Pork Or Chicken Adobada Recipes

PORK ADOBADA CHILE - MARINATED PORK

Steps:

• If using the chiles, tear them open and remove the veins and seeds. Soak the chiles in the vinegar for 30 minutes, or until soft.
• Combine the chiles (or chile powder), vinegar, garlic, salt, pepper, oregano, cinnamon, and cloves in a blender and process to a smooth, wet paste.
• Cut the pork chops in half without cutting all the way through. Spread each piece of pork with the adobo mixture and stack in a nonreactive baking dish. Cover and let marinate, in the refrigerator, for 4 to 6 hours.
• Preheat the grill to high.
• When ready to grill, oil the grill grate. Arrange the slices on the hot grate and grill, turning with tongs, until nicely browned and cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes per side.
• Serve immediately, accompanied by tortillas, guacamole, and salsa, wrapping the pork and condiments in the tortillas.

PORK ADOBADA

Steps:

• In a hot skillet (cast iron if you have it), toast the chiles until they begin to dance around on the skillet and bubble. Turn them often so they don't burn.
• Transfer to a saucepan, add vinegar and water, and bring to a boil. Simmer for 20 minutes.
• While the chiles are boiling, put the onion, garlic and chicken stock in the slow cooker.
• In a small bowl, mix together the orange juice, brown sugar, tomato paste and flour. Add to the slow cooker.
• When the chiles are softened, place in a blender with 1 cup of the liquid. Blend until it forms a thick paste. Stir this paste into the slow cooker.
• Add the pork and stir well. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours. Add salt and pepper to taste and serve with warm tortillas.
