Okay so I'm doing two things here. They both start the same. Buy some kind of pork and chop it up, I did country style ribs tonight cause they are fattier. About 1/4 inch cubes then salt and pepper and cook. I usually do this at large gatherings in a disco but tonight it's in a simmering potI join Annie in expressing interest in a recipe for carnitas that you’d recognize/enjoy.
Cook until ummm cooked..so I'm making Chile come carne..or Chile Colorado. So after the pork was cooked I fished out some of the fattier pieces. I moved those pieces into a cast iron skillet and with about a tablespoon full of Manteca and cooked until they looked like this
Those are what I call carnitas. You can cut them smaller before you fry them up and put them in tacos with cilantro and lime. But we just eat them like this with some hot sauce, almost like pork rinds but 100* better
