Recommended Posts

Pork Carnitas:

1 large pork butt cut into chunks with bones
1 large onion quartered
1 large bell pepper quartered...
1 head garlic peeled
2 limes halved
5 chipotles plus 3 tbsp adobo sauce
1 tablespoon cumin
1 tbsp dried basil
1 tbsp dried oregano
1 large bunch fresh cilantro
1 Tbsp salt
2-3 quarts low sodium chicken broth

Bring to boil, reduce heat to medium-low, cook 3 hours or until meat falls off bones.

Remove meat with slotted spoon. When ready to eat, place chunks of meat onto baking sheets with sides, -drizzle with a little olive oil and bake 350 for about 15 minutes or until edges crisp up. Serve on hot tortillas, with cheese, salsa, guacamole or what ever you like.

Do not discard cooking liquid. Make carnita gravy with it.

Remove bones and lime halves, Turn heat up to medium high, and reduce liquid until it is a thick paste. Mash any chunks of meat that remain. Once thickened, you can mix 1-2 Tablespoons into hot rice and serve as a side with carnitas or any other mexican dish you like.
