List of Ingredients
4 pounds pork loin, cut in very large pieces
1 1/2 quarts chicken broth
1 large onion, quartered
1 tablespoon cumin
1 tablespoon coriander
2 teaspoons dry oregano
4 chipotle chiles, canned or dry
2 bay leaves
water
saltRecipe
To a 7- to 8-quart pan, add pork, broth, onion, coriander, cumin, oregano, chilies in sauce, sauce, and bay leaves. Add water to cover the pork. Cover the pan and bring to a boil on high heat, then reduce heat and simmer until meat pulls apart easily with a fork, 2 to 3 hours. Strain broth. Cover pork with enough broth to keep moist and use remaining broth for Spiced Black Beans (see recipe below). To bake carnitas, pull pork large shreds and place in a shallow baking dish. Spoon some broth over to keep moist. Broil pork until slightly crisp (watching carefully), turn, moisten if necessary and broil again.
