Monday, 26 May 2008
DescriptionThis simple but tasty dish evolved from the need to preserve meat without refrigeration since chile acts as an antioxidant and prevents the meat from spoiling. It is a very common restaurant entree in New Mexico. Note: This recipe requires advance preparation. IngredientsAt a glance

Methods/stepsCombine the chile, garlic, oregano, and the water and mix well to make a "caribe" sauce. Place the pork in a glass pan and cover with the chile caribe sauce. Marinate the pork overnight in the refrigerator. Bake the marinated pork, uncovered, in a 300°F oven for 2 hours or until the pork is very tender and starts to fall apart. You may have to add a little water to keep the pork from burning. Serving Suggestions: Place the Carne Adovada in a flour tortilla to make a burrito, use it as a stuffing for sopaipillas, or use it as filling for enchiladas. If you add chopped potatoes during the last hour of baking, the dish becomes a sort of stew.
