Lunas Red Chile And Pork Over Stuffing Food

CRISPY POBLANO CHILES STUFFED WITH BLACK BEAN, PORK, CHEESE YELLOW RICE, AND "BANDERA (MEXICAN FLAG)" SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat a fryer to 375 degrees F.
• In a small saute pan coated lightly with oil, saute the black beans and garlic until soft, add the jalapenos, serranos, and saute 2 minutes, add the pork and cook about 8 to 10 minutes on low heat or until cooked through. Set aside and let cool.
• Add the chopped cilantro and cheese. Stuff each chile full. Dip each one in the tempura batter and fry until golden brown, about 4 to 5 minutes. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
• Plating: On a large plate, ladle each half with the red and green sauces, yin-yang-like, if possible. Place a small mound of rice in the middle of the plate. Top with a poblano chile, drizzle with cilantro crema, and garnish with a cilantro sprig.
• In a large bowl, mix the cornmeal, and rice, and whisk in the soda until a pancake batter consistency is achieved.
• Transfer all ingredients to a blender and puree until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.

ROASTED GARLIC AND CHILE-CRUSTED PORK LOIN

Steps:

• Squeeze the roasted garlic pulp from each clove into a bowl. Add the salt, ground and flaked chiles, cumin, brown sugar, and olive oil and make a wet rub.
• Stab holes into the pork loin and insert a quarter of a garlic clove into each. Massage the wet rub all over the meat, pushing some of it in between the two loins. Do this ahead, cover, and refrigerate overnight for maximum flavor penetration.
• Fire up the grill, mounding a hot coal bed on one side. Just before grilling, season the meat all over with the salt and a grinding of black pepper.
• Set the meat directly over the coals to sear for 2 minutes, making sure to scrape onto the roast any of the coating rub stuck to the plate it was setting on. Sear the remaining 3 sides for 2 minutes each. Push the meat to the other side of the grill, away from the coals. Cover the grill and adjust the heat so that it's from 325 to 350 degrees F inside. Roast for about 1 hour, till the meat reaches an internal temperature of 150 degrees F. Pull the roast off the grill and let it rest for 15 minutes.
• Carve and serve immediately, or let it cool completely and then slice for sandwiches.
