Carne Adovada Ingredients

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    Start by removing the stems and seeds from the dried chiles. Place them in a bowl and cover with hot water. Let them soak for about 15 minutes until softened.

  2. 2

    Blend the Marinade

    In a blender, combine the soaked chiles, garlic cloves, cumin seeds, oregano, vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth.

  3. 3

    Marinate the Pork

    Cut the pork shoulder into large chunks and place it in a bowl. Pour the marinade over the pork, ensuring it is well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

  4. 4

    Cook the Pork

    In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the marinated pork and sear on all sides until browned. Add water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about 2 hours until the pork is tender.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Once the pork is tender, shred it using two forks. Serve the carne adovada on a platter with sides like rice, beans, or tortillas.
