Carnitas

When I started my culinary journey, I started going out to eat and trying new things and new restaurants.  Now, of course that can be good enough for some folks.  However, I wanted to do more than just try new food.  I wanted to make it.

My journey started in Las Vegas, NV.  I was blessed by many different Mexican joints.  One of which was the Macayo Mexican Kitchen, where I got my first taste of Carnitas. The Carnitas dinner plate started my journey.

The best thing about this recipe is the crispy pork that has crisped up in its own fat, and of course the orange juice that deeply penetrates the meat.  This wonderful combination with the garlic is something to have at least once in your life.

You of course can do this in a Dutch oven in the home oven.  With the amount of rendered fat, having it away from your home seems like the prudent choice.  Much like frying a turkey.  Think about it.
