Carnitas are an extremely popular Mexican dish that originated in the central part of that country. Now you can have them "on-call" in your freezer for a quick and easy dinner whenever you like - just heat and eat. We take the loin & belly cuts of our pasture-raised pork - both the lean and fatty cuts - and braise them with a variety of smoky Mexican spices (a mix of cumin, coriander, paprika, and others) until the meat falls apart with a fork. The instant it's ready, we spoon it into 300g tubs and flash freeze to -40c. Reheating Instructions: For best results remove the container from the freezer, place it on a plate or tray and allow it to thaw in the fridge overnight. For quicker defrosting use the defrost function on your microwave. Microwave Transfer the content onto a microwave-proof bowl. Heat on medium-high for 2 - 3 minutes, until heated through. Oven Spread the content onto a tray or oven-safe container and heat it up in a preheated oven at 150 c for about 10 minutes. For extra crispness turn up the oven to 200c for extra 2 - 4 minutes till your liking. Stovetop Place the content on a pan and heat up on low - medium heat till it is heated through. For extra crispness put your pan on high heat for a few minutes till you hear the crackling sound Ingredients: Pasture-raised pork loin & belly, jalapeño, white onion, capsicum, tomatoes, cumin, paprika, oregano, extra virgin olive oil, white wine vinegar.
