Carnitas (the word translates as "little meats") are wonderful morsels of boiled/fried pork that are crispy on the outside and chewy-tender on the inside. In Mexico, they are traditionally cooked outside in huge copper or stainless steel pots over an open fire, but this smaller version is easy to make at home on a regular stove, making it much more practical for the everyday home cook. This looks like a great recipe. I love Carnitas, but have been limiting my pork consumption because of a few sources I have recently read about the connection of cancer to pork.
Instructions to make Mike's Carnitas:
- 10 Pounds of frozen boneless Pork Tender Loin pictured. Dethaw and brine overnight.
- Add everything in the first stage and allow to simmer in a crock pot for 10 hours. Pull the majority of fluid from your pork and place broth in fridge. You will need it later.
- Add everything in the second stage and allow to simmer for 2 additional hours in your crock pot.
- Important: Shread pork into large chunks. Pull and chop all vegetables within the crock pot separately.
- Stage three. Two pounds of lard pictured.
- Heat your lard and add your large pork chunks.
- Fry until crispy on the outside but moist on the inside.
- Fry pork in batches for 13 minutes a piece.
- Drain. Then add the juice of one orange and one small lime. Add 2 cups pork juice and 1 cup of your favorite red salsa. Salsa optional.
- Chop up your vegetables and add to fried pork.
- Mix well.
- Seal tightly with tin foil and leave in the oven at 250° for 1 hour or until ready to serve.
- Serve with assorted condiments and ice cold Mexican beers.
- Enjoy!
Apparently, cancer cells happily grow with the presence of pork that has not been. And once we put our carnitas tacos together with locally made flour tortillas, pico de gallo, cheese (for Hubs), lettuce and sour cream, I thought I died and went to heaven. No exaggerating, this is one fine recipe. I used boneless pork sirloin chops and, with the exception of using half the amount of Kosher salt called for, I prepared this. Quick note: carnitas demand a big stack of warm tortillas for making tacos.
