Ingredients

2 tbsp vegetable oil
2 lb boneless pork shoulder
1 large white onion
4 cloves garlic
3 large carrots
3 dried ancho chiles
2 bay leaves
1 pinch ground cloves
1/4 cup fresh squeezed lime juice
4 cups chicken broth or stock
14 1/2 oz can diced tomatoes
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
1 lime
2 tsp kosher salt

Steps

Cut the pork into large chunks, chop the onion and carrots, and mince the garlic.
Toast the ancho chiles in a large dry Dutch oven for 2 minutes, then soak them in hot water for 10 minutes.
Heat the oil over medium-high heat, brown the pork in batches for 10 minutes, and transfer it to a plate.
Cook the onion, carrots, and garlic in the pot for 5 minutes, then blend the softened chiles with the broth and tomatoes.
Return the pork to the pot with the chile mixture, bay leaves, cloves, salt, and pepper, cover, and braise at 325 F for 165 minutes.
Cook pork until it reaches 145 F inside, then rest it 3 minutes.
