Sherrie's Carnitas: 8
servings
1 pork butt (about 7 lbs)
1 1/2 qts. water (or whatever amount it takes to cover meat)
1 large onion, quartered
1 tablespoon cumin seed
1 tablespoon coriander seed
2 bay leaves
2 teaspoons of Mexican oregano (regular Oregano will do, but use Mexican
if you can find it)
1 bottle of beer
Salt/Pepper
Cut pork butt in large chunks take off most of the fat, but leave just a
little as it adds flavor. Add remainder of ingredients plus 2 quarts of
water, or enough to cover the pork. Cover the pan and bring to boil on
high heat. Reduce heat and simmer until meat pulls apart easily with
fork (2-3 hours).
Remove pork from broth with slotted spoon. Let stand until cool. Place
in a non stick pan with a little shortening and cook until lightly browned and
sizzling! Serve
Serve with Sherrie's Pico
Di Gallo & Sherrie's Fiery Tomatillo Salsa and a nice shredded
lettuce with your guacamole.
Carbs: Negliable, if any,
since you don't serve any of the items that the meat simmers in.
