It's been awhile. I haven't had many requests for recipes lately, so I've been slacking! But now, I'm going to switch my focus just a teeny bit. My oldest is moving out on his own and needs some easy, inexpensive recipes. Here is the first in the "series".
Easy Pork "Carnitas"
Carnitas are supposed to be fried in lard, I believe. I don't do that. But this recipe is still pretty yummy!
A bottle of Herdez tomatillo salsa (or another brand - doesn't matter)
Cut the meat into chunks, toss everything into a crockpot and cook 6-8 hours on low, or until you can shred it with a fork. Serve with tortillas and fixings (see the following). If you want a little texture, scoop out the meat and little juice, put it on a baking sheet and broil in the oven for a few minutes, stirring every minute or so, until crispy. Yum!
Crema
I don't know how authentic this is, but it's very tasty on the pork!
2 Tbsp mayonnaise
2 tsp chipotle in adobo sauce
Mix and let sit for at least a half-hour for the best flavor.
Coleslaw
Get a bag of coleslaw from the grocery store. You can either mix it with some chipotle ranch dressing or you can make a dressing. I do not have measurements, but here are the ingredients.
Honey (just a touch)
Yogurt or sour cream
Minced onions or scallions
Minced chipotle in adobo sauce (to taste)
Mix and let sit about a half-hour for the best flavor.
