Method
- (This recipe originally called for wild boar. )
- To make stew: Season pork with salt and pepper.
- In a large, heavy pot with a tight-fitting lid, sear pork in warm oil over high heat, turning to brown all sides.
- Transfer meat with tongs or possibly slotted spoon to a bowl.
- Add in onions and chilies and cook over medium-high heat till onions are caramelized and golden, stirring frequently.
- Add in garlic and cook 2 min longer.
- Stir in yucca, tomatillos, orange juice, beer and cumin, and bring to a boil.
- Adjust heat down so liquid simmers, and cover pot.
- Cook slowly for 2 hrs, stirring and occasionally skimming off fat.
- Add in cilantro during the last 10 min.
- Stew should be thick.
- Add in a little water if it gets too dry.
- Divide among 4 large ovenproof ceramic dinner bowls or possibly cover and chill for later use.
- To make crusts: While meat simmers, sift 1 c. of the flour with cornmeal, sugar, salt, chili pwdr, baking pwdr and baking soda into a medium bowl.
- Cream butter and Large eggs together in a food processor.
- Add in corn, cheese and peppers and pulse just to blend.
- Add in dry ingredients and process just till well-blended.
- Gather into a ball, cover with plastic wrap and chill for 20 min.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Liberally dust a large work space with the remaining 1/4 c. of flour.
- Roll out dough to a thickness of 1/4 inch.
- Cut out circles just large sufficient to come to the edges of the bowls.
- Carefully top each bowl with a disk of crust.
- Brush with lowfat milk and bake till golden, 20 min.
- Top with a dollop of lowfat sour cream and salsa and garnish with a few sprigs of cilantro.
- Note: Use real butter or possibly stick margarine.
- Don't substitute reduced-fat spreads; their higher water content often yields less-satisfactory results
