????I'm Stephanie and behind the camera, you have my sister Cloud. I started cooking at 4 years of age. What?! Yes (LOL) I pulled up a chair and my first choice was to fry an egg. I was hungry and that’s all I have to say about that experience. I would like to say I’m completely self-taught in the kitchen, but I have the lovely women in my family to thank. They taught me to honor my ancestors and to make my Mexican Cuisine comfortable for my home. I thank our creator for my curiosity and my never-ending search for the next gastronomic satiation. Cooking is a huge part of my daily life as I prepare breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks for my two American Korean/Mexican boys. I know who does that these days? Me, I homeschool my two boys and I’m grateful for every moment spent. ❤️ If you love our spectacular homemade recipes, Please take the time to Subscribe and support our channel.

How to Make New Mexico Style Chili Verde!!!
Roasted Chilies, Onions, Garlic, Spices, and Pork Shoulder! All cooked down together for hours to create a beautiful blend of flavors that make up New Mexico Style Chili Verde, or Green Chili. Its easy to make, and oh so very delicious!
New Mexico Style Chili Verde
4 pounds Pork Shoulder, cubed in 2 inch pieces
3 medium onions, sliced
1 head garlic, peeled and rough chop
1 bunch cilantro, rough chop
5-6 sprigs fresh oregano, or 1 Tbsp dry
1 Tbsp whole Cumin
1 Tbsp whole Coriander
3 Bay leaves
3 Anaheim or Hatch Chilies
3 Poblano Chilies
1 Jalapeño (if yo want more heat)
4 cups Chicken Stock
salt and pepper
Roast your chilies over an open flame on your gas stove, or grill. Or you can do them under the broiler, turning them to make sure they get charred bald all the way around. Transfer to a bowl and cover in plastic wrap. Let steam for 20-30 minces, then peel and remove seeds and pith, chop.
Heat a heavy bottomed pan like a Dutch oven, over medium high heat, and adda splash of oil. Season your pork well with salt and pepper, then working in batches, brown the pork on all sides. Transfer to a plate, and continue to brown all the pork.
In a dry saute pan, toast the coriander and cumin till just fragrant, grind to a powder in a coffee grinder or mortar and pestle.
Once all the pork has been browned, add your onions, garlic, and bay leaves to the pan. Saute for 5 minutes till the onion have just started to soften. Add the oregano, cilantro, and dry spices to the pan, and saute for 2 minutes. Add the roasted and chopped chilies (and jalapeño if using), stir to incorporate.
Add the pork and all juices back to the pan, add with the chicken stock and cover teh pan with a lid. Transfer to a 250 degree oven and cook for 3 hours.
Remove the pan from teh oven, and using two forks, shred the pork.
Serve with fresh cilantro on top, and cornbread on the side!

THE BEST CARNE ADOVADA RECIPE: Delicious, Fork Tender, Braised Pork in New Mexico Red Chile
Whether you spell it ADOVADA or ADOBADA, this delicious, fork tender, braised pork in New Mexico red chile is one of my absolute favorite recipes. It's also one many of you have requested. And while there are many ways to make Carne Adovada, this is how I like it best. If you start with good chile, you don't need to add a whole lot of other ingredients to it. Read on for the recipe.
Carne Adovada
5 lbs. pork butt/shoulder, cut into 2 pieces
1-12 New Mexico red chile pods (choose hot, medium, or mild)
4-5 garlic cloves
1 Tbsp. Mexican oregano
1 Tbsp. cumin
salt to taste
2 bay leaves
*flour, optional
Cut pork meat into 2 pieces, season with salt, cover and place in refrigerator while you make the chile sauce.
Remove stems and seeds from chile pods. Rinse quickly to remove any dirt. place in bowl and pour very hot water over chile pods. (I like to boil water for this part.) Let sit approx. 15 minutes so that chile rehydrates and softens. Drain water from chile, but reserve chile water for later. Place chile in blender, along with garlic, oregano, cumin, and about 1 tsp. salt. Add between 2 and 2 1/2 cups of the chile water and blend until sauce is completely smooth. (You will not have to run your chile through a sieve if you blend long enough.) Set chile aside.
In a large dutch oven (or oven-safe pot with a lid), place enough oil to coat the bottom of the pan and heat on stovetop at medium high. If you choose, coat pork meat with a sprinkling of flour before frying them in pot. You don't need to cook fully, just enough to brown all the sides. Then pour in the chile sauce. Let it reach a boil. Place bay leaves on top, cover and lower heat. Let it continue to simmer 10-15 minutes. Meantime, preheat your oven to 325º.
Then place your pot in the oven, with the lid on, and let the carne adovada braise for 2-3 hours. The longer you leave it, the more tender the meat will be.
