History
Asado de puerco is a stew from northern and central-highland Mexico: pork simmered in a thick sauce of dried chiles — guajillo, ancho or pasilla — with garlic, cumin and oregano. It is made for weddings, baptisms and festivities, which is where its other name comes from, asado de bodas, especially in Zacatecas and Durango, where the recipe usually includes chocolate.
Cultural Notes
Es platillo de fiesta: en Zacatecas y Durango el asado de bodas es obligado en los banquetes nupciales, y en Nuevo León y Coahuila se sirve con arroz y tortillas de harina. Se prepara en cazuelas grandes porque mejora de un día para otro.
