This recipe for Carnitas ("little meats") is so foolproof and easy, you will be making it often!
You will need:
A pork roast
A crock pot
salt
pepper
1/2 cup water
skillet
oil (approx. 4 Tbs)
Simply turn your crock pot on HIGH , salt and pepper your pork roast, add to crock pot with water, cover and cook until it is very tender. Before getting ready to serve, chop pork into about 1 inch pieces. Heat skillet medium high, add oil enough to coat bottom. Put meat into skillet, fry until just edges are crispy. Add back to crock pot with what is left of juices. Adjust salt to taste.
Our family likes carnitas in soft tacos, using corn tortillas, Pico de Gallo and shredded iceberg lettuce.
Carnitas are also served with hot tortillas, along with rice and beans, or in a burrito.
Pico de Gallo: Equal amounts of diced tomatoes and minced onion, one jalapeno, (seeds removed for mild heat) add chopped cilantro, salt, and juice of 1/2 lemon.
