Ingredients

2 pounds pork shoulder, cut into 1-inch cubes

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 large onion, chopped

4 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons ground cumin

1 teaspoon dried oregano leaves

2 cups chicken broth or water

6 ounces canned diced green chiles

8 ounces canned tomato sauce

3 tablespoons red chile powder

Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Directions

Add dried chiles to large heavy-bottomed Dutch oven or stock pot and cook over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until slightly darkened with intense, roasted aroma, 2 to 5 minutes. Do not allow to smoke. Add chicken stock, raisins, orange juice concentrate, chipotles in adobo, white vinegar, and fish sauce. Bring to a boil over high heat, reduce to a bare simmer, and let cook until chilies are totally softened, about 15 minutes. Blend into a smooth puree using an immersion blender or by transferring to a countertop blender. Set aside.
