2-3 boneless pork chops (or stewed pork meat)
garlic salt
6-8 cups green chili
1-2 cans of diced tomatoes (with green chilies; optional but best) with juice
2-3 cans of El Pato sauce, any kind (optional but adds great taste and spiciness)
1 tsp ground coriander
1-2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 chicken bouillon cubes
1-2 tbsp. of lard (olive oil works but bacon grease is best for taste)
2 heaping tbsp. of flour
2 heaping tbsp. of cornstarch
2-3 cups cold water
*In a pot, boil pork meat for 1-2 hours on low with garlic salt. Mean while chop green chili and put into a large pot on medium heat. Add diced tomatoes with juice, el pato sauce and coriander. Add enough water to cover chili and tomatoes.
*Once pork meat is cooked, finely chop pork meat and return back into pot (note: I like to use my little food processor to really shred the meat). Add fresh chopped garlic and chicken bouillon cubes. Make sure meat is covered with water. Cook meat until water is gone. Add lard to meat, cook on medium heat until meat browns nicely. Add 2 heaping tbsp. of flour and brown for 1 minute. Add meat to chili sauce. Mix cornstarch with water and then added to chili sauce. Bring chili to a boil, then reduce and let simmer. If you would like your sauce to be thinker just add more cornstarch...but be sure to disolve your cornstarch in water before adding to chili sause or you will have lumps! Add water if you desire to have thinner or if needed.
CHEF'S NOTE: This recipe makes a pretty large batch of chili sauce so once it cools I like to divide the sauce into our family's serving size in freezer containers and freeze until ready for use. We use it in Chili Beans, Stews, Navajo Tacos, Enchilladas, smother burritos with it, or on anything else that we want to give a little kick too! Also play with the recipe...this is my base version, you can give it your own personal flare and add new things. Just promise me that when you do add your own personal flare and it makes the chili sauce unbelievable, that you must share your secrete with me!!!
