ALToM: Carnitas (Mexican Pulled Pork)
You will find Carnitas served at almost every taco stand in Mexico; typically on a soft fresh tortilla with coriander, red onion and the house salsa. Traditionally, Carnitas (which translates to “little meats”) are made by simmering pork in a big copper pot with a huge amount of pork lard - I have created a simplified and healthier version while still capturing the authentic flavours of this delicious Michoacán dish.
