  1. Looks like a pretty darn good recipe for carnitas! Being Cuban-American, I tend to like my pork with some extra flavor on there on top of the fat, namely garlic, oregano, cumin, onion, and citrus juice. But I gotta say this looks pretty tasty!

  2. highly suggest AGAINST using store bought lard unless it comes from the butcher shops, store bought lard is VERY unhealthy and has chemicals in it to preserve it, which is NOT what you want to make Carnitas with.
