Pan Fried Pork Chicharrones Central American Style Recipes
PAN FRIED PORK CHICHARRONES (CENTRAL AMERICAN STYLE)
Learned this recipe from my uncle who is the king of Q' and chicharrones! Very simple and can easily be turned into a wonderful easy meal. Just add salsa, onions and warm tortillas and you got your self some taquitos de chicharrones. Also makes a great breakfast taco. When choosing the meat, make sure to buy pork meat that has nearly the same meat to fat ratio (50/50). It will usually come cubed or cut up and ready for chicharrones (or it can sometimes be labeled as meat for carnitas). The difference is that carnitas take hours to bake and they are usually shredded afterwards and chicharrones have a higher fat content, take about 30 mins to fry and are not shredded. Be very careful when frying as chicharrones tend to splatter (a splatter screen comes in handy now). Avoid using a fork to handle pork during cooking process as piercing it causes juices (what makes meat tender) to leak out. Use tongs instead.

Steps:
- Heat oil in a large frying pan on medium high.
- In a large bowl: Squeeze lemon juice over pork. Season pork with cumin, pepper and salt to taste. Pour orange juice over pork and toss. Let sit for about 30 minutes.
- Test oil rediness by dropping a small piece of pork into oil. If it sizzles instantly, it is ready.
- Discard marinade and place pork (slowly, one by one) into hot pan with tongs not fork. Cover with foil/lid and fry for about 15 minute Remove foil/lid and let fry for another 5 mins uncovered. Turn pork pieces and fry evenly on other sides (about 5-7 mins more). Finally, with tongs, stir pork around (turning frequently) in the hot pan for about 2 more mins or until you see a nice dark golden caramalized color on pork. Remove from pan with tongs and drain on paper towel. Serve warm.

CHICHARRONES TACOS
A wildly popular Latin snack food throughout the Americas, chicharrones are made from pork belly that has been cooked for a long time with the skin on, and contains a little meat (what we think of as pork rinds in the United States). Though usually eaten as a crispy snack, they also make a tasty taco filling when heated in a sauce until softened and chewy. The most unusual chicharrones are those made from the whole pork skin fried in one piece-they're about four feet long by two feet wide and resemble some dried prehistoric animal. You'll see them for sale on weekends along the highways in areas of Mexico where there are a lot of pigs, sometimes next to a huge pot of pork fat boiling over an open fire. They're almost always made to order; you stop and buy a piece or buy the whole thing. I'm guessing you only see them by the highways because they are so enormous you need a car or pickup truck to get one home.

Steps:
- In a large, heavy skillet, add the pork fat and salt and cook over low heat until the pork has fully rendered its fat and the pieces are puffed and airy, about 40 minutes. Transfer the chicharrones to a large saucepan, add the tomatillo salsa, and cook on medium-high heat until the sauce is almost dried up and coats the chicharrones, about 9 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and serve immediately, or keep warm in the pan until ready to serve.
- To serve, lay the tortillas side by side, open face and overlapping on a platter. Divide the filling equally between the tortillas and top with garnish and salsa. Grab, fold, and eat right away. Or build your own taco: lay a tortilla, open face, in one hand. Spoon on some filling, top with garnish and salsa, fold, and eat right away.

- Procure Some Pork Skin. Depending on where you live, this might be the hardest part of making chicharrónes: you need to procure 1 1/2 to 2 pounds of fresh pork skin.
- Cut the pork skin into large pieces. The easiest way to cook chicharrónes is to roast the pork skin in large-ish pieces—about 6 inches long by 4 inches wide is a good manageable size.
- Roast the pork skin. Before you deep-fry the pork skin into puffy chicharrones, you need to roast it for a few hours at low heat to dry it out. Extra fat will drip out of the skin during this phase, so arrange the pork skin on a wire rack set inside a foil-lined rimmed baking sheet to catch the drips.
- Heat the frying oil. Traditionally, chicharrónes are fried in lard, but that can get a little stinky to do at home, so you can use canola, grapeseed oil, or another vegetable oil with a high smoke point instead.
- Deep-fry the chicharrónes. Add a piece of your roasted pork skin and watch it closely. It should start to bubble and pop and expand within 30 seconds—if it doesn't, your oil isn't hot enough.
