Tonight's dinner was a bit labor intense & semi-time consuming, but had a good smoky flavor.
- Finely chop 1 chipotle chile from a can with adobo sauce (found in Mexican section of the grocery store, near the jalapenos). I used 3 chiles to give it an extra kick and to satiate David's crave for spice. 3 was 1 too many :)
- In a largish sauce pan, dump in the chiles, 1/4 bbq sauce, shake or two of garlic powder & cumin, a can of diced tomatoes (don't drain them)
- Put in 1 lb of cubed pork tenderloin (I used porkchops) and simmer for 45 minutes, covered. Yes, 45 minutes - this is officially the lengthiest meal I've made on a work day.
- When the pork is almost done, saute up some thin sliced onions with olive oil & thyme (I had some leftover from the roast the other night)
- After 45 min is up, pull out the chunks of pork and pull apart, put back in sauce & stir around a bit to season up.
- Serve it the pork on a sliced kaiser bun (they are sturdy enough to soak up any sauce & helps hold it all together) with a slice of provolone & topped with onions.
