Carnitas is delicious braised, shredded pork, equally tasty served on its own or with salsa verde (green sauce of tomatillos) and salsa roja (a good red salsa) and Mexican tortillas.

This is your basic recipe. But a variety of other ingredients can spice up miso:

Leeks, sliced or chopped, Okra, chopped
Butternut squash, thinly sliced
Snow pea pods
Green beans
Daikon, thinly sliced
Potatoes, thinly sliced

Made this for Jen and she loved it, has been asking for the recipe to be posted here. Of course, I lost it and it’s taken me 3 months to find it online again. So, saved here for all time…Ropa Vieja. Carribean/Cuban Beef Stew in the Crockpot. So named because when done right, the meat should ‘fray’ the way old clothes do in the wash.

Good served with fried chorizo or ham and fresh crusty bread.
