ASADO DE PUERCO (MEXICAN PORK STEW)
An authentic Mexican pork stew made with dried chiles, no chili powder here! The guajillo chiles add a very smoky flavor while the ancho chiles add a touch of smoky sweetness. To add another level of flavor, we always top our puerco asado with sliced onions marinated in fresh lemon juice.

Steps:
- Combine pork cubes, 1/2 cup water, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a Dutch oven. Cover and cook over medium heat for 20 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes. Uncover, increase heat to medium-high and cook, stirring constantly, until water evaporates. Continue cooking until the pork browns in its rendered fat, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, cut tops off the dried chiles and remove seeds. Heat chiles in a large skillet over low heat until they start to soften. Do not toast. Place chiles in a bowl of hot water and soak for 20 minutes.
- Remove pork and set aside. Do not wash, wipe out, or clean the Dutch oven.
- Transfer chiles to a blender, reserving soaking water. Add cilantro, chicken bouillon, peppercorns, garlic, cinnamon stick, Mexican oregano, thyme, cumin seeds, bay leaves, and cloves. Pour in 1 cup soaking water and blend until smooth. Add 1 more cup soaking water, season with salt, and blend until completely smooth.
- Melt lard in the Dutch oven. Carefully add blended chile mixture and scrape up all browned bits. Bring to a boil and add pork. Reduce heat and cover partially, leaving about 1 inch open. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until sauce has thickened and reaches the desired consistency, 15 to 20 minutes.

PORK ASADO
This recipe is a bit different from the Chinese variation. My Mother in Law taught me how to make this dish which was handed down from her Mother in Law and my husband requests it often. It's one of those comforting dishes that will become a staple.

Steps:
- Cut the pork into 1/2 inch cubes removing any fat. Heat a large pot on medium high and fry the pork allowing it to fry in its own juices. After the meat is browned on all sides, turn the heat to medium low and cover stirring occasional until the meat is fork tender, about 45 minutes.
- Then, add the flour to the pork and stir lightly browning the flour for 2 minutes. Finally, add the tomato sauce, all of the spices and water. Stir to combine and cook on medium heat just until the sauce thickens. Add more garlic salt to taste and chile powder if needed. Also, if sauce gets too thick, you can add another 1/4 cup water until the sauce has the consistency you like. It should resemble a runny gravy.
