RED CHILE PORK CUTLETS, CERVANTES STYLE: CHULETAS DE SERDO EN CHILE ROJO, ESTILLO CERVANTES



Red Chile Pork Cutlets, Cervantes Style: Chuletas de Serdo en Chile Rojo, Estillo Cervantes image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 3h8m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 pounds pork loin, trimmed and cut into 1/2inch cutlets
Red Chile Sauce Marinade, recipe follows
1 (16-ounce) jar of your favorite ready-to-servered chile sauce,(recommended: Cervantes Red Chile Sauce)
6 sprigs cilantro
1 pound sun-ripened New Mexico red chile pods, dried
1/4 teaspoon Mexican oregano
1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic
1 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • In a shallow pan, place the pork cutlets in a single layer. Pour 3/4 of the chile sauce marinade evenly over the meat, cover, and refrigerate at least 2 hours before grilling. For more intense chile flavor, marinate overnight.
  • Preheat grill on high. Reduce heat to 375 degrees F and place the marinated pork cutlets on the grill. Reserve the marinade for basting throughout the cooking process. Cook each side 2 to 4 minutes, depending on the thickness of each cutlet. Baste the pork with the marinade on each side before turning.
  • Remove pork cutlets from grill and set aside. Ladle about 2 ounces of the ready to serve Red Chile Sauce on each plate. Place the pork in the center of the plate and drizzle additional red chile sauce over the meat. Garnish with a sprig of cilantro and serve with your choice of calabacitas, papitas, pinto beans, or Spanish rice. The pork can also be cut into strips after grilling and wrapped in a warm flour tortilla as a burrito.
  • Remove the stems, seeds and white veins of the New Mexico red chile pods. Rinse and place the cleaned pods in a large bowl or saucepan and add enough hot water to cover the red chile pods. Soak for 30 minutes to 1 hour. When the pods are completely reconstituted, they should appear bright red and plump. Remove the chile pods with tongs and place in a blender with the water they were soaking in. Leave about 1-inch space or more in the blender container. Add the oregano, garlic, and salt. Blend for 2 minutes. If sauce is too thick, add more water and blend until mixture is smooth.

PORK CHILE VERDE WITH RED CHILE SALSA



Pork Chile Verde with Red Chile Salsa image

Home turf: New Mexico Local flavor: Southwestern-style chili is all about the chiles (with an "e"), as in this pillar of regional cooking, chile verde. The chiles are green and mild (New Mexico's famous hatch chiles are perfect), and the meat is pork. Tangy tomatillos balance the chiles and coat the slow-cooked pork. To up the regional cred, serve it "Christmas" style-with a combo of green and red chiles. Make it a meal: Serve with warm corn tortillas, avocado and spinach salad with honey-lime vinaigrette, and a dark beer like Negra Modelo (Mexico, $8 per six-pack). If you can find it, use dried Mexican oregano in this recipe. It has a smoky flavor that dried Mediterranean oregano doesn't have. Look for it at Latin markets.

Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 cups (or more) chicken broth, divided
1 pound tomatillos, husked, rinsed, cut into 1/2-inch wedges, divided
1 bunch green onions, coarsely chopped
1 1/2 cups (packed) fresh cilantro with tender stems
Olive oil
6 garlic cloves, peeled
1 4- to 4 1/2-pound pork shoulder (Boston butt), trimmed, cut into 1 1/2-inch cubes
1 large onion, chopped (about 2 cups)
1 tablespoon cumin seeds
3/4 cup diced roasted peeled seeded mild green chiles (such as Hatch or Anaheim)
2 teaspoons dried oregano (preferably Mexican)
1 pound yukon gold potatoes, peeled, cut into 3/4-inch cubes chopped
Fresh cilantro
Red chile salsa
Ingredient info: Look for tomatillos (green, tomato-like fruits with papery husks) at supermarkets and Latin markets.

