caterina cacciatore

have on hand a thawed out package of pork pieces / like stew sized pieces

luckily have on hand a quart of pork broth from stewing the leftover roast pork with some onions the other day

two pints of tomatillos canned last fall

lots of cloves of garlic

half a large Mayan Sweet onion

1 or 1 small cans of ortega green chiles diced

seasonings : cumin cinnamon salt and pepper / a little sugar

brown the pork pieces (maybe dredged in flour first) in hot leftover bacon grease with a little oxtail fat

when they are brown (use a heavy iron pot or le crueset) take the pork out / add some olive oil and butter to the pan and throw in the chopped onions / brown then / put the pork back in the pot / pour in two pints of tomatillos / and the pork broth / add a bunch of peeled garlic cloves whole

simmmer for several hours or until the pork is tender

while simmering i add the seasonings / a small palm load of sugar / a goodly finger load of cumin and a pinch of cinnamon / a small square of dark unsweetened chocolate

the daughter is cooking rice and beans with corn tortillas and salsa / she comes over and gets a pot of pork green chile and the sour cream

smile

i am going to have my pork green chile with freshly baked cornbread and lightly steamed cabbage / or maybe the cabbage will be with shredded carrots and apples for a nifty HIGH Fiber salad

keep it all moving
