Scrumptious Sunday ~ National Pork Month ~ Traditional Carnitas - YUMMY!

Scrumptious Sunday hosted by Meredith at Mercedes Rocks
CARNITAS (my most favorite way to make this recipe)

2-3 pound boneless pork roast with fat
1 can Old El Paso verde enchilada sauce
1 large onion, chopped fine
2 cloves garlic, minced, Jar
sea salt
white pepper

• Pre-heat oven to 300 degrees.
  
• Lightly spray your baking dish with PURE.
• GENEROUSLY salt and pepper both sides of your roast. Put in the baking dish.
• Cover the roast with the onion pieces.
  
• Whisk the minced garlic into your enchilada sauce.
• Pour over the onions and roast to coat well.
• Cover loosely with foil.
• Bake for 3 hours or until fork tender.
• Remove to cutting board with a juice well.
• Shred the meat and return to pan with the juices.
• Increase heat to 325 degrees.
  
• Cook uncovered 30 minutes until tops are slightly crispy.
• Turn the meat and bake another 30 minutes. There should be virtually no juices left.
• Serve with warm tortillas, guacamole and salsa.

This makes enough for 4 large burritos. It is a lot of time and work so I usually double everything and then portion out for freezer packs.
