Shredded Pork with Roasted Tomatoes and Chipotle ChilesJeff Kauck

Tinga de Puerco

Pork shoulder is a humble cut of meat, but it packs a lot of flavor. Here it is simmered with a chipotle-spiked tomato sauce to make a smoky-spicy topping for crisp little tortilla chips. They can be served on a plate as a first course or passed on a tray as a nibble with cocktails or beer. Tinga is also very good as a filling for warm corn smoked Spanish sausage.

Wine Notes

Sangiovese is excellent with this dish. A Chianti classico such as those produced by Nozzole, Querciabella, or Monsanto will work just as well.
