I can't explain to you how delicious the carnitas is...well, you already know!<br />My boyfriend (who is hispanic, from Santa Fe) said they were the best tacos he's every had. I covered the pot and actually only cooked the pork shoulder for 2 hours (I had a 3.5 lb). The meat was very tender and paired with the veggie puree+stock....I almost fell over! Served with grated mizithra (it was all I had, still delicious), creme fraiche, tomatillo and chipotle salsa, onions and cilantro.<br />Thank you so much for attempting this recipe, it was absolutely fantastic:)<br />PS-Oops, never got to the pickled veggies. But they look great;)<br />PPS-Couldn't find ancho chiles at my local Mexican grocer, so I substituted New Mexican red chiles and it was still great, but maybe not as spicy as the ancho.catlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12110371325313169431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2709955682732829877.post-64448761335787846412012-05-19T09:57:48.302-07:002012-05-19T09:57:48.302-07:00These look absolutely delicious!

As far as the pork goes, I believe in waiting for the magic moment of the braise. It's funny how a piece of meat can cook for something like 3 hours and not be "done," but at 3 hours and 15 minutes (or whatever) it's perfectly fork tender and falling apart. This is one of life's mysteries. Cooking low and slow is about dissolving the tough connective tissues that hold the meat together.la domestiquehttp://www.ladomestique.com/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2709955682732829877.post-86778176241635092222012-04-26T06:10:49.467-07:002012-04-26T06:10:49.467-07:00Sound wood countertops are pure goods made of wood...Sound <a href="http://kitchencountertopspot.com/" rel="nofollow">wood countertops</a> are pure goods made of wood via timber about 120 years.
