-
Place the pork in an oiled baking dish, ensuring it’s evenly spread out for even cooking and flavor absorption.
-
While the oven preheats and the pork settles in the dish, prepare the chiles by rinsing them thoroughly. Once cleaned, spread them out in a single layer on a sheet pan and roast in the preheated oven for about 5 minutes, just until they become fragrant.
-
Allow the roasted chiles to cool slightly, then break them into smaller pieces for easier blending.
-
In a food processor or blender, puree half of the roasted chile pods with 1 cup of stock until smooth and well combined.
-
Repeat the process with the remaining chile pods and stock, gradually adding in the rest of the ingredients, including onions, garlic cloves, cider vinegar, oregano, ground coriander, and salt. Blend until you achieve a rich, flavorful sauce.
-
Pour the prepared sauce over the pork in the baking dish, ensuring it’s evenly distributed and coats the meat thoroughly.
-
Toss the meat gently in the sauce to ensure every piece is well coated and infused with the delicious flavors of the adovada sauce.
-
Cover the baking dish with a lid or aluminum foil to seal in the moisture and flavors, then place it in the preheated oven.
-
Allow the carne adovada to bake at 300ยฐF (150ยฐC) for approximately 3 hours, or until the pork is tender and succulent. This slow cooking process allows the flavors to meld together and the meat to become incredibly tender.
-
After 3 hours of baking, check the consistency of the sauce. If it’s too watery for your liking, you can bake the dish uncovered for an additional 15-30 minutes to thicken it up to your desired consistency.
-
Once done, remove the carne adovada from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. The aroma of the spices and the tenderness of the pork will surely tantalize your taste buds.
-
Serve your homemade carne adovada hot with your favorite accompaniments, such as warm tortillas, rice, beans, or fresh salsa. Enjoy the burst of flavors and the comforting warmth of this traditional Mexican dish!
