Finally got a chance to make carnitas

Mrs. K.A.M.

Thank you Denny for your help.

I got some thick pork steaks, cut them up and marinated them in lime juice and salt all day while I was at work.

Got the lard melting in my Discada, used Denny's handy dandy thermometer holder idea Wink

Grease up to temp and dropping in the meat.

Frying nicely.

Cool Blue Flame Cool

Almost done.

Done.

Kevin had a good idea, fry some chips and the corn torts.

Plated with homemade salsa and pintos Very Happy

romex2121, Thanks, I brought the lard to just under 400�, but when I dropped the meat in the lard, the temp drops to about 350�, and it stayed around that until it was done. I prefer to just hold out my plate but sometimes I like it when k.a.m. holds out his plate Wink
