I looked at several Carne Adovada recipes and pulled the best bits from all of them and then reworked it for the slow cooker.
Serve this on corn tortillas garnished with queso fresco, cilantro and sauteed onions. Enjoy!
Remove stems from pasilla-ancho chilies. Snip or break apart and place in a microwave safe measuring cup or bowl... You will need about 4 cups of space towork with.
Add chicken stock to measuring cup with peppers and lightly cover with a paper towel or plastic wrap
Microwave on high for 2 minutes and then let stand.
Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in heavy skillet or dutch oven
Depending on the size and shape of pork, cut into large chunks so you will be left with nice shreds after it has cooked.
Pat pork dry and place in pan and leave it for 6 to 8 minutes to brown... No need to turn it we just want some of that flavor.
After it has browned, place it in the crockpot
Now place sliced onions in skillet and saute until tender and golden... 6 to 10 minutes
While sauteeing onions.... add Orange Juice concentrate, 3 to 4 canned adobo peppers with sauce (depends how spicy you like it), 1/2 cup raisins, vinegar, fish sauce, oregano, cumin and garlic to cup or bowl with rehydrated peppers.
Use either and immersion blender or stand blender to turn this mixture into a thick sauce. (Caution)
You can easily pepper spray yourself with this step.... Be careful when blending because it can create a hot peppery mist that will burn your eyes and lungs.... I use an immersion blender and wrap plastic wrap around the jar I am mixing everything in so no gas or liquid can escape.
Once mixed... Add sauce, cinnamon sticks and bay leaves to slow cooker.
You can lay the sauteed onions on top.
Cook on low for 7 to 8 hours...
Gently use a fork to break the pork into large hunks
Place in a warmed corn tortilla with the onions, cilantro and queso fresco... Enjoy!!
