CARNITAS RECIPE - FOOD NETWORK



Carnitas Recipe - Food Network image

It does not get any better than slow-roasted carnitas. This recipe differs slightly from what may be served in Old Mexico. Traditional carnitas are cooked in lard, pulled from the oil, chopped, and served directly in tacos and such. This versatile dish is one of our most requested at Salsa Brava. It can be served in tacos, burritos, omelets, or just about anything else you can imagine. We use free-range pork-no hormones, no antibiotics. Our choice for cut of meat is the pork butt. (Not to be confused with the actual pig's butt.) The pork butt is actually a shoulder cut, and it can be purchased with bone-in or out. The bone found in the butt is the clavicle, and any butcher can remove it, if preferred.

Total Time 3 hours 10 minutes

Prep Time 10 minutes

Cook Time 3 hours 0 minutes

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 tablespoons seasoned salt
4 pounds pork butt, cut into 2-inch cubes, some but not all of the fat removed
1 cup water
1 teaspoon liquid smoke
1 medium onion, quartered
5 large garlic cloves
Warm tortillas, for serving

Steps:

  • Sprinkle the pork with the seasoned salt.

BEST PORK CARNITAS – INSTANT POT RECIPES



Best Pork Carnitas – Instant Pot Recipes image

Provided by Chop Secrets

Prep Time 5 minutes

Cook Time 105 minutes

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 tbsp cumin
1 tbsp kosher salt
1 tbsp dried oregano
1 tsp chipotle chili powder
1 tsp smoked paprika
2 Oranges (cut in half)
2 limes (cut in half)
orange juice ( as needed (or water), Additional )
3-4 lb well-marbled pork shoulder (or butt cut into ~ 1 lb pieces and left at room temp for 15 minutes)
1 tbsp oil
2 cloves garlic (minced)
1 onion (quartered)
2 cinnamon sticks
Corn tortillas (or flour tortillas for serving)
1/2 cup chopped cilantro (Toppings (optional))
Avocado slices (Toppings (optional))
Lime wedges (Toppings (optional))

Steps:

  • Squeeze oranges and limes into a small bowl or measuring cup. Add additional orange juice (or water) to make 3/4 cup liquid, reserve rinds.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the Rub Mixture ingredients, then add the pork pieces and coat thoroughly.
  • Add oil to the Instant Pot. Using the display panel select the SAUTE function.
  • When oil gets hot, brown the pork on both sides, 2-3 minutes per side. Meat will not be cooked through. Do not crowd the pot--you may have to work in batches. Transfer browned meat to a shallow dish and cover loosely with foil.
  • Add garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until lightly browned.
  • Add orange/lime juice to the pot and deglaze by using a wooden spoon to scrape the brown bits from the bottom of the pot.
  • Add quartered onion to the pot and lay pork pieces on top of the onion. Place citrus rinds cut-side down on top of the pork. Drop in cinnamon sticks.
  • Turn the pot off by selecting CANCEL , then secure the lid, making sure the vent is closed.
  • Using the display panel select the MANUAL or PRESSURE COOK function*. Use the +/- keys and program the Instant Pot for 60 minutes.
  • When the time is up, let the pressure naturally release for 15 minutes, then quick-release the remaining pressure.
  • Carefully remove the pork from the pot to a parchment-lined baking sheet and shred. Pour 2/3 cup cooking juice over the meat.
  • Set the pan under the broiler until tips of pork are browned and slightly crisp, 3-5 minutes.
  • Serve warm on tortillas with your choice of toppings.