Steps:

  • Puree 2 cups chicken broth, 1/4 of tomatillos, green onions, cilantro with stems, and garlic in blender. Set salsa verde aside.
  • Brush heavy large pot with oil; heat over medium-high heat. Sprinkle pork with salt and pepper. Working in batches, add pork to pot; cook until browned, turning occasionally, about 4 minutes per batch. Using slotted spoon, transfer pork to bowl. Pour off all but 1 tablespoon fat from pot (add oil if needed). Add onion to pot; sauté until soft, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle cumin seeds over; cook until onion is golden and cumin is toasted, about 2 minutes. Add remaining tomatillos; cook until tender and browned in spots, stirring occasionally and reducing heat to medium if browning too quickly, about 8 minutes. Return pork and any juices to pot. Add 2 cups reserved salsa verde, 1 cup broth, chiles, and oregano. Cover; simmer over medium-low heat until pork is tender, about 2 hours. DO AHEAD: Can be made 3 days ahead. Cool slightly. Chill uncovered until cold, then cover and keep chilled. Bring to simmer before continuing.
  • Add potatoes to pork. Simmer until potatoes are tender, about 30 minutes. Stir in remaining salsa verde; bring to simmer. Thin with additional broth, if desired. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Divide chile verde among bowls. Top with cilantro and dollop of red chile salsa.

PORK CHOPS WITH RED CHILE PEPPER SAUCE

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield Yield: 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

10 to 12 loin pork chops, medium thick cut with bone
3 jalapeno peppers
2 tablespoons solid vegetable shortening or lard
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/2 cup water
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 cloves garlic
2 (15-ounce) cans whole peeled tomatoes, 2 whole tomatoes reserved and 1/4 cup liquid reserved for Spanish Rice

Steps:

  • Wash pork chops and set on paper towels to dry. Roast whole jalapenos on the comal or in a cast iron skillet until all sides are toasted, approximately 10 minutes.
  • Wet a small tea towel, then wrap the jalapenos in the tea towel and let them rest for 20 minutes. (This will help to soften them for peeling)
  • While peppers rest, heat shortening in large cast iron skillet on medium-high.
  • Cut pork chops into small and medium pieces (the sections with bone will be bigger). Season both sides of chops with kosher salt, garlic powder and crushed black pepper. Cook pork chops in skillet for about 15 to 20 minutes, periodically adding water to steam. Pork is done when chops have caramelized and water has evaporated.
  • Take peppers out of tea towel and peel off skin. Cut off the ends of the peppers and place, one at a time in a food processor, and grind down with the salt and garlic. Add 1 tomato at a time (from the 2 cans of tomatoes), and grind all ingredients until sauce forms. Taste to determine if more salt is needed. Add the sauce to the pan with pork chops and simmer on low heat, uncovered, for about 10 to 15 minutes.

PORK CHILE ROJO (PULLED PORK WITH RED CHILE SAUCE)



Pork Chile Rojo (Pulled Pork with Red Chile Sauce) image

My grandmother called this recipe 'Pork Chili Verde' when she originally told me about it. But...it's red, not green. I'm not sure if she saw a recipe that called for green salsa and she put in the red or if it was really called something else. Whatever the story, I've made it a couple of times now and absolutely love it. It gets better every time! Slow cooking the roast in an oven roasting bag makes the meat so tender! Serve the pork with tortillas or hard taco shells.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of pork: A fatty cut like pork shoulder or pork butt is best for pulled pork, as it will become tender and juicy during the cooking process.
  • Sear the pork before braising: Searing the pork before braising helps to develop flavor and color.
  • Use a flavorful braising liquid: The braising liquid is what will give the pulled pork its flavor, so use a liquid that you enjoy the taste of. Common choices include chicken broth, beef broth, or a combination of the two. You can also add spices, herbs, and vegetables to the braising liquid for extra flavor.
  • Cook the pork until it is fall-apart tender: The pork should be cooked until it is fall-apart tender, which will take about 2-3 hours. You can check the pork for doneness by inserting a fork or toothpick into the meat. If it comes out easily, the pork is done.
  • Shred the pork: Once the pork is cooked, remove it from the braising liquid and shred it using two forks.
  • Make the red chile sauce: While the pork is cooking, you can make the red chile sauce. There are many different recipes for red chile sauce, but most of them include ingredients like dried chiles, tomatoes, garlic, and onions.

Conclusion:

Pork Chile Rojo Pulled Pork is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a party or a weeknight meal. The pork is braised in a flavorful red chile sauce until it is fall-apart tender, and then it is shredded and served with tortillas, rice, or beans.
