Print Recipe

Ingredients

1/4 c Red wine vinegar
1/2 c Fresh orange juice
1 ts Salt; or to taste
1/2 ts Sugar; optional
2 Garlic cloves; peeled
3 Ancho chiles; tops removed
1/2 c Pasta de Achiote;
1 ts Dried Mexican oregano
2 lb Country-style pork ribs or thick pork chops

Directions

Step #1 I copied this verbatim from "Zarela Martinez - Food from My Heart (Cuisines of Mexico Remembered & Reimagined)", a cookbook/memoirs that I picked up in a bargain bookstore.
Step #2 I am in the middle of preparing this very recipe & so far it smells heavenly.
Step #3 I hope that y'all will like it too.
Step #4 I ate this with delicious pork chops at a hotel in Merida.
Step #5 I often substitute country-style ribs here.
Step #6 The adobo can also be used to coat a pork loin roast (baste frequently with pan juices).
Step #7 I have used it with great results on baked chicken wings.
Step #8 If you have no ancho chiles, substitute any dried chile except chile arbol or chipotle.
Step #9 For a hotter flavor, leave in the seeds & veins.
Step #10 Rinse the chiles under cold running water, removing the seeds and veins.
Step #11 Heat a griddle or cast-iron skillet over high heat until a drop of water sizzles on contact.
Step #12 Place the chiles on the griddle and heat until their aroma is released, 1 to 2 mins on each side.
Step #13 Do not let them burn or they will make the dish horribly bitter.
Step #14 Place the toasted chiles in a small bowl or saucepan, cover with boiling water & let soak until somewhat softened, about 10 mins.
Step #15 Place the softened chiles, Achiote paste, orange juice, garlic and oregano in a mixer or food processor/blender fitted with the steel blade & process for 1 min.
Step #16 Scrape down the sides with a rubber spatula, add the vinegar & process again until smooth.
Step #17 Taste for Spice uping; add a little sugar, if desired, & the salt.
Step #18 Rub the ribs or pork chops with the marinade & let rest in the refrigerator, covered, overnight (or for at least 4 hrs).
Step #19 Preheat the oven to 350F.
Step #20 Choose a roasting pan large enough to allow a little space between the pieces & bake the ribs or chops until no pink shows in the center, 20 to 30 mins.
Step #21 YIELD: 4 servings.
