Lime and Chile Roasted Pork Shoulder image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 13h40m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

10 cloves garlic
2 scallions, sliced (white and green parts)
2 tablespoons coriander seeds
1 chipotle chile in adobo plus 2 tablespoons adobo sauce
2 teaspoons cumin seeds
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 (6 to 8-pound) Boston butt pork shoulder, bone-in
4 wide strips fresh lime zest
1 cup fresh lime juice
1 cup fresh orange juice
3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 cinnamon sticks, broken up

Steps:

  • 1. Pulse the garlic, scallions, coriander, chipotle chile, cumin, 2 tablespoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper in a food processor or mini-chopper to make a thick paste. If the butcher didn't trim the fat cap on the pork shoulder, trim off all but a thin layer of fat. Make deep incisions with a paring knife, at about 2-inch intervals, all over the meat. Rub the garlic and spice mixture into and all over the meat.
  • 2. Combine the lime zest and juice, orange juice, adobo sauce, olive oil, and cinnamon in a nonreactive stainless steel or glass bowl. Add the meat, cover tightly with plastic wrap, making sure the meat is submerged. Refrigerate for at least 8 hours or up 2 days. Bring to room temperature about 1 hour before roasting.
  • 3. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Put the pork, fat-side up, in a large Dutch oven. Roast the meat, uncovered, for 30 minutes. Add the marinade to the pot and cover with the lid. Lower the temperature to 350 degrees F and roast for 2 hours more. Uncover and continue to cook, basting occasionally, until an instant read thermometer inserted into the meat registers 190 degrees F and the meat is a rich burnished brown, 1 1/2 to 2 hours more. Set aside on a cutting board to rest for 20 minutes before slicing.
  • 4. For the sauce: Strain the pan drippings through a fine mesh sieve into a gravy separator and discard all excess fat. In a small saucepan, mix the pan drippings with 1/2 cup water and bring to a vigorous boil. Slice the meat and serve with the pan drippings.

PERUVIAN PORK STEW WITH CHILES, LIME AND APPLES



Peruvian Pork Stew With Chiles, Lime and Apples image

Spicy and sweet, this Peruvian stew is rich with apples and onions and scented with chiles, lime and cloves. It's not at all difficult to make, and it takes less time than you would think, about two hours from start to finish. As you brown the pork on all sides in a pot, sauté the onions and apples with the chiles, bay leaves and cloves in another. Combine everything and braise until the pork is very tender and falling apart. If you'd like to make it in a slow cooker, put everything into the crock after browning and sautéing and turn the cooker on high. It will be ready in four to six hours.

Categories     dinner, one pot, main course

Time 1h30m

Yield at least 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons olive oil
3 to 4 pounds trimmed boneless pork shoulder, cut into 2-inch pieces
2 large white onions, chopped
4 large apples, peeled, cored and roughly chopped
3 snipped and seeded ancho or other mild dried chiles
3 bay leaves
Pinch of ground cloves
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
4 cups chicken stock
Steamed rice for serving
1/4 cup chopped cilantro

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a skillet and brown the pork in it on all sides; you may have to do this in batches for the most efficient browning. Meanwhile, sauté the onions and apples in a pan with the chiles, bay leaves and cloves until the onions are tender, about 10 minutes.
  • Combine all the ingredients in a saucepan, Dutch oven or slow cooker. Bring to a boil, then adjust the heat so the mixture bubbles steadily but not vigorously. (If you're using a slow cooker, turn it to high and walk away for 4 or 6 hours.)
  • Cook, stirring every 30 minutes or so, until the meat is very tender and just about falling apart, at least an hour. Taste and adjust the seasoning, then lower the heat (this will keep well for at least an hour before serving). Remove the meat, then reduce the broth as necessary; serve over steamed rice, garnished with cilantro.
