In about 8-9 hours we'll be chowing down Carnitas.



2.5 pound pork shoulder trimmed, rinsed, patted dry and liberally salted and peppered.

Create a slurry: 2 tblsp olive oil. 1 tsp cumin, 2 tsp oregano, 1 tsp paprika, 2 tsp brown sugar. Mix well and let sit for at least 10 mins. Cut the shoulder in half and then rub them down with the slurry making sure to get into every nook and cranny.

Place in a slow cooker. Top with a roughly chopped onion, 4 cloves sliced garlic, and a sliced jalapeno (seeds and veins removed). Quarter an orange and squeeze the juice over everything. Leave the quarters in the pot.

More to follow....

Let rest in the fridge for about 30 minutes and then shred apart. Add some olive oil to a pan and then let it get nice and crusty. Be sure to add a bit more S&P at this point. Tonight we had it with pita bread, guacamole, and pico di gallo.

Put your face inside a preheated 425 degree oven. Cook until you're dead. Feast and enjoy. True love is auto and/or regular cannibalism.

Doing a stew either tomorrow or Saturday, probably tomorrow as Saturday is curry & beer day at monkeytennis Towers.

I've never done a stew before, done Cawl but not this, any tips

This looks OK - Beef & vegetable casserole | BBC Good Food

Slow cooking the shit out of the beef.
