Method

6 steps · 260 minutes

Toast the dried chiles in a dry pan 30 seconds a side. Any darker and the whole pot turns bitter.
Cover them in hot water for 20 minutes, then blend with the chipotle, garlic, vinegar and cumin.
Brown the shoulder hard in the tallow on every face.
Pour the sauce over, add the bay, cover tightly and cook at 300F for four hours.
The cloves are there to be noticed only if you leave them out. A pinch is the whole difference; a teaspoon tastes like mouthwash.
Shred it in the pot with two forks and let it sit in the sauce 10 minutes before serving.
