- >half an orange
- >1 onion (preferably yellow)
- >1 jalapeno, finely chopped
- >3 finely chopped slices of garlic
- >salt
- >pepper
- >cumin
- >lard (real lard, no fake stuff like Crisco, go for pork lard)
- Instructions)
- First things first, rinse the pork and clean it under a faucet and pat it dry
- then give that meat a good ol rub
- rub in salt, pepper and the cumin
- a generous amount
- place in a deep oven-safe pan
- and add the veggies on top
- garlic first, then onion, then jalapeno
- in that order
- trust me, you'll thank me for this tip
- Squeeze half an orange on the top of the pork and veggies
- this will make the meat tender while cooking
- then, at two spoonfuls of lard
- not on the pork, more on the sides of it
- You can flip the meat half way through the cooking if you'd like
- to make sure the top of the meat has the same flavor
- anyway, after cooking, pull out of the oven(edited)
- you'll notice that the Carnitas is swimming in a delicious smelling liquid
- take the meat and slice take a whack at it with a big knife
- until it is in smaller chunks
- shred those chunks as well as you can, and put in cooking tray thing
- put the shredded meat into a cooking tray and take some of the juices in a cup
- and pour it over the shredded meat
- making sure the meat is moistened
- put it in a 400 degree oven for 15 minutes
- take it out
- stir around
- put it back in for 10
- 2 cycles of this should net you a crispy, moist, delicious texture
- salt and pepper to taste
- and you're done
