Time 3h10m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 fresh poblano chile peppers
8 ounces bacon, chopped
1 tablespoon bacon drippings
2 pounds pork loin, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 onion, diced
10 cloves garlic, minced
2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and diced
1 teaspoon dried Mexican oregano
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon New Mexico chile powder
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
½ teaspoon kosher salt
1 bunch cilantro, chopped
8 cups chicken stock
1 (14.5 ounce) can mild red enchilada sauce
2 (29 ounce) cans white hominy, rinsed and drained

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven's broiler and set the oven rack at about 6 inches from the heat source. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place the poblano chiles cut-side-down onto the baking sheet.
  • Cook under the preheated broiler until the skin of the peppers has blackened and blistered, about 5 minutes. Place the blackened peppers into a bowl, and tightly seal with plastic wrap. Allow the peppers to steam as they cool, about 20 minutes. Once cool, remove the skins and discard. Dice the chiles.
  • Cook and stir the bacon in a large pot over medium heat until it has released its fat and is beginning to crisp, about 5 minutes. Drain the bacon on a paper towel-lined plate, and discard all but 1 tablespoon of bacon grease from the pot. Increase the heat to medium-high, and add the pork loin cubes. Cook, stirring occasionally until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Remove the pork from the pot, and reduce the heat to medium. Stir in the onion and garlic; cook and stir until the onion has softened and is beginning to turn brown, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir the roasted poblano chiles, jalapeno peppers, oregano, cumin, New Mexico chile powder, cloves, salt, and cilantro into the onions; cook for 1 minute. Pour in the chicken stock and enchilada sauce. Stir in the bacon and pork cubes, and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer 1 hour. Stir in the hominy, recover, and continue cooking 1 hour more until the pork is very tender.

KICKIN' PORTOBELLO DRESSING



Kickin' Portobello Dressing image

Thanksgiving dressing is made special with portobello mushrooms, caramelized onions, bacon and cranberries.

Provided by STORMIN32

Categories     Side Dish     Casseroles

Time 1h25m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 (1 pound) loaf French bread, cubed
1 (8 ounce) loaf Italian bread, cubed
1 pound sliced bacon, diced
3 sweet onions, chopped
2 ¼ cups chicken stock
12 ounces portobello mushroom caps, chopped
4 stalks celery with leaves, chopped
¼ cup dried cranberries
¼ cup raisins
¼ cup golden raisins
2 teaspoons dried sage
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
3 eggs, beaten
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 teaspoons salt
1 cup butter, melted

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C). Spread the bread cubes out in a single layer on rimmed baking sheets. Toast in the oven for 20 minutes, or until dry. Cool, and transfer to a large bowl.
  • Fry the bacon pieces in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp. Remove from the pan to drain on paper towels. Add onions to the pan with the bacon grease: cook and stir over medium heat until starting to turn deep brown, about 15 minutes.
  • Pour in 1/4 cup of the chicken stock, stirring to remove any bits that are stuck to the bottom of the skillet. Add the celery and mushrooms and season with sage, rosemary, salt and pepper. Drizzle this over the bread cubes, and toss to coat.
  • Pour the rest of the chicken broth over the bread and add the bacon, cranberries, raisins and golden raisins. The stuffing can be made up to this point up to 3 days in advance.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Whisk the salt and pepper in with the eggs and stir into the bread cubes. Transfer to a disposable roasting pan, or a large baking dish. Drizzle melted butter over the top and cover with aluminum foil. If stuffing a turkey, mix in the eggs and melted butter; stuff in to the cavity right before roasting.
  • Bake for 30 minutes in the preheated oven, then remove the aluminum foil and continue to bake for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, until the top is browned.

Tips:

  • Use ripe avocados. Ripe avocados are creamier and have a more intense flavor than unripe avocados.
  • Choose the right type of avocado. There are many different types of avocados, each with its flavor and texture. For guacamole, Hass avocados are the most popular choice because they have a creamy texture and a rich flavor.
  • Scoop out the avocado flesh carefully. To prevent the avocado flesh from browning, use a spoon to scoop it out of the skin. Avoid using a knife, as this can damage the flesh and cause it to brown.
  • Use fresh lime juice. Fresh lime juice adds a bright, acidic flavor to guacamole. Avoid using bottled lime juice, as it does not have the same flavor.
  • Add salt and pepper to taste. Salt and pepper help to enhance the flavor of the guacamole. Add them to taste, starting with a small amount and gradually increasing it until you reach the desired flavor.
  • Serve guacamole immediately. Guacamole is best served immediately after it is made. If you need to store it, cover it tightly with plastic wrap and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

Conclusion:

Guacamole is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. It is a popular appetizer, but it can also be used as a dip for chips, a spread for sandwiches, or a topping for tacos and burritos. With its creamy texture and rich flavor, guacamole is a surefire crowd-pleaser.
