Braised Habanero Pork Roast

So this is a good recipe for the time-constrained parents of twins, when you want something different but easy.

  • In a large pot, bring 1 quart chicken stock to a boil.
  • add 1 coarsely chopped yellow onion
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons ancho chile powder
  • 4 whole habanero peppers (don't even touch these bad boys)
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2-3 lb pork roast (fat side down initially)
  • cover and braise over high heat for 20-25 minutes turning once
  • reduce to medium heat and braise 20-40 minutes longer until medium well, turning occasionally
  • remove from heat and rest for 10 minutes before removing the pork to serve
  • you might be able to do something with the braising liquid, but it's pretty spicy so you'll want to tame it down with something like milk
