Thanks. It is almost crazy how tender it is an how easily it fell apart. Think I am going to take a nap (I work second shift and am not used to being up at 630) then make tortillasLooking real good there Owen, good job.
Mole Sauce???
I like to see how you make the Mole sauce (process & ingredients).
If there's anything I make without any sort of recipe, it's mole. It's basically a case of toasting and reconstituting every dried pepper you have (you'll need at least a half dozen varieties), toasting and grinding three quarters of your spice rack, and dumping in half of your pantry. They'll be nuts, shredded tortillas, piloncillo, dark chocolate, roasted tomatoes, tomatillos, onions- you name it. Every one is different. Cook forever.
Making these carnitas today. it was already smelling amazing by the time I left my house. I can't wait to eat this!
Like I said someone needs to step up and start a new Thread titled "Holy Mole", or "My Little Mole", or "Are you Sure that's Not My Mole?" Go back and look at my enchiladas thread. It has a short version of mole. No chocolate or almonds but a start. Our chili sauce in the Texas Red thread is similar.
I can't wait either, I have nothing cooking in the house. So it's up to you.
....Pictures or it didn't happen
Here is my chicken carnitas in all their glory!
I'm going to pick up some pork shoulder the next time I'm at the grocery store and try my hand at these carnitas. Showed the recipe to the LOML and she is all in.
Its so so easy to make. Just set and forget. One Orange is plenty. For me a few more cloves of garlic was needed. Don't add any liquid. Just let the meat, onion and orange provide that. Add some guacamole and a squeeze of lime for a simple, healthy dish.
