On waking this morning, my only day off, I decided to go two for two and make dinner for us again. It was definitely a day for carnitas. Grabbed some pork shoulder, put it in the slow cooker for five hours with cumin, paprika, chili powder, garlic, and green chiles. Whew. A hell of a pork chunk went in and shredded pieces came out.
PORK:
I chopped onion, diced tomatoes, julienned sweet peppers, chopped cilantro, and added lime juice with a dash of salt: salsa! So good. Few things get me as excited as fresh salsa and good pork
SALSA:
The finished product is these sweet babies…
