Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 3

2 1/4 pounds pork shoulder, cut into 1 1/2-inch cubes
3 cloves garlic, crushed and peeled
1 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt

Steps:

  • Combine pork, garlic and salt in a 10-inch cast-iron skillet. Add 2 cups water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, turning occasionally, until water has evaporated, about 1 hour; pork will begin to brown in its own fat. (If using leaner part of shoulder, add 1 to 2 tablespoons safflower oil.) Increase heat to medium and cook pork on all sides, turning and scraping up crisp bits with a spatula, until browned and tender, about 15 minutes. Coarsely shred with two forks.

I'm not a huge fan of carnitas, but these were really good. The meat was tender and flavorful, and the sauce was delicious. I would definitely make these again.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my carnitas were tough and dry. I followed the recipe exactly, but they just didn't turn out right.

These carnitas were a little too spicy for my taste, but they were still good. I would recommend using less chili powder next time.
