Carnitas Recipe

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.

2. 2

   Place the pork in a large roasting pan.

3. 3

   Make sure the roasting pan can go in the oven and on the stove or on an outdoor grill (I use my metal roasting pan that I use for Thanksgiving turkey dinner).

4. 4

   Sprinkle all the salt over the meat (all sides).

5. 5

   Scatter the sliced onions and garlic over the pork.

6. 6

   Pour the salsa over the pork.

7. 7

   Cover the roasting pan with foil.

8. 8

   Place in the oven and roast for 3 hours or until the the pork is fork tender.

9. 9

   The pan will have lots of juice.

10. 10

    Once removed from the oven, remove the foil and place the roasting pan over two burners on your stove or on an outdoor grill over high heat.

11. 11

    Occasionally stir the pork.

12. 12

    We are trying to evaporate all the liquid and ultimately fry the meat in the rendered fat from the pork.

13. 13

    Continue frying until the meat looks like the picture, about 30 minutes.

14. 14

    Eat right away, or place in a oven proof dish, cover with foil, and keep in a warm oven.
