Preparation

Step 1

Liberally salt the pork.

Heat oil in large oven-safe pot; brown all sides pork in oil – fat side first.

Remove pork from pan, drain all but 2 tablespoons of fat from pan. Sautee onions until translucent. Add remaining ingredients, return pork to pan, bring back to boil. Put lid on pan, put in oven pre-heated to 350 for approx. 4 hours or until fork tender.

Separate fat from braising liquid and remove Anchos; serve with pork (braising liquid that is, not the fat).
