NEW MEXICO CARNE ADOVADA

Steps:

• Cut pork loin roast into large bite sized pieces. Salt and pepper to taste.Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add oil. When oil is hot, add pork pieces and brown on two sides. Cook in batches as not to crowd the pork. The pork will brown better.

• Remove from heat and add browned pork.
• Stir well, cover and place in refrigerator to marinade overnight. Or for at least 2 - 3 hours before cooking.
• Heat oven to 350 degrees.
• Cook 2 - 2 1/2 hours or until pork is tender.
• Remove pork from oven and stir in molasses and vinegar.
• Place the lid back on the pot and let it steep for about 15 minutes.
