Chops
2 tablespoons shortening
3 pounds pork chops, boned and cubed
3 or 4 serrano chiles, or more or less to taste
1 large onion
2 tsp whole cumin seed
4 cloves garlic
1/3 cup flour
3 ounces squash (yellow or zucchini or Mexican squash), sliced, large slices
quartered
1 can whole kernel corn, including liquid
2 cans chopped chiles & tomatoes
Salt & pepper
Heat shortening in Dutch oven; fry pork cubes in batches until browned.
Return all pork to pan. Place chiles and onion in food processor container and
process until chopped (or chop together by hand). Slice garlic and place with
cumin seed and salt in a mortar and pestle and grind together. (The garlic and
cumin seed and salt can be chopped in the food processor with the chilies and
onion, but grinding it gives it more flavor).

don't know why I'll do it again.
