Wow, really good. I used pork loin also, which was very easy and delicious. Such a different flavor. The onions are a must, though, which adds a wonderful tang. We used with flour tortillas and sliced avocado. Will do again

Yum, this was really great! I love the smoky, earthy taste and using pork tenderloin worked out great. I made a couple of other substitutions to use ingredients I had on hand too: I used 1/2 cup of brazil nut butter instead of almonds and peanuts, and a mix of ancho and regular chile powders instead of the actual ancho chiles. Before refrigerating in make-ahead fashion, I added two large raw russet potatoes and 3 carrots, both chopped in big chunks. The night we ate it, we brought the pot to a bubble on the stove top and then simmered on low for an hour until the potatoes and carrots were cooked. So good. And I'm eating leftovers for lunch right now and it's even better.

so, we don't usually eat anything like this, but we were looking for a change and something different. don't usually eat a lot of pork (never cooked it like this and never had a peanut based sauce. i only had regular cocoa powder - not dark chocolate. all i could taste was peanut in this dish - very earthy. maybe not enough anchos or raisins?? my husband surprisingly didn't think it was that bad. i was shocked - he's a meat and potatoes guy. i definitely thought it was better as a whole dish - the pickled onions, cilantro and cojita were welcomed additions to this dish...lightened the earthiness. it wasn't terrible, but probably wouldn't make it again.

Prep was super easy with my vitamix! I first tried my food processor, but failed to read to do in two batches; what a mess with the broth going everywhere! But my blender saved the day. I wasn't sure my family (2 teenage boys would care for these flavors and such dark color - remember teenage boys! But there was absolute silence and clean bowls. The onions pickled so well and were absolutely delicious! A very inexpensive and easy meal when pork shoulder is on sale. And yet deceptively looks like you slaved away all day for those flavors!

My other fav RR recipe is her whole wheat penne artichoke with spinach pesto!

We thought this was fabulous and it's going in my book of recipes to make again (and not lose. The ancho chile sauce is spicy (but not real not, flavorful, and a gorgeous color. We added lime jiuce (about half a lime to brighten the flavor.
