Best. Carnitas. Ever.
4 lbs boston butt pork roast
2 lbs lard
1 small orange (sliced, unpeeled)
Melt lard in large deep pot. Cut roast into 3-inch cubes and submerge in melted lard. Lard should cover meat; if it doesn't, add more lard. Add sliced, unpeeled orange. Bring lard to gentle boil (takes about 20-30 minutes). Keep boiling for another 2 hours. If pork is not browned, remove orange and continue boiling for another 20 minutes or so until browned. Remove and drain the pork and serve with whatever sounds good. I used guacamole, salsa, cheese, cabbage, etc.
Very easy, but allow about 3 hours cooking time minimum.
