Ingredients:

1 Pinch of Pepper

1 Package of Corn Tortillas

5 Kilograms of Pork (preferably leg)

2 Kilograms of Pork Backbone

1 Kilogram of Pork Rib

2 Liters of Oil (preferably soy or safflower)

1 Unit of large Onion

6 Laurel Leaves

2 liters of water

¼ Cup Soy Sauce

½ Liter of natural Orange Juice

½ Liter of cola soda

1 pinch of salt

Steps to prepare pork carnitas

To start preparing this dish, take a container and place the pork (leg) cut into pieces to taste. Add the soy sauce to absorb it. If you wish, you can prick the meat with a fork so that the sauce penetrates it. Let it sit for an hour.

Meanwhile, prepare a saucepan to cook this meat and the rest of the pork pieces. It is preferable that you cook it over a wood fire and outside. After the resting hour, light the wood (or the kitchen fire) and put the saucepan to heat. Add the oil, onion and two bay leaves to cure the oil.

Wait until the onion is golden, remove it when it is well burned and add the meat along with the backbone and the ribs. Stir everything well and let it cook for 20 minutes. After time, pour in the orange juice and water and cook everything for 2 hours.

When the meat has almost no water, add the cola soda to give color to the food. Stir everything and add salt if you consider it necessary. If it requires more cooking time, add a little more water.

When the pieces are well cooked, drain them and serve them on corn tortillas. To make your own corn tortillas, follow the steps in this recipe. If you like spicy, this dish is usually seasoned with a sauce made from chillies.

3. BBQ PORK RIBS

Ingredients:

For the marinade we need:

1/2 teaspoon cloves

1 teaspoon cumin powder

1 teaspoon cinnamon powder

1 tablespoon black pepper

1 tablespoon sweet or guava pepper

2 tablespoons of coarse salt

4 sprigs of rosemary

10 bay leaves

10 sprigs of thyme

12 cloves of garlic

Zest of 2 oranges

3 tablespoons smoked paprika

250 ml balsamic vinegar

1 cup orange juice

2 cups ketchup (I always use Heinz Ketchup)

1 cup of honey

½ cup vegetable oil

In a large mortar we add the cloves, cumin, cinnamon, peppers and salt…. We grind well until we obtain a homogeneous powder. Separately, on a board, we chop the garlic, rosemary, thyme and orange zest until we have very small pieces of each of them… patience is the secret of this recipe. We mix the spices with the herbs in a large cup and add the rest of the ingredients: bay leaf, paprika, balsamic vinegar, orange juice, tomato sauce, honey and oil. We mix with a wooden spoon and let it rest for an hour.

Ingredients Ribs (6 people)

4 pounds pork ribs, cut into medium pieces

2 pounds of pork leg cut into 5 cm pieces

5 cloves of garlic

¼ cup lemon juice

3 cups of marinade

I always make this recommendation because I think it is important, we must buy meat in safe places where the cold chains required to guarantee the quality of the products are managed. As the pork reduces its size during cooking, the quantities I suggest are enough for 6 or 7 people… They are so delicious that they will surely want to repeat.

We chop the garlic and mix it with the lemon. With a very sharp knife we ​​make small cuts in the meat so that the marinade can fill everything with flavor. In a cup, we put the pork and add the lemon and garlic mixture, taking care to cover the entire surface, let it rest for 30 minutes and remove the excess liquid that we have obtained, dry the meat with an absorbent towel and add the marinade, Ideally, I recommend marinating for 4 hours.

We put the pork in a large baking dish and put it in the oven (preheated to 220 degrees Celsius) for 1 hour. It is important to cover the container with aluminum foil so that the pork stays moist. We take it out of the oven, turn it over and cook it for another 30 minutes. We let the meat rest and seal it over the charcoal on the very, very hot grill. 5 minutes on each side and we repeat the operation until the ribs and meat are completely roasted. So that they do not lose moisture, it is important to paint with the marinade that we have left in the refractory. We serve very hot and we can accompany it with baked potatoes, arepas and vegetables sautéed over charcoal…
