Crispy Pork with Avocado Salsa and Tomato Salsa
Yield: 8 servings 4 pounds boneless country-style pork ribs 2 cups (or more) water 1 1/2 cups fresh orange juice 6 garlic cloves, peeled 2 teaspoons fine sea salt 1 teaspoon grated orange peel 1/4 cup brandy Warm corn tortillas Avocado Salsa Fresh tomato salsa Cut pork pieces crosswise into thirds. Cut off any big chunks of fat from pork and reserve; leave small pieces of fat attached to pork. Combine pork, reserved fat, 2 cups water, and next 4 ingredients in deep 12-inch skillet. Bring to boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer until pork is tender, stirring occasionally, about 1 hour 45 minutes, adding more water by 1/4 cupfuls if necessary to keep pork partially submerged. Uncover; boil pork mixture until liquid is reduced by half, about 10 minutes. Stir in brandy; boil until liquid evaporates and meat browns and begins to get crisp, stirring often, about 15 minutes. Cool meat slightly. Discard any loose pieces of fat. Tear meat into strips; return to skillet. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.) Add 2 tablespoons water to skillet. Cover and rewarm pork over medium-low heat, stirring, about 5 minutes. Season with more salt, if desired. Transfer to bowl. Serve with warm tortillas, Avocado Salsa, and tomato salsa.

This recipe has been adapted for the home cook: Meaty pork ribs are boiled, then fried in their own fat until browned. Use either purchased fresh tomato salsa or Tomato, Onion, and Serrano Chile Salsa . Accompany the carnitas with Classic Red Rice and beans. Pat’s note: Yummy pork. Sometimes I make different salsas to go with the pork instead of using the salsa recipes attached to the pork recipe. Link: http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/108049 |
