I made the best carnitas last night.
1 pork butt roast
1 onion sliced
4 cloves minced garlic
thyme, oregano, black pepper
1/2 can of coke or dr. pepper
cook in crockpot all day
My husband can’t handle the fat that comes off of the roast. it grosses him out. So I took the roast out when it was done and shredded it. poured off the juice from the crock pot into a skillet (pretty hot).
Let it reduce a little Added the pork to the skillet and let it fry in it’s own drippings. I added the other 1/2 of the soda. Keep an eye on it or it will burn.
Fry the pork to your liking. Serve with flour tortillas, beans, rice,. The whole family loved it.
