I was skeptical when Ben told me last week that he was going to make homemade carnitas....I just thought 'uhhh'. I like it from the taco shop and I rarely get it because it is so fatty and makes me nauseous, but I do like it. He found the recipe here: http://www.elise.com/recipes/archives/004198carnitas.php
I will tell you two things about this:
1. This is EASY!
2. This is the best carnitas I have ever had
I really recommend this recipe and I suggest trying this one week. You can use this for tacos, empanada filling, soup, burritos, etc etc etc! With a snappy little salad on the side and some mashed avocado, fresh radishes and fresh made salsa and lime, you can't beat a tastier meal. I wanted to add that we use non GMO corn tortillas in our house. They are readily available, and if you have a choice, why add more junk to your system? You shouldn’t! Most corn, unless otherwise noted, is genetically modified (GMO). I suggest reading Michael Pollan’s The Omnivores Dilemma if you really want a nice picture of how this came about and what it is.
This was a great meal because we got to control how fatty it was, the quality of ingredients and we got to connect with our food.
A true whole food meal with a ton of flavor and love.

I was lucky enough to try the carnitas and they were so good! :)
oh my goodness, that was great info about the drano options!!! i am all about natural products as well. i use melaleuca, similar to the simple green (or something like that) you can get at the grocery store. it was a company i worked for during college in idaho. anyway, i'm excited for my next clog so i can try the baking soda and vinegar thing. thanks!
