MAMA'S CARNITAS
My husband loves to cook Mexican dishes. I'm more of an Italian-style cook, and the joke in our house is that I should leave all the Mexican cooking to him. However, this dish of mine turned out so amazing my husband fell in love! It's all in the meat. If you can get an all-natural pork shoulder, it really makes a difference. -Chelsea Wickman, Painesville, Ohio

SLOW COOKER CARNITAS RECIPE BY TASTY
Have you ever gone out for Mexican food, eaten carnitas, and thought "gosh, I wish I could make this myself"? Well, you can with the help of your slow cooker. Just add pork butt or shoulder to a slow cooker with citrus juice, garlic, onion, and some spices, then let it cook for about eight hours until it's tender and easy to shred with a fork. Then, you can enjoy your home-cooked carnitas in tacos, burritos, or on top of your favourite grains.

SLOW COOKER CARNITAS
Carnitas means 'little meats' and is traditionally fried then braised. This recipe is made much easier using the slow cooker but the results are just as tasty. This makes a great filling for tamales, enchiladas, tacos and burritos. This filling is also great combined with your favorite barbecue sauce and served on buns.

Steps:
- adjust oven rack to low/mid oven. Heat to 300 in a Dutch oven pot on stovetop, combine pork, broth, Mex. seasoning, Bay leaves, onion, garlic, lime juice, salt, sugar and pepper. Juice the orange into the pot and throw the 2 spent orange halves in with the rest. Liquid should just barely cover the pork. Bring mixture to simmer on stove top, then cover and transfer to oven. Cook about 2 hours. Remove pot from oven and turn oven to broil. With a slotted spoon, remove pork chunks to a shallow pan. Place a large strainer or seive over a bowl. Remove the orange halves and bay leaves and discard. With your slotted spoon, scoop the remaining chunky solids from the cooking juice and place them in the seive. Squish the solids to smash out all the liquidy flavors into the bowl. Discard the smashed solids. Add the bowl of squished juices back into to the pot with the cooking liquid and bring to a boil on stove top. Cook down the liquid until reduced to about 1 cup and is thick and syrupy, 20 minutes or so. Season to taste if needed. Meanwhile, back at the pork pan, shred the pork with 2 forks into 1 inch(ish) chunks ("carnitas" meaning little meats) Mix the pork "carnitas" and about 1/2 the PICO DE GALLO back into the thickened cooking liquid. Mix well. Spread the pork mixture onto a deep baking sheet and place in oven/broiler. Broil until the tops of the meats are brown and crisp. DONT LET IT BURN! Keep an eye on it! Stir carnitas mixture in pan and continue to brown.. be careful, you want it well roasted but not burned. Remove pan from broiler and scrape the roasted carnitas into a dish, stir in the remaining PICO DE GALLO and serve with warm corn tortillas and queso fresco!

- Cut the meat into large chunks, or leave it on the bone if the hunks will fit in the pot you are using. Salt them well.
- Fill your pot with the lard and heat it to about 200°F or thereabouts. You might need more than 3 quarts. Remember, you will be able to reuse this lard later, and almost all of it will stay in the pot, so fear not.
- When the lard hits temperature, add the pork. Now, there is an order to things. Different pieces cook at different rates. Longest cooking bits, in order, are: hocks, feet, tongue, heart, jowls, shoulder, ribs, hind leg, skin, belly, loins. Depending on what you are using, add the longest cooking bits in first. In general, wait 30 minutes before you put in the next item. Even loin will ultimately need 1 hour, though, so keep this in mind. Carnitas is a process.
- Once you put in the first pork item, add all the remaining ingredients and let things cook at about 195°F, more or less, until all the various piggy bits are soft and tender. Normally this takes about 4 hours, but could be more with wild hogs.
