Steps:

• The Meat: Trim most of the fat from the meat.
• If it is a goat hindquarter cut into 2 pieces, severing it through the joint at the top of the leg.
• Place in a large, noncorrosive dish.
• The Chile Marinade: Heat a griddle or heavy skillet over medium heat.
• tea the chiles into flat pieces and toast them a few at a time, pressing them against the hot surface until they crackle and blister, then flip them over and repeat.
• Cover with boiling water, weight with a plate to keep them submerged and soak 30 minutes.
• Roast the garlic on the hot griddle until black on the outside, soft in the middle.
• Cool and peel.

• Slow steaming: Preheat the oven to 325.
• Ser a roasting rack into a deep, wide stockpot.
• Make sure the rack is 1 inch off the bottom.
• Measure in 3 cups of water then lay the marinated meat on the rack and spread any remaining marinade over it.
• Add water to the masa harina to make a soft dough.
• Roll tennis ball-size pieces between your palms to make a 3/4 inch rope, then press them gently all around the top edge of your pot.
• Set the lid in place and press it into the masa to seal.
• Bake for 3 hours.
• Finishing the broth: Break the seal by tapping the hard masa with the back of a cleaver-watch out for the steam-and take off the lid; then carefully remove the tender meat.
• Take out the rack, spoon the fat off the broth and then measure it.
• You need at least 1 quart-if necessary, add water to bring it to that level.

• Set the meat on a baking sheet, brush lightly withthe reserved chile paste glaze, then bake for 10 minutes to set the glaze.
• Either present the meat on a large platter and pass the warm broth separately, or slice the meat across the grain and serve it in deep plates, awash in the broth.
