Melt lard in saucepan over medium heat. Stir in flour and salt and cook over low heat, 3 to 4 minutes. Add 2 cups reserved stock and simmer, stirring, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in chile puree, remove from heat and set aside.
CRUST. Combine remaining 1/2 cup reserved meat stock, cornmeal, egg and lard and stir until thickened.
ASSEMBLY. Sprinkle raisins evenly in bottom of 1 1/2-quart baking dish. Sprinkle olives over. Place meat cubes in layer on olives and pour Chile Gravy over. Spoon Cornmeal Crust mixture evenly over top. Bake at 325 degrees until crust is golden brown, about 1 hour.

Notes: The Test Kitchen found that adding 1 egg and 1 tablespoon lard or shortening to the original 1911 recipe made a lighter crust and that pureeing the chile pulp (which the original recipe didn't call for) made a smoother gravy.
