Stewed Mutton Birria Recipe.

Ingredients:

4 LBS Goat Meat (Mutton)
1/4 Cup White Distilled Vinegar
6 TSP Sea Salt
3 Quarts of Water
5 Dried Avocado Leaves
10 Guajillo Chiles

Recipe Instructions:

Cut the mutton into pieces about 3" in size and place in a large glass bowl and cover with cold water.
Add the vinegar and 2 TSPs salt and let sit for 20 to 30 minutes.
After 20-30 minutes rinse well with cold water.
Place the rinsed meat in a large casserole pot, cover with at least 3 quarts water, add 4 TSPs salt, and stir.
Set the heat to high and let it come to a rolling boil, reduce the heat to low, remove whatever foam may have come to the surface, cover, and cook for 2 hours while slowly simmering.
Set a small saut? Pan over medium-low heat.
Once hot, toast the avocado leaves, flipping as they cook, for about a minute until fragrant.
Place the chiles in a small saucepan, cover with water, and set over medium-high heat.
Simmer for 10 minutes, until the chiles are plumped up.
Place the chiles in the jar of a blender, along with a cup of the cooking liquid, and puree until completely smooth.
Uncover the meat, add the chili puree, stir, and drop in the toasted avocado leaves.
Cover again and continue cooking for another 2 hours, or until the meat is tender and falling apart when a fork is inserted.
Serve the meat in bowls along with the broth or in corn tortillas.
