Diana Kennedy's Carnitas [plus 2 others]
Ingredients
  • AUTHOR NOTES
  • The magic of pork + water + salt -- a genius recipe from The Cuisines of Mexico by Diana Kennedy. - Genius Recipes
  • Test Kitchen-Approved
  • What You'll Need
  • Ingredients
  • 3 pounds pork shoulder, butt, or country-style spare ribs, skin and bone removed
  • Cold water to barely cover
  • 2 teaspoons salt, or to taste
  • Directions
  • Cut the meat, with the fat, into strips about 2 x ¾ inches. Barely cover the meat with water in a flameproof dish, add the salt, and bring it to a boil, uncovered.
  • Lower the flame enough to bring down to a simmer. Let the meat continue simmering until all the liquid has evaporated -- about 1 hour and a half, depending on the shape of your pot. By this time the meat should be cooked through but not falling apart.
Note: Ingredients may have been altered from the original.
