Pork roast preparation
Step 1
The first thing to do in this recipe is to prepare the ancho peppers. For this it is necessary to boil water and add the chilies, when they are ready place them in cold water. Subsequently, the skin should be removed so that the flavor is much more powerful.
Step 2

Step 3
In this step, the meat should be cut into cubes that are not too large but not too small either. Later add them to a pot with water for about 30 or 40 minutes. When the water evaporates, it will be completely ready and you can continue with the preparation.
It is normally boiled so that the pork does not have a hard texture . This helps make it feel soft yet delicious when you bite into it.
Step 4
In a frying pan, place oil at high temperature and add the pork that was previously cut and boiled. After it takes on a crunchy and golden appearance, the sauce that had already been made should be added.
At this point it will only be necessary to wait about 10 or 15 minutes for the sauce to integrate with the pork. However, it is important that you constantly taste the mix to see if it has the desired flavor or not.
step 5
Since this is the last step, it should only be served to taste. It is recommended to accompany this Asado de Puerco with rice, beans or any fresh salad.
Following the steps of this great recipe, surely anyone who tastes it will be delighted. Each of its ingredients provides a display of flavors that captivate anyone. It is for this reason that the Asado de Puerco is one of the most delicious dishes in Mexico.
