Recipe and photos via The Cheerful Kitchen
Ingredients //
Spice Mix
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon paprika
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon coriander
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon pepper
2 teaspoons sea salt
¼ teaspoon cinnamon
Pork
2 bottles Guinness
3 pound Korobuta Pork Roast
1 onion, sliced thinly
5-6 garlic cloves, peeled and whole
Crema
1 cup sour cream
Handful of fresh cilantro
Zest and juice of 1 lime
Directions //
Preheat Oven to 300⁰.
Combine all the spices together in a small bowl. Rub spice mix thoroughly into pork roast,
completely covering it. Let the roast sit while you heat up 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear pork on all sides, letting it sit on each side for 3-4 minutes without moving to develop a good crust. In the meantime, slice onion and peel garlic. Scatter onion and garlic around the pork in the pan and pour in both bottles of Guinness. Cover and move to the oven. Cook for 3 ½ to 4 hours.
When the pork is done, use two forks to shred the meat. Remove the bone and any fat/gristle that you don’t want, and return the meat to the juices.
To make the crema, combine all the ingredients in a food processor or blender and blend for a few seconds, You can blend until completely smooth or leave flecks of cilantro - up to you!
To serve, heat up two corn tortillas and fill them with the braised pork, shredded cabbage, green crema and queso fresco.
