This is a great recipe for a large dinner party.

Ingredients


cider vinegar 2 Tbsps
ancho chile 15 stemmed and seeded
garlic clove 3 peeled and crushed
butter 1/2 cup softened
pork leg 6 lbs boneless & tied with kitchen twine
water 8 cups
salt 1/4 tsp


Directions

  1. Heat the water, vinegar, and the salt in a pot over high heat until it begins to boil.
  2. Heat a frying pan over medium heat and toast each side of the ancho chiles for about 30 seconds.
  3. Add the toasted chiles to the boiling water and cook until the chiles are soft. This should take about 15 minutes.
  4. Remove the cooked chiles to a blender and add ¼ of the reserved liquid with the garlic. Puree until smooth and salt to taste.
  5. Preheat your oven to 325 degrees.
  6. Make small cuts all over the pork leg then rub down generously with butter and then with the ancho chile mixture.
  7. Place in a roasting pan and cook until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees. The average time for a 6 lb pound pork leg is about 2 hours so adjust accordingly to weight.
  8. When the pork leg is cooked allow it to sit for about 20 minutes before carving.
