quartered lengthwise
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
Steamed white rice and sliced jalapeƱos, for serving

Steps:

  • In a very large enameled cast-iron casserole, heat the vegetable oil until shimmering. Season the pork with salt and black pepper and add half of it to the casserole. Cook over moderate heat, turning, until browned all over, about 10 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the pork to a plate. Brown the remaining pork. Return all of the pork to the casserole along with any accumulated juices. Stir in the onions, garlic, carrots, chiles, bay leaves, cloves, lime juice and chicken stock. Season with salt and pepper and bring to a boil. Add the tomatoes, nestling them into the liquid. Cover and cook over low heat until the pork is very tender and the carrots are cooked through, about 3 hours. Discard the bay leaves and stir in the cilantro. Serve with rice and sliced jalapeƱos. Make Ahead The stew can be refrigerated for up to 3 days. Reheat before serving.

I was a bit hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of spicy food, but I'm so glad I did! The ancho chiles added just the right amount of heat, and the flavor was amazing.

I made this stew last night and it was delicious! The only change I made was to use chicken instead of pork, and it turned out great.
