Red Chile Pork

The perfect taco filling. Tender and absolutely delicious!

Active Time: 30 minutes Total Time: 3 hours

Makes about 12 servings

3pounds boneless pork shoulder or pork butt

1 tablespoon kosher salt

1 tablespoon chili powder

½ teaspoon dried oregano

1bay leaf

1cinnamon stick

½teaspoon ground cumin

¼ teaspoon cayenne

4 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed

1.Cut the shoulder into large chunks; and place in a large mixing bowl.

2.Put the remaining ingredients together and then rub over the meat. Cover and let rest in the refrigerator overnight to marinate.

3.Transfer the meat, with the spices, to the baking tray and put in the oven with the rack in the lower rack position. Set to Bake Steam at 350°F for 75 minutes when time expires, reset to 225°F for an additional 45 minutes on Bake Steam.

4.Allow pork to rest in oven until cool enough to handle. Remove the baking tray carefully to avoid spilling any of the braising liquid.

5.Remove and discard bay leaf, cinnamon stick and garlic. Using your hands (wearing gloves is recommended!), shred pork into bite-size pieces. This can now be used as a filling for tamales (page 11), tacos, burritos or served over rice with vegetables. Pair with our Red Chile Sauce (recipe follows) for extra flavor. Note: If using as filling for tamales we recommend mixing in 1 cup of red chile sauce. Follow tamale instructions and masa dough recipe on pages 11-12.
