RED CHILE STEW
Pancho's Mexican Buffet Copycat Recipe
2 pounds pork cut into small pieces (save some fat)
5 dried red chilies
1 cup water
1 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
salt to taste
Wash chilies, removing stems and seeds. Place in blender with 1 cup water and blend into paste. Put pork fat into deep skillet until there is enough on the bottom of the skillet to prevent meat from sticking. Discard remaining fat. Brown pork lightly. Add the chili paste and mix well, adding water if mixture is too thick. Add oregano and garlic. Cover pan and simmer slowly for one hour.
