Don't be alarmed by the full cup of ground red chile powder; New Mexican red chiles are relatively mild. The stew is warming but never gets too spicy. In New Mexico, you can find carne adovada on breakfast menus, which may well be one of the best things about New Mexico. The New Mexican dish carne adovada is based off of a Mexican cooking process called adobada (or sometimes enchilada) which is a general term that means to cook something in an adobo sauce—a sauce made with chilies, flavored with a few aromatics and vinegar.

Instructions to make Carne Adovada:
  1. De-seed the chiles, and cut into 1 inch pieces. Steep in 4 cups boiling water for 30 minutes. Drain, but save 2 cups of the liquid. Add chiles to a blender.
  2. Add the 1 tbsp of kosher salt to the pork cubes and refrigerate 1 hour.
  3. To the chiles in the blender (see step 1), add ALL remaining ingredients (garlic through cayenne). Blend to thick paste (30 seconds). Slowly blend in 1 cup of the reserved chile water on high. Blend in 1/4 cup more until a medium thick sauce.
  4. Add pork and sauce from the blender to a Dutch Oven. Mix well to coat all pork with sauce. Bring to boil.
  5. Cover Dutch Oven and bake at 325 degrees for 2 1/2 hours. When finished, Stir well and scrape down all the crusty bits from the sides of pot.
  6. Serve with lime wedges, cilantro and corn tortillas.

Serve carne adovada with a flour tortilla, a simple salad and some beans or rice (if you choose), and you have yourself a deliciously hearty and spicy meal.
