14. Ako se tečnost u kojoj ste kuvali stvrdnula, zagrejte je u šerpi pre nego što je dodate svinjetini.

15. Postavite rešetku rerne 10 do 12 cm ispod roštilja i uključite ga.

16. Stavite svinjetinu ispod i pecite dok ne postane hrskava i karamelizovana, 3 do 5 minuta. Dok pečete, promešajte jednom ili dvaput i pažljivo gledajte, jer mogu brzo da izgore.

Ingredients: 1.8 kg pork shoulder with the fat left on, 2 teaspoons fine sea salt, 1 teaspoon ground black pepper, 4 tablespoons avocado oil or melted pork lard, 1 medium orange (halved), 1 medium onion (quartered), 5 cloves of garlic, 1 dry bay leaf, 1 cinnamon stick (broken in half).

Preparation:

1. Season the pork on all sides with the salt and pepper.

2. Cut the pork into 5 cm (2-inch) chunks.

3. Add 2 tablespoons of the oil to a wide, heavy-bottomed, oven-safe pot.

4. Adjust an oven rack towards the lower third of the oven. Preheat the oven to 150 C (300 F).

5. Place pork chunks with the fattiest side facing up, in a large baking dish. 

6. Squeeze the oranges over the pork and place them around it. Scatter the onion, garlic, cinnamon stick, and bay leaf around the pork. Drizzle the remaining oil over everything. 

7. Cover the pot with its lid and slowly bake in the oven until the pork is fork tender, 3 to 3 ½ hours.

8. If your baking dish doesn't have the lid, cover with aluminium foil.

9. Transfer the pork to a cutting board and cool until you can handle it. 

10. Pull the pork with your fingers in the small strips. Discard the bone, if there is one, any connective tissue, and larger clumps of fat.

11. Strain the cooking liquid and save it. 

12. Discard the onion, oranges, and spices.

13. Spread the shredded pork meat - carnitas on a baking sheet and pour enough of the saved cooking liquid to moisten them.

14. If your cooking liquid has solidified, rewarm it in a saucepan before adding it to the pork.

15. Set an oven rack 10 to 12 cm (4 to 5) inches below the broiler and turn it on.

16. Slide the pork underneath and broil until the pork crisps and caramelizes, 3 to 5 minutes. 

As you broil, stir once or twice, and keep a close eye on them, as they can burn quickly.

17. Use carnitas - soft pulled pork in tacos, burritos, salads, rice, or with side dishes.

18. Store the carnitas and cooking liquid in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.


Slow cooker carnitas

Place the pork in a slow cooker, and arrange veggies and spices as in the recipe. Close the lid and cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours. When the carnitas are fork-tender, pulled them with fingers and then crisp them up using your broiler, as explained in the recipe.
