Making The Adobo
6 Dried Ancho Chile Peppers
2 Garlic Cloves
1 tsp. Oregano
1 tsp. Salt
1/2 tsp. Black Pepper
1/4 tsp. Ground Cloves
4 tsp. Granulated sugar
1/2 C. Apple Cider Vinegar
When I'm making this recipe i find fresh Ancho Chile Peppers to roast, combine all ingredients in a food processor or blender, blend to a smooth puree then set aside.
Prepare The Pork
In this Recipe I cut 1-1/2 pounds of Pork Tenderloin into 2 inch cubes, set aside. Prepare a Dry Rub or use a dry Cajun or Jerk Rub from a local market use rub on pork cubes and skewer them and you can sear them in a cast iron skillet or cast iron drill pan for best results. High hear and get some color on all sides. Transfer to a sheet pan lined with parchment paper or in a ceramic baking dish, take the Adobo glaze and Brush all sides of Skewered Pork. Place in pre-heated oven of 400 degrees for only a few minutes pork should still be tender but cooked through. Use more of the glaze when it comes out of the oven and you are ready to serve.
