Test cook Christie Morrison and host Julia Collin Davison make mouthwatering Pork Carnitas. Next, tasting expert Jack Bishop challenges host Bridget …
Just made the pork and salsa recipe tonight, it was outrageously good. I had 6 pounds of shoulder meat, so mine didn’t brown up quite as much since my lard pot was crowded. That issue was quickly remedied with a sear on a stainless pan over medium-high heat and some of the lard from the pot. 30 seconds or so on each side and each pork chunk browned up beautifully without drying out or falling apart.
Also if you don’t like spicy food, half a green bell pepper substitutes the jalapeño well. Those that like spicy can simply add some green Cholula hot sauce to their tacos.
this is one of those channels that is a must sub to use as a reference for so many things from top notch reviews on things from appliances to groceries plus you get other vids with cultural recipes and history…i love it. it's such a welcome relief in a world flooded by BS amazon affiliate channels featuring reviews with little testing, no professional input and offering no unique or good info. this channel is the real deal. food wishes is another such channel, but it's only epic concise recipes delivered by chef john no product or ingredient reviews, but any time i make a dish or research a dish for the first time i always include his recipe in my references, and he has a recipe for just about everything
Have never made it seen this way. I've only seen it done in copper pots. The older gentleman explained that this is the only way to get the true traditional flavor. I purchased a cazo a number of year ago and still use his recipe. This looks and may taste just fine but it's a tad gringoized. It's an easy place to start though. And for really tasty twist and treat, try cold smoking the pork first.
The carnitas looked absolutely amazing!
Why not take the meat out of the hot lard and drain on a warm rack/ pan instead of leaving in the fat to soak up more fat? My parents and grandmothers always used lard. I need to use it more. It makes the best pie crust.
How many times are you going to teach chopping an onion? Jesus.
What is that oven? It seems very unique. Purple and curved back wall.
You say it is store bought lard but where I live in South Florida I can not find lard without citric acid.
No cheese for the carnitas tacos? 🙁
Very nice👍👍👍👍👏😊
Dang…I need those tacos in my face.
This is not carnitas, this was just pork cooked in lard. You did not flavor the meat at all. Your salsa, is either a texmex type of salsa, but not Mexican. This recipe made no sense and it's not carnitas🤮😑
I would have stopped there and had tostada s 😂😂😂 I wouldn't have been able to WAIT!
I gotta see that report LOL I’m from California
Lol why not have a real Mexican show us wtf to do. Y'all wanna be miss americas so bad.
If going through the trouble to make this, use fresh tomatillos. Theyre everywhere mexicans are and most people complain we are everywhere.That salsas going to be hella bitter if using fresh tomatillos. Canned must be treated somehow, since julias signature "ick" face wasnt present. Tomatillos are not tomatoes. I would suggest boiling fresh tomatillos in water with a pinch of baking soda and a serrano chile or jalapeno. Blend that with a clove of garlic a slice of white onion salt to taste. Pulse again with a ripe acocado and a few washed leaves of cilantro and a squeeze 1/4 of a lime. Cover and chill.Make this before you make you start cooking your meat….you'll thank me later.
I really love 💖 you and happy for everything about you!
I suggest you broil or put on your burner flip and char both sides, it adds a depth of flavor. just a short time: 3 seconds both sides.
As a Mexican from Michoacán born close to Uruapan, it was sad to see what was done to both carnitas and the salsa 😩.
I like how you guys even pronounce Carnitas. Most of the Mexican American nowadays Pronounce like they're ashamed of their Mexican background. 😝💯
Now They Pronounce:
Ckkkkarrrrrrrrr-kneeeeeeeeeeeetahhhhhhhhhhhhzzzzzz 🤦♂️
Thttttttttttthorrrrrrrrrrr-TeeeeeeeeeeYaaaahhhhhhhz 🤦♂️
Props to ATK ❤🥰
Been a while since I've seen Julia slicing & dicing. 🥰
That is the biggest crock they ever peddled!
I feel very lucky to be from Chicago. Outside of Mexico this is the best place for Mexican food.
💞💞👍🤪❤❤❤❤
ATK, I don't have a dutch oven, yet. How can I do this in my multi-function slow cooker instead?
Sugar and olive oil in the salsa verde??? That’s the only thing that’s wrong in the carnitas recipe, but it’s crazy wrong. Lol.
You lost me ar canned tomatillo's. I know most people can't get fresh, alsoI've never seen it canned.
The shrimp taco recipe is very innovative!
Both look amazing!
If I can't get lard, what is the best substitute? (carnitas). thanks
I’m so happy they fixed the 1990’s style film style on the taste test portion, plus they put a more varied audience (aka fewer blue hairs) making the show more appealing to people under 50
I wonder why they didn't roast the onions with the tomatillos?
I have no idea what tomatillos taste like, but that salsa looks really good here. Also, slightly different from the Bayless approach to carnitas (lard braised slow cooked pork shredded and fried up crisp in a pan at the end, plus guacamole and fire-roasted tomato salsa), but those big chunks of pork look awesome.
I've been watching ATK at Home on the website. I gotta say, I really miss this format with one host and a chef doing the demonstration.
Y’all need to learn that there is no heat in the seeds of a pepper!! Let me say this again, there is no heat in the seeds of a pepper!!!! Yes there is only heat in the placenta and the veins yes!!!!!! Yes you are giving people Bad information!!! Please correct yourself in the future!!!
Tacos Gobernador are delicious but I’ve never had or seen any that uses shredded lettuce of any kind. Excellent recipe nonetheless.
I’m just here to say the horizontal cut when dicing an onion is completely unnecessary. The onion is already divided in layers that are essentially brunoise size. It’s dangerous and demonstrated here to be unnecessary as she completely bisects the onion.
That sauce looks awesome! You could probably do it in a blender, and also just do bigger onion slices (as opposed to the large dice in the video). Adding the whole garlic clove, instead of microplaning it as it seems she did, may eliminate some of the heavier garlic spice while still nicely incorporating it into the salsa. 🙂
I have a 'boat-load' of halibut I caught in Alaska last month.
I think I'll try these with the halibut.
Hope it works!
NOT THE BEST RECIPE FOR PORK CARNITAS, NOT EVEN CLOSE. NO FREAKIN WAY, CUALQUIERA DE NUESTRAS ABUELAS, MADRES, TIAS O HERMANAS COCIAN CARNITAS MEJOR QUE ESTO…. SI O NO RAZA?????????????
