Recipes:
![Carnitas
SERVINGS: 4-5 servings
COOK TIME: 45 minutes (depending on meat selection)
INGREDIENTS:
4 lbs of Boneless pork shoulder
1 jar F+F Effortless Carnitas Starter
3 tablespoons Chopped Cilantro
Chicken Stock or Water as needed (optional)
Juice of one lime
Salt and Pepper
Olive Oil
STARTER INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Trim 4lbs of boneless pork shoulder into one-inch pieces and season heavily with salt and pepper. Set aside.
2. Heat oil in a pan and sauté the seasoned pork pieces on all sides until they are browned.
3. Remove the browned pork from the heat and let it rest (it will not be fully cooked at this point). Reserve any juices the meat may release while resting.
4. Return the pork to the pan and add one full jar of F+F Effortless Carnitas Starter. Simmer and cook slowly until the pork is tender and soft, which usually takes between 45 minutes to 1 hour. Add in water or chicken stock if the liquid evaporates too much.
5. Alternatively, you may place the pork and sauce in a slow cooker and cook on high for 4-6 hours.
6. Serve with a side of corn tortillas and finish with fresh lime juice and cilantro.
