In Central Mexico, pork is often slow-braised in chile-based sauces for family tables and festive gatherings. Here, that tradition takes shape in a smoky, rich, and soulful guajillo adobo that gently simmers the pork until tender. Paired with roasted zucchinis and cauliflower to soak up the sauce, this dish is comforting and layered, rooted in heritage yet revived with intention.
The pork is very tender, and the sauce has an excellent flavor. The vegetables are savory with a great texture. Nice pop from the pumpkin seeds. Nice crème fraiche finish.

My mom makes this type of dish and it's much spicier. The guajillo sauce tasted a bit too bitter for me, like it's lacking something.

Very tasty flavor, but very greasy. Veggies were overcooked. Would try this again, but needs rice or something to sop up the sauce.
