I found a recipe online for carnitas and couldn't wait to try it. I was actually wanting a recipe that was more authentic, but got stuck on this one. It wasn't very authentic, but looked really good so I decided to give it a try anyway.
It was REALLY good!
The spices+marinade+browning+slow cooking gave it such depth of flavor. It wasn't hard, but there were several steps and took some planning to get it done, but it was totally worth it.
Here is the link if you would like to take a look.
I also made an Avocado and Mango salsa that was inspired by Pennies on a Platter, which was the perfect addition to the pork. I can't wait to have the left overs for dinner tonight!
