How to Make New Mexico Style Carne Adovada
- Cut 2 lbs pork shoulder into 1 1/2-inch cubes and place in a large roasting pan.
- In a blender, combine 1 cup water, 6 cloves garlic, 1 medium onion (roughly chopped), 2 teaspoons salt, 1 teaspoon black pepper, 1 tablespoon dried oregano, 2-3 dried New Mexico chiles (adjust to your spice preference), and 2 tablespoons chili powder.
- Blend until completely smooth. Add a little more water if needed to achieve a smooth consistency.
- Pour the blended mixture over the pork cubes in the roasting pan. Toss gently to ensure all the pork is evenly coated.
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Cover the roasting pan tightly with foil or a lid.
- Bake for 1 1/2 hours, or until the pork is incredibly tender and easily pierced with a fork.
- (Optional) For a deeper flavor, remove the foil during the last 30 minutes of cooking to allow the sauce to slightly thicken and caramelize.
