4. Meanwhile, make the chile purée. Rinse the
dried chiles and pat dry. Remove the stems
and shake out the seeds. Toast the chiles and
remaining 2 crushed garlic cloves in a dry
skillet over medium-low heat, until aromatic
(careful not to burn). Add water to cover and
bring to a simmer. Remove from heat and
allow to steep for 30 minutes. Add the
softened chiles to the jar of a blender, along
with the honey, lime juice, salt and 1 cup of
the steeping liquid. Process to a smooth
purée. Reserve.
5. When there are 30 minutes of cooking time
remaining, open the lid and skim the fat from
the top. Transfer the meat to a bowl. Discard
the onion, garlic and bay leaves. Shred the
meat into bite-size pieces and return to the
pot along with the reserved chile purée. Close
the lid again and let the unit complete its
cooking program.
6. Once the audible tone sounds to indicate the
end of cooking, transfer to individual serving
bowls and top with the suggested garnishes.
