Smokin' Chipotle Pork Stew

Ingredients

• 5  chiles in adobo sauce 
• 12 ounce beer canned
• 1.5 pounds pork shoulder boneless cut into one-inch cubes
• 2 teaspoons ground cumin to taste
• 2 medium onion diced
• 4 servings salt and pepper freshly ground to taste
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil 

Equipment

• bowl
• pot
• dutch oven
• cutting board

Directions

1. Heat a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat until very hot, about two minutes.
2. Add the oil.
3. Add the pork and cook, in batches if necessary, until browned on all sides.
4. Transfer the pork to a bowl and set aside.
5. Reduce the heat to low.
6. Add the onions, stirring to scrape up the browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Cover with a tight-fitting lid and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are golden and slightly browned around the edges, about 10 minutes.
7. Add the reserved pork, beer, chipotles, adobo sauce, cumin, salt, and pepper; stir until combined. Simmer, covered, stirring occasionally, until the pork is fork-tender, about 1 1/2 hours.
8. Tip
9. Serve this dish as a stew or transfer the pork to a cutting board. With two forks, shred the chunks into small pieces and use as a filling for tacos or sandwiches.
