World now sells roasted, peeled, and chopped New Mexico chilis, in the freezer section. Not quite as good as the real thing but so much easier that it's worth it!
3 lb boneless pork picnic roast
2 large yellow onions, diced
2 large carrots, diced
4 cups chicken broth
2 or 3 lbs frozen mild chilis - or hot if you like!
AP flour
Red and black pepper
Cumin
Salt
Garlic
Bay leaf
Mexican oregano
Minced cilantro
1). Chop the pork into bite size pieces and put in a Dutch oven with 1/4 cup stock and a bit of salt; cover and heat till fat renders;
2). Remove lid snd allow pork to brown in rendered fat;
3). Add onions and carrots, cook till onions are soft;
4). Add garlic, cook another minute or so;
5). Add 1/2 cup flour, cook, stirring constantly, about a minute;
6). Slowly whisk in stock;
7) Add seasonings, except cilantro, bring to simmer;
8). Add chillis, simmer an hour or two;
9). Just before serving, stir in a bunch of cilantro.
Serve with lime wedges, avocado, tortilla strips, or whatever Mexican garnishes you prefer - oh, and cornbread!
