Carnitas

Recipe : Carnitas
Procedure :

5 pounds bone-in pork shoulder or pork butt

4 cups chicken broth

1 large onion -- quartered

1 tablespoon coriander seeds

1 tablespoon cumin seeds

1 teaspoon dried oregano

3 chipotle chilies in adobo sauce

2 bay leaves

1. Place pork, broth, onion, coriander, cumin, oregano, chilies if using, and bay leaves in a 5- to 6-quart pan. Add enough water to just cover the meat. Cover the pan and bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until meat pulls apart easily with a fork (3 to 4 hours).

2. Lift our meat (reserve broth for other uses, if desired). Discard fat. Place pork in a large roasting pan and bake, uncovered, in a 450? oven until sizzling and browned (about 20 minutes). Pull off chunks of meat and shred with 2 forks, discarding fat.
