Pork Recipes

Nice served with peanut sauce, somen noodles and a vegetable platter. Enjoy

This is really good if you can find real New Mexico chili powder.

This took some searching, but I found it!

There are a number of complicated professional recipes available, but require casings, plus drying and smoking. The above recipe makes a good home linguica. Enjoy..

Carnitas are always cooked in lard with fresh orange slices. The orange supplies moisture that lowers the temperature of the lard while the interior of the meat cooks. Once this moisture cooks away, the temperature of the lard rises, and the meat browns on the outside. The carnitas, when done, will have a dry, crispy exterior, with a moist, succulent interior. There is no substitute for the lard; oil just will not work for this recipe.

Serve in steamed tortillas with tomatoes, onions, cheese and cilantro. Great with refried beans and Cabbage Salad.

Check the cookbook. I just glanced at the recipe today, but that's the idea.

I've only seen 1 recipe, which is where I got this, that has the ingredients that Chipotle lists on their web site for their carnitas.
