Fremgangsmåte

Preheat oven to 180°C/350°F (160°C fan).

SPICINESS - Read note above about spiciness!

Puree chipotle in adobo until smooth using a stick blender or similar.

Sprinkle pork all over with salt, pepper and cumin.

Brown pork - Heat all the oil in a large oven-proof pot over high heat. Brown the pork all over in 2 batches, the remove onto a plate (~ 1 minute each side).

Sauté - Cool the pot slightly then return to medium heat. If the pot looks dry, add 1 tbsp oil. Sauté onion, garlic, the herbs & spices for 3 minutes.

Cook off tomato & chipotle - Add tomato paste and cook it off for 2 minutes. Add chipotle puree and cook for 2 minutes.

Slow cook 2 hours - Add remaining ingredients EXCEPT beans. Stir, then bring to simmer. Place pork in - arrange so its submerged as best as possible. Cover with lid. Place in oven for 2 hours. (Note 6 other cook methods)

Add beans, cook 30 min - Remove lid, add beans. Return to oven for 30 minutes without lid to caramelise the surface. The pork will be fork-tender!

Serve like stew over Mexican red rice or with tortillas for dunking. Or make wickedly food tacos with finely chopped white onion, fresh coriander/cilantro, avocado slices and a squeeze of lime. More serving options above the recipe video.
