Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Spread chiles and garlic on a baking sheet. Roast until softened, 5 minutes. Let cool slightly.
• Tear chiles into pieces, discarding stems and seeds. Add to boiling water, remove from heat, and top with a small plate. Let stand 30 minutes. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup water. Puree chiles, tomatoes, reserved water, and warm water.
• Peel garlic. With a mortar and pestle, pound garlic, spices, herbs, 2 teaspoons salt, and the vinegar into a paste.
• Heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Season pork generously with salt and pepper. Working in batches, cook pork until browned, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.
• Add onion to pot, and cook for 5 minutes. Stir in paste, and cook for 2 minutes. Stir in pork, yuca, beans, chile mixture, and salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a simmer. Cover, and place in oven until tender, about 3 hours. Stir in hominy, and serve with tortillas, crema or sour cream, and jalapenos if desired.

Steps:

• Mix the paprika, garlic powder, brown sugar, dry mustard, and kosher salt together in a small bowl; spread evenly over the pork roasts. Refrigerate the seasoned roasts at least 3 hours.

• Shred the pork and place into a large pot over medium heat. Mix the meat with the barbeque sauce. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until the flavors have blended, about 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Prepare the Meat: Cut the pork into large chunks. Put the pork in a saucepan and fill with enough water to cover the meat by 1 inch. Add the bay leaves and crushed garlic. Bring to a boil and skim off the grayish foam that rises to the top during the first few minutes. Decrease the heat to a simmer and cook for 45 minutes, patially covered, or until the pork is tender. (I found I needed to cook the pork double the amount of time.)
• Allow the pork to cool in the stock, then drain reserving 1 cup of the stock. Shred the pork by pulling apart the fibers with two forks or your fingers. Set aside.
• Prepare the Chorizo: Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the chorizo to the pan and cook, breaking it apart as you stir, until it achieves a golden brown color and begins to render its fat. (Don't worry if some of the chorizo sticks to the bottom of the pan.) Using a slotted spoon, remove the chorizo from the pan and set it aside.
• Brown the Main Ingredients: Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil to the unwashed pan and set it over medium heat. Add the onion and remaining chopped garlic and saute until the onion begins to get limp and translucent, 3 minutes. Add the shredded pork, season with the salt, and continue sauteing for 3 more minutes. Deglaze the pan by pouring in a couple of tablespoons of the reserved pork stock and scraping the bottom of the pan with a heatproof silicone spatula.
• Finish the Stew: Add the chorizo, tomatoes, chipotles, adobo from canned chipotles, oregano, thyme leaves, and marjoram leaves to the pan. Stir well and simmer for 5 minutes. Pour in the remaining reserved pork stock and continue simmering, uncovered, for 25 minutes.
