Mole Pork
- 1 boned, tied pork shoulder or butt (about 4 lb.)
- 1 onion (1/2 lb.), peeled and chopped
- 1 firm-ripe tomato (1/2 lb.), rinsed, cored, and chopped
- 2 cups tomato juice
- 1 cup fat-skimmed chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons firmly packed brown sugar
- 1 dried ancho or dried pasilla chili (about 1/2 oz.)
- 1 tablespoon chopped canned chipotle chili
- Rinse pork and put in a 5- to 6-quart pan. Add onion, tomato, tomato juice, broth, and brown sugar. Rinse dried chili, break off stem, and shake seeds from pod. Add dried chili and chipotle chili to pan.
- Cover and bring to a boil over high heat; reduce heat to low and simmer until meat is very tender when pierced, 3 to 3 1/2 hours, occasionally pushing meat aside and stirring sauce to be sure it's not sticking.
- Supporting meat with 2 slotted spoons, transfer to an 8- or 9-inch-wide pan, fat up.
- Bake meat in a 350u0b0 oven until very well browned, 30 to 40 minutes. Cut and discard string. With 2 forks, tear meat into large chunks; keep warm.
- Meanwhile, skim and discard fat from meat juices. Boil juices over high heat until reduced to 3 cups, about 30 minutes. Whirl, a portion at a time, in a blender until smooth.
- Put pork in a bowl; pour sauce over meat.
