Crispy Slow-Roasted Carnitas
 
 
Makes 6-8 servings
Ingredients
  • 3 tablespoons chili powder
  • 3 tablespoons ground cumin
  • 3 tablespoons sea salt
  • 1½ tablespoons dried oregano
  • 2¼ teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
  • 4 pounds boneless pork shoulder, cut into 6 pieces
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 small onions, quartered
  • 8 garlic cloves, smashed
  • 6 cups chicken broth
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the chili powder, cumin, salt, oregano and pepper. Season pork with spice mixture and toss to coat.
  3. Warm olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Arrange pork in the pot in a single layer and cook, turning occasionally, until browned all over.
  4. Nestle onion and garlic between pork and add chicken broth. Cover and bake for 4 hours or until meat is fork tender. Remove from the oven and discard onion and garlic.
  5. Transfer pork to a large bowl and shred with your fingers or two forks. Add pork back to pot with cooking liquid and toss to combine.
  6. When ready to serve, use a slotted spoon to transfer pork to a baking sheet and arrange in a single layer. Broil for 10 minutes, stirring halfway through.
