Cooking the Meat: Put the meat pieces in a pan with the onion, garlic, and salt. Cover with three cups water, bring to a boil and simmer for 30 minutes or until the pork is cooked. Drain off, place the pork pieces aside, and reserve the stock.<br /><br />2. Cooking the Sauce: Remove the stems and seeds from the Pasilla chili peppers, toast them on a hot skillet and stir until the chiles are fragrant, about 1 minute, being careful not to burn them. Tear them up and soak the pieces in a cup of the hot pork stock for 30 minutes.<br /><br />3. Place the tomatoes and onion in the skillet and stir until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Remove and place aside.<br /><br />4. Place the squash seeds, sesame seeds, and cinnamon in the skillet until the ingredients are browned. Remove and place aside.<br /><br />5. Place the sweet bread, baguette and stir until browned. Remove and place aside.<br /><br />6. Working in small batches, puree all the toasted ingredients with the chili peppers, allspice and peppercorns in a blender until smooth, adding about half the amount of the pork broth or until you have a smooth sauce.<br /><br />7. Strain sauce in a sieve.<br /><br />8. Heat the olive oil in a pot and fry the sauce for three minutes.<br /><br />9. Season sauce to taste with salt and sugar. Add the rest of the broth and the pork meat. Let it cook together for 10 minutes and serve. Plate with slithered almonds on top to make it pretty.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02956301533793368301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-220194620710998500.post-71827667881314760222009-09-16T20:13:01.202-07:002009-09-16T20:13:01.202-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Beespeakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08549876651062705757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-220194620710998500.post-65601895332952546772009-09-16T14:07:50.508-07:002009-09-16T14:07:50.508-07:00This is great, but I'm sort of disappointed to...This is great, but I'm sort of disappointed to see that you kept Megan up so late that she hasn't had a chance to post any juicy news on her own blog!!<br /><br />Oh, also, I heard "Some random guy said that a CBC reporter was desperately looking for information about Lori Weidenhammer outside 7-11 ."cindebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00149574861483206920noreply@blogger.com
