Instructions
-
Cook's Note: Have your butcher cut the pork into 4 pieces.
-
Rub in some salt and pepper into the pork pieces. Marinate in the juice of the oranges, oregano, thyme, garlic cloves and condensed milk overnight in the refrigerator.
-
Heat the pork lard, some salt and the granulated garlic in a large pot over medium heat. The lard should be at a mild boil. Add the pork and slow cook, stirring regularly, until tender, about 1 1/2 hours. Place the pork skin in with the pork until it goes from pink to brown, about 15 minutes. Remove and dice both the pork and pork skin.
-
Serve the carnitas in a tortilla or on a plate with chopped cilantro, diced onion and lime slices.
