INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)

  • 2 tablespoons canola oil
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 4 tablespoons New Mexico red chile powder
  • 2 1/2 cups warm water
  • 3 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1/3 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 3 pounds cubed pork stew meat

DIRECTIONS

  1. In a skillet or frying pan, heat oil over medium heat. Stir in flour and brown until light golden brown. Blend in chile powder. Slowly add water, stirring until lumps are removed. Add garlic, oregano, cumin and salt. Simmer on medium heat for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
