Haven't fired up the disco in a while. I love traditional carnitas (minus the feet and the skins). Maxed out the disc with 10 lbs of pork butt, and two racks of ribs. They have to be fried (and then brazed) in lard only, no cooking oil. For those that may not know, cooking carnitas is done in two steps. 1) Fry the meat until you have some color, just a little crispy. 2) Braise & season the meat until it is tender. Turn your fire down and add the rest of your ingredients to season the meat (oranges with the peel, lime juice, 1 onion, head of peeled garlic, 1 Shiner Black cerveza, 1 bottle of Messican Coke, 1 can of condensed milk, a little salt water). Simmer/braise until the meat is tender. You want crispy outside, and tender inside. Round one, served with some homemade salsa verde/onions cilantro lime/ rice & beans/avocado. I'm stuffed lol. Thanks for lookin'.

I like the move with the ribs. Yessr, they are tasty. Bones pull right out, then just shred/chop. I probably cooked too much for my crowd though.

I prefer wild pork shoulders and ribs, but I’m out right now. I also like fried wild pork ribs. I saw the rib cage in half or thirds (depending on size), then separate all the ribs. Rinse off, and into a pot of peanut oil until they are crispy. Toss with Cajun seasoning (Magic Dust) fresh out of the oil just like cracklins. Goes great with a cold beverage. These are always a hit around camp.

Do you drain the lard before you add the stuff and braise? I'd think so but doesn't look like you did.

The lard is good not just for flavor, but it will also let you add in liquids without it blowing up on you. That's one of the reasons I say using cooking oil is a no no. You can use cooking oil, but you have to kill your fire/let cool down/add liquids/fire back up.

Heck yes! Spent many moons in Hell Paso before I left the best mexican food on the planet for greener pastures. That right there is authentic Carnitas! I'm damn jealous and will be trying to imitate your genius. Oh and SNOW CAP LARD is an absolute necessity!
