CARNITAS



Carnitas image

Carnitas are a one-pot Mexican dish made by slowly cooking seasoned pork in oil or lard. After some time and TLC, you'll watch the meat go from simmering to frying, leaving you with tender chunks and crisps bites of pork - the perfect filling for a taco. We love the combo of pickled onions, sour cream and avocado for toppings.

Time 2h30m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 pounds fatty boneless pork shoulder, cut into 2-inch chunks
Kosher salt
2/3 cup vegetable oil or lard
1 teaspoon dried Mexican oregano
Large pinch crushed red pepper
Small pinch ground cloves
6 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
3 bay leaves
Juice of 2 limes
Two 3-inch strips orange peel
1/2 small white onion, finely chopped
Soft corn tortillas, for serving
Suggested toppings: sour cream, chopped fresh cilantro, pickled onions, chopped avocado and pico de gallo

Steps:

  • Toss the pork with 2 teaspoons of salt. Transfer to a 6- to 7-quart Dutch oven or pot along with the oil, oregano, red pepper, cloves, garlic, bay leaves, lime juice, orange peel and onion. Cover with 4 to 5 cups of water. Bring to a high simmer, then reduce the heat to low, partially cover the pot and simmer gently, checking occasionally to give it a stir, until the pork is tender and just beginning to fall apart, about 1 hour and 30 minutes. Fish out the bay leaves and orange peel. (The pork will not look super-attractive at this point but don't panic!)
  • Remove the lid and increase the heat to medium-high. Simmer vigorously, stirring frequently, until all of the water has evaporated, leaving only the oil, and the pork has browned and begun to fry slightly at the bottom of the pot; continue to cook, scraping up the bottom of the pot frequently to release the fried bits, 30 to 40 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove the pork from any remaining oil in the pot.
  • Serve with tortillas and suggested toppings to make tacos.

MAMA'S CARNITAS



Mama's Carnitas image

My husband loves to cook Mexican dishes. I'm more of an Italian-style cook, and the joke in our house is that I should leave all the Mexican cooking to him. However, this dish of mine turned out so amazing my husband fell in love! It's all in the meat. If you can get an all-natural pork shoulder, it really makes a difference. -Chelsea Wickman, Painesville, Ohio
