All this prep required a good lunch after getting thing in the smoker.
So I made up some quesadillas with the pork mixture.
Homemade Red Chile Sauce
This is a beautiful, robust and spicy red chile sauce
1T Oil or bacon grease
2T finely minced onion
2t finely minced garlic
2T flour
1t cumin
1/2t Mexican oregano, crushed
2-4T sugar, to taste
1-2T salt, to taste
3T each Guajillo and Arbol chile powders
1T Ancho chile powder
(Yes, I'm cheating not using whole chile pods, powders are much more convenient.)
2.5C Chicken or Beef stock
Lime or Lemon juice, to taste (optional)
In a medium sauce pan add the oil and saute the onion and garlic.
Add in the flour, cook to form a roux.
In a separate bowl combine stock and chile powders, whisk well to avoid clumps
Combine with roux and whisk well to avoid clumps
Heat to a low simmer and add salt, cumin, Mexican oregano, sugar and lemon to desired taste and continue the low simmer for 5-10 minutes.
If desired work sauce through a wire mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove any solids.
Or you can further puree in a blender or food processor.
