My recipe for Carnitas. 3 or 4 pounds of boneless pork shoulder 1 teaspoon of salt 3 garlic cloves roughly chopped 1 teaspoon of ground cumin 1/2 tablespoon of dried oregano 1/2 teaspoon of ground coriander 2 bay leaves 1/4 tablespoon of cinnamon 2 cups of chicken broth 1/2 the juice of an orange Large burrito wraps
Step 1 gather all ingredients in a small bowl Except the bay leaves Step 2 place pork in plastic bag. A grocery bag works fine Step 3 rub ingredients on the pork. Step 4 place bay leaves in the bottom of the slow cooker and pour chicken broth over them. Step 5 place pork in the slow cooker and Add Orange juice. I also place a few Orange peels in to help break down The fibers and the cologne in the meat. Remove these peels at the 3 hours time. Step 6 set slow cooker on high for 3 hours Step 7 after the 3 hours on high flip the pork over. Set the cooker on low for 2 hours or until the pork is tender.
Resists lifting the lid of the slow cooker and letting heat and moisture out. It will slow down the cooking.
I make my carnitas burritos with X large spinach burrito wraps, cheddar cheese, cilantro, avocado, sour cream and salsa. This can be served with Spanish rice or refried beans.
I have seen forums here about things like BBQ’s, dogs and cats, and knitting. So I thought why not a forum about cooking. I noticed how the members who criticize Martin go scurrying off this sight when Martin logs on. Enjoy. Quack!
