  2  lb Lard  
  2 1/2  lb Pork butt trimmed and cut into 2" cubes

    Salsa-Chile de Arbol - (one cup) (see recipe)  
 
Instructions
 
  1. In a large saucepan melt lard over moderate heat. Add pork, salt and pepper and simmer until tender. Cook about an hour, being careful not to crisp the meat. Remove pork and set aside until cool. Shred the meat by hand or with tines of a fork. Remove and discard any remaining fat.
