Simpy's Carnitas


Over the year's people have called me simpy, hence the recipe name. about 10 years ago, i have never heard of carnitas, i had it one time in a restaurant and wanted to make it all the time. i found out how easy it was and just put my own twist on it. this is a very easy dish to make and very delicious.

Steps


Cut the pork meat into 2-3 inch chunks and discard big pieces of fat , leave some fat as it adds to the flavor.
Chop the cilantro and quarter the onion.
In a large pot add the pork , onion , cilantro , cumin and chicken broth.
Turn to medium-high heat.
If necessary , add more chicken broth so that the meat is covered.
Bring to a boil , reduce heat to low , cover and simmer for about 3-4 hours or until the meat is very soft and pulls apart easily.
Remove the meat and place it in a roasting pan , discarding the onion and broth.
Bake for about 20 minutes at 450 degrees , until the meat is brown and crispy.
Serve with corn or flour tortillas , pico de gallo , hot sauce , sour cream , avocado , cheese , lettuce or what ever you like.
