Weekly Recipe from the NAE: #1 Frontier Chili
Watching a bit of food network on the rest day is definitely a great way to find some inspiration. I got into this show featuring a little restaurant in Sedona county where the chef dry rubs, smokes and braises whole pork shoulder until it falls apart. Seemed like a simple and delicious idea.
So I went out shopping and bought a pork butt ( shoulder ), knowing that I probably wouldn’t have a smoker to smoke it or even an oven to braise it in. It is a general rule of mine not to get too specific about what to make for dinner, until I see what I can find first. I decided to go with a braised pork and ancho pepper chili instead. Here it is ( don’t try this at home).
