Pork Consomme

 

This recipe is for Pork Consommé, to serve with pork tacos or pork quesadillas; as a dipping sauce. I will have a detailed recipe to make Pork Quesadillas with Consommé (Quesa Carnitas con Consommé) in a separate post. There are a lot of components, because of the toppings: consommé, guacamole, and pico de gallo. For now, I will concentrate on the Pork Consommé recipe.

PORK CONSOMMÉ

 

SHREDDED PORK:

Shredded Pork (see recipe) meat, broth, and fat separated

 

CONSOMMÉ:

2/3 Cup Pico De Gallo (see recipe), divided

1 Dried Pasilla chili pepper, stem and seeds removed

1 Dried Guajillo chili peppers, stem and seeds removed

2 California chili peppers, stems and seeds removed

6 Dried Arbol chili peppers, stems and seeds removed

2 1/2 Cups pork broth

1/2 Cup water

1/2 lime, juiced

2 Chicken bouillon cubes

1/2 Teaspoon Righteous Seasoning

1/2 Teaspoon granulated garlic

1/4 Teaspoon cumin

Up to 1/2 Teaspoon tajin, to reduce spiciness, if desired

 

TO PREPARE CONSOMMÉ:

Place 1/3 Cup Pico De Gallo, in a slow cooker, or crock pot. Set aside. Place prepared dried chilies in a blender. Add pork broth. Process until smooth. Pour chili mixture into slow cooker. Rinse remaining chili mixture, with reserved pork broth, from the blender; and pour into slow cooker. Add water, lime juice, chicken bouillon, Righteous Seasoning, garlic, and cumin; stirring to combine. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. You do not want your consommé to evaporate. If consommé is too spicy; stir in tajin, 1/4 teaspoon at a time. The tajin will reduce the spiciness. Stir in remaining 1/3 cup Pico De Gallo. Serve as a dipping sauce with Pork Quesadillas With Consommé.
