Pork...Its What's For Dinner...

[simply dave]

I know I posted the recipe, but never the pics. Here we have my sought after carnitas dinner alongside an excellent Mexican Rice (not for the timid!) and Escabeche (pickled jalapenos w/ carrots, garlic, onion).

Here's the beauty of this dish..Not only is it too easy, since you boil the pork and shred it before you fry it, you can take the boiled/shredded pork and freeze it for later! That's exactly what I did tonight as you can see the Carnitas in the Foodsaver bag alongside the Escabeche and Tomatillo Sauce with veggies from the garden...

Sure thing. I'll dig it up tomorrow and shoot it to ya. It's a 2 step process of "cooking" the batch and then canning. Takes about 1 hour start to finish.

The sweet potato? That one is easy as well. I simply halve and slice the sweet potatoes (1/4-3/8 inch maybe), get a saute pan good and hot, add some olive oil to it and then...

Toss in the sweet potatoes along w/ some diced onion, rosemary, thyme, kosher salt and white pepper. Turn frequently until the potatoes are nicely coated in the oil and herbs. At this point I throw in some dry white wine, lower the heat and cover. Turn occasionally and make sure the potatoes don't dry out too much. Simmer for about 15-20 until the potatoes are nice and tender.
