Ingredients
- 3 pounds pork shoulder cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 bay leaf
- 6 guajillo chile stems and seeds removed, dried
- 3 ancho chile stems and seeds removed, dried
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon cumin ground
- 2 teaspoons oregano dried, Mexican
- 1 teaspoon thyme dried
- 1 white onion chopped, medium
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- orange juice juice of 1 orange
- salt to taste
Instructions
- Place the pork in a large pot. Add water to cover the pork and add bay leaves. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 1 hour until pork is tender.
- In a separate bowl, cover the guajillo and ancho chiles with boiling water. Let them steep for 20 minutes to soften.
- Drain the chiles and transfer to a blender. Add garlic, cumin, oregano, thyme, chopped onion, and 1 cup of fresh water. Blend until smooth.
- In the pot with the tender pork, increase heat to medium-high and add vegetable oil. Pour the chile sauce over the pork. Add orange juice and salt to taste. Simmer for 30 minutes until the sauce thickens and flavors meld.
