Turning the pork shoulder over after cooking it on high for 3 hours.

My recipe for Carnitas. 
3 or 4 pounds of boneless pork shoulder
1 teaspoon of salt
3 garlic cloves roughly chopped 
1 teaspoon of ground cumin 
1/2 tablespoon of dried oregano 
1/2 teaspoon of ground coriander 
2 bay leaves 
1/4 tablespoon of cinnamon 
2 cups of chicken broth 
1/2 the juice of an orange 
Large burrito wraps

Step 1 gather all ingredients in a small bowl 
               Except the bay leaves and garlic 
Step 2 place pork in plastic bag. A grocery         
               bag works fine
Step 3 rub ingredients on the pork. 
Step 4 place bay leaves and garlic in the 
              slow cooker and Pour chicken broth   
                them.
Step 5 place pork in the slow cooker and 
               Add Orange juice. I also place a few 
               orange peels in along with the
                orange juice to break down
                the fibers and the cologne in the 
                 meat. Remove these peels at the 3 
                  hours time.           
Step 6 set slow cooker on high for 3 hours 
Step 7 after the 3 hours on high flip the pork     
               over. Set the  cooker on low for 
               2 hours or until the pork is tender.

Resists lifting the lid of the slow cooker and letting heat and moisture out. It will slow down the cooking. 
  • I make my carnitas burritos with  X large spinach burrito wraps, cheddar cheese, cilantro, avocado, sour cream and salsa. This can be served with Spanish rice , ,refried beans a salad and some salsa dip and chips. You’ll be the hit of the party. 

I have seen forums here about things like BBQ’s, dogs and cats, patio and garden and knitting. So I thought why not a forum about cooking and food. We all need it. We all like it. And we all want more.

I noticed how the members who criticize Martin go scurrying off this sight when Martin logs on. 
Enjoy.  Quack!

Looks tasty. I may try it. 
Looks good. I love the crock pot, hands off cooking, usually with spectacular results.

Hey Quacker. Feel free to use a thread I started a long while back. Having just one spot to post food ideas in, they are easier to hunt down
I was just over there George. Looks great. I definitely will try your stake and cheese sandwiches.

Because he’s a douchebag, Larry.  It’s a duck joke, just like he is.

Rolling carnitas* in a spinach wrap is about as sad as a quack can get.

* This is a vanilla recipe.  It’ll taste like the “carnitas” at your local Chi Chi’s.  Not bad, but nothing to write home about.

Real carnitas are seasoned and braised in lard.
