Ingredients Image
 3 lbs pork shoulder, cut into 1 inch chunks
 1 roughly chopped onions
 2 garlic cloves, chopped
 1 qt fresh Anaheim, hatch or pueblo chiles, roasted, peeled, and cut into large strips.
 2 cups fresh salsa
 2 dried hot chiles
 2 boxes of chicken stock
 salt and pepper to taste
The Chili
1

Salt & pepper pork. Coat large pot with peanut oil (something that takes heat) and when hot, brown pork on high.

2

Remove pork and drain fat.

3

Put onions and garlic with a little water in the pan, and with wooden spoon or spatula scrape up and incorporate the browned bits. Turn heat to medium. 

4

When onions and garlic are soft, add the pork, chiles, salsa, and stock. 

5

Turn up heat and bring to boil and then turn down to simmer. 

6

Skim fat off and stir as needed. Cook until pork is soft and yummy. Keep poking a fork in to see how it is. You have to catch it in 2-3 hours or go much longer (6-7 hours). 

Thickening
7

Mix 2 to 3 tablespoons of flour to a bit of the liquid from the chili, and mix until uniformly pasty.

8

Add the flour liquid mixture to the chili and cook for about 10 minutes more.
