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.
