Homesick Texan Carnitas

Tonight for dinner Jeni decided to try the recipe for these carnitas that she saw on the Smitten Kitchen blog. We were talking about our love for mexican food and the lack of good quality recipes when dining out. I think we have found our new favorite! The method of cooking the pork was something neither of us had done before, and it yielded the most awesome results! The last part of the process is the most time intensive, but well worth it! Of course, having a large roasting pan on two burners really helped render the fat and crisp up the meat. We had some lime slices, cilantro (of course), avacado, queso fresco and salsa verde as options - along with the corn tortillas. We did not make the slaw but decided it would be a good addition next time.
