MaryAnne Deering thank you. It’s tastes even better than it looks. Stay safe

Just made these yesterday!! WOW!!! The aroma while these cooked was incredible and the flavor of the tacos was amazing. Seriously some of the best I've ever had. I could not find kumquats so I quartered a large orange instead. At the end I pulled some of the flesh from the orange pieces and chopped it into the pork. Can't wait to make these again!

I'm so glad I found this video. This technique and flavor profile has rendered the best home carnitas for sure. I think using a good cast iron enamel dutch oven is a key factor. I put it on a burner after it was done to make sure it was fully reduced and not soupy, and to get that crisp that makes me love carnitas in the remaining fat. For convenience, I substituted chili powder for the anchos and had to use regular oranges. When I saw it called for cinnamon stick I knew this was The Recipe. I'll be making it this way from here on, thank you.

But I think they look great and you put a nice twist to them. I want to try them soooo bad. There's this ingredient I would like to try in them, it's Fish Sauce, it's an Asian ingredient but fish sauce is used a lot in pork in their culture and it really gives chicken and pork a really caramel and nice taste to it. Even though I HATE the fish sauce smell. Anyways, GREAT job. I'm gonna try making them in the oven without my parents knowing.

You will absolutely love it !!

That looks very good! Simple too. Only ingredient I may not have is fresh roasted cumin. But I have home made chicken stock rather than box stock from the store. So that is a huge plus.

I made this last night! But did not eat it until today. Last night I put the whole baking dish in the fridge to chill and allow the pork fat to harden like Crisco. Today I took it out of the fridge and removed all the fat I could with a big spoon. That left the meat and chicken broth with all the yummy seasoning flavors ( some fat of course, I didn't get it all out ) I put the dish in the oven (covered at 350 degrees) to heat up. Pretty tasty! I like it best with the meat on a warm corn tortilla sprinkled with the chicken broth it cooked in. I fished around for onion and kumquats to add on too, then topped it off with home made Pico di Gallo. No dairy. All I need to do is make some minor adjustments to the seasoning. More kumquats, a little more salt. I used a 1/2 a fresh pablano pepper. Next time I will use a whole one. The rest of the seasoning was pretty close. By all accounts, a really good meal! I think it would have been too greasy if I had not skimmed the fat. Made enough for 3 adults and enough left overs for 3 adults again.

I made these today for the family and they are delicious. Best Tacos i ever made. Thank you for this recipe! :)

My pleasure. I’m glad you agree !

Perfect! Love different variations used to prepare carnitas. This one, too, is "out of the park", home run!

Thanks so much ! I have made it so many times and people lose their minds.

Yes, absolutely you can use beef. The orange and beef is a great combo. Make sure to use a similar cut that is ideal for slow braising so you get that same melt in your mouth texture. Thanks for watching

@@ChristineCushing ok wonderful Thanks

These look amazing! I’ve never thought of trying to braids them in the oven. I may have to try that sometime. My spouse is a vegetarian so it would just be me eating these. Have you ever frozen them? I wonder what the best method would be. I’m thinking freezing in individual servings with a little of the leftover fat. Then when I want some, letting it thaw and reheating in the bit of fat just to recrisp and prevent it from drying out.

Just in time for the weekend!

These would be perfect for the weekend and there's very little active cooking. The oven does all the work. So glad you enjoyed it

Do you ever use the liquid you soaked the ancho chili in for part of the liquid you add?
