From Epicurious: a deliciously thick stew that comes off like a cross between chili con carne and a double-cut pork chop, making this a tastier alternative to the standard tailgate bowl of red. The chipotle chili peppers give the dish a pleasantly smoky flavor with plenty of fiery aftertaste. Read more . It might take a few batches of this dish to dial in the heat levels, so test it first on your most macho chili-head buddies. Ingredients:
2 tablespoons olive or vegetable oil |
1 1/2 pounds boneless pork shoulder, cut into one-inch cubes |
2 medium onions, diced |
1 (12-ounce) bottle or can beer |
5 to 7 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce plus 3 tablespoons adobo sauce |
2 teaspoons ground cumin, or to taste |
salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste |
Directions:
1. Heat a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat until very hot, about two minutes.
2. Add the oil. Add the pork and cook, in batches if necessary, until browned on all sides.
3. Transfer the pork to a bowl and set aside.
4. Reduce the heat to low.
5. Add the onions, stirring to scrape up the browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
6. Cover with a tight-fitting lid and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are golden and slightly browned around the edges, about 10 minutes.
7. Add the reserved pork, beer, chipotles, adobo sauce, cumin, salt, and pepper; stir until combined.
8. Simmer, covered, stirring occasionally, until the pork is fork-tender, about 1 1/2 hours.
