    I'm pasty white and needed this written out. In case anyone else needs it.
    Chile Mix:
    Add to pot of water (4 to 6 cups)
    15 Guajillo chilies
    3 Ancho chiles
    3 Chile Arbol peppers
    Quarter to half of an onion
    6 garlic cloves
    1 cinnamon stick
    1 bay leaf
    4 cloves (Clavo / Clavo Entero)
    1/2 tsp Oregano
    Bring to a simmer, let cool 5-6 minutes
    Make Adobo
    Discard bay leaf from chile mix
    Transfer remaining solid ingriedients to blender
    Add 1/2 Cup of chile water mix to blender
    Add:
    6 oz Pineapple juice
    1 Tablespoon of Salt,Pepper, Garlic (OG, Pit Master brand)
    1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
    2 tablespoons of achiote
    2 chipolte peppers in Adobo
    Blend - Add chile mix water (1st step) as needed to thin Adobo enough to strain
    Strain Adobo into container (tedious)
    Cook
    Line hot griddle / skillet in lard
    Add 1 pound ground pork
    Cook until pork roasts (this happens fast)
    Reduce heat, add adobo as desired (top with pineapple if desired)
    Simmer for 5 minutes
    Check temperature
    Eat until your sick. Repeat.

    Arnie, whatever the Pork Board is paying you, tell ‘em to pay you more! This recipe is so good you’re selling pork in Australia mate! I just served a slightly modified version of this (it’s hard to get certain specific chillies locally) to the family, and it went down a treat 👍🏼

  • @gregorskiff
    @gregorskiff Рік тому +24

    The guajillo and other peppers can have a very thick and tough skin, a vertical crushing type juicer makes quick work of them and can eliminate the straining step.
    I use an old Omega vert juicer for salsas, fresh and canned peppers.
    You can run everything for a salsa through the juicer then add separated solids back in or leave them out.

Thanks for yhe awesome recipe, my wife and I just had this diced /cut up pork style, and although it was good, my wife likes ground meat (less gristle and chewing in her opinion) so this works perfectly.

    Arnie, I notice you use the fine mesh strainer a lot for your sauces. Have you ever tried a food mill? I find you can strain sauces 3-4 times faster, and you shouldn't have to worry about how thick the sauce is before you strain it.

    • @ArnieTex
      @ArnieTex  Рік тому +13
