Chipotle Mexican Grill Braised Pork Shoulder Recipe

• 1 (6 lb) pork shoulder, boneless
• 2 -3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 onion, thinly sliced
• 4 medium tomatoes
• 4 -6 garlic cloves
• 1/2 - 1 teaspoon cumin powder
• 2 -4 sprigs fresh oregano
• 2 whole cloves
• 2 bay leaves
• 2 dried chipotle chiles
• 3/4 cup water or 3/4 cup meat stock
• salt and pepper

1. Generously salt and pepper the pork shoulder; let meat come to room temperature, about 2 hours.
2. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
3. Add olive oil to a large ovenproof pan. Sear the pork over medium-high heat until very brown on all sides. Remove pork from the pan; let rest on a platter for 10 to 15 minutes.
4. Leaving an even coating, drain excess oil from the pan. Add onions; sweat over low heat until translucent. Return pork to the pan; add remaining ingredients. Cover pan, place in the oven and cook for 2 to 3 hours or until the internal temperature reaches 140 to 150 degrees F. Let pork rest 10 to 15 minutes before slicing.
5. Use as burrito/taco meat or you can serve with vegetables and potatoes.
