Corckpot (Super Awesome) Carnitas (from after the 24th grade)
Ingredients:
Pork shoulder (5-7 lbs; if you have a larger one, just up the other ingredients appropriately), thick waxy fat trimmed off
1/2 c sea salt
1/2 gallon water
2-3 tablespoons Ancho Chili Powder (depending on desired heat)
2 tablespoons Garlic Powder
1 tablespoon Cumin
A few turns of black pepper
2 tablespoons bacon fat (or lard)
Instructions:
Cube the meat (1.5-2 inch cubes) and place in 1/2 gallon water mixed with 1/2 cup Morton’s kosher salt (dissolved). Leave to brine 20-30 hours in a sealed container in the fridge. I cannot stress this enough: take the time to brine, people. Please please please.
Remove the pork from the brine and rinse under cool running water to make sure excess brine is washed off. Pat dry.
Combine with spices and mix with your hands to make sure all surface area is covered
Distribute into freezer bags — make sure to lay meat in a single layer – freeze as needed.
When ready – thaw in the bag – Remove pork from bags gently and lightly pat them dry. Reserve some of the juices from the bags and plop into the crockpot on high for 6 to 8 hours.
once cooked, remove from the crockpot and heat a heavy pan with the bacon fat until just about smoking. Add a small batch of meat, frying each side of the cubes, turning after about 30 seconds to 1 minute per side (you are aiming for a nice brown crust). Don’t rush this and don’t overcrowd the pan (there should be space between each piece of meat). Place on wire racks to drain while finishing the rest of the pork in small batches.
Serve as-is or shred the chunks. Feel free to drizzle some reserved juice over the meat before serving and/or serve with homemade guacamole, chopped onions and cilantro
