So is a carnita just flavored pulled meat, or does it have to be in a shell/bread?

It is usually served with a side of tortillas but the carnita itself is a braised pork often the butt.

I just found a place near me (not an easy thing to do in Ohio! lol) that sells carnitas and the meat just melts in your mouth!

I wish I could join in, but this is my busy week. (or should I say month) I have two monster tests Weds. night at work I am coordinating. If I get this week out of the way I should be good till sea trials, busy but not loosing my mind. Good luck to you all, I will be chearing from the sidelines. If I take Friday off I may try and get in if I'm not in a coma. LOL

Re: Iron Chef International

i think it's a great idea..
Okay...you asked for a pork recipe right?
Here's mine... this joint costs under £5 why? because most British people turn their nose up 'cause it's called hand of pork...takes nearly 5 hours to cook, then you have to use tongs to pull out the meat...but it's the tastiest pork I've ever had....& the crackling is awesome!

Slowly Roasted Hand of Pork

Serves 4
Prep Time 15 mins
Cooking Time 4hrs 45 mins
Ingredients

  • Hand of pork, on the bone (approx 4kg)
  • Salt and pepper
Method

  • Place the hand of pork on a clean surface and pat dry
  • Using a sharp knife, score the skin through to the fat, avoid cutting into the meat
  • Turn the joint over so that the skin is on a flat surface
  • Season the meat with salt and pepper, rub into the meat
  • Turn the joint back over, and rub a teaspoonful of salt into the skin
  • Put the joint into a roasting dish
  • Roast in a preheated oven (middle shelf) at 220°C/425°F/gas mark 7 for 30 minutes
  • After 30 minutes, check the meat, the skin should be starting to blister, if not put back for another 15 minutes
  • Remove the joint from the oven and cover with aluminium foil, sealing around the edge of the roasting dish
  • Lower the heat to 170°C/325°F/gas mark 3, cook for 3 hours, again on middle shelf
  • Remove joint from the oven, and discard foil
  • Spoon off fat, leaving 4 Tbsp for basting

  • Skin should now be crisp
  • See Cook’s tips

They have good burgers but the noise level is usually more than I can take. That tin ceiling and a few loud kids is an unbearable combination. :bonk:
