Low-Carb Paleo Carnitas

Naturally low carb and gluten-free, these are the best carnitas I have ever tasted. And I didn't mind testing this recipe over, and over, and over...

Prep Time 10 minutes

Cook Time 15 minutes

Total Time 5 hours 25 minutes

Servings 10 servings

Calories 119 kcal per serving

• 4 lb boneless pork butt the fattier the better!
• salt
• pepper
• 1/4 cup Pure lard or duck fat (or even bacon grease)
• 1 cup water
• 1/2 orange cut into quarters
• 1 lime cut into quarters
• 1 tsp cumin
• 1 tsp oregano
• 1 in chipotle pepper adobo, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic minced
• salt to taste
• pepper to taste

1. Preheat oven to 300F. Season pork butt all over with salt and pepper.

2. In a large dutch oven, melt lard or duck fat over medium heat. Once hot, add pork roast and brown well on all sides.

3. Add water to the bottom of the pan. Hand squeeze the juice of the orange sections and lime sections into the pan and add the rind as well. Add cumin, oregano, chipotle, and garlic. Bring to a simmer, then cover and transfer the pot to the oven.

4. Let cook 5 hours, until pork is tender and can easily be pierced with a fork. Remove from the liquids onto a foil lined cookie sheet and let stand until cook enough to shred with your hands (some bigger pieces are okay).

5. Spread pork out over cookie sheet and set under the broiler for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to get pork pieces nice and crisp.

6. Meanwhile, remove orange and lime rinds from the liquids in the pot. Set over medium high heat and bring a boil. Cook until liquids are reduced by half. Add crispy pork back into the liquids and toss to combine. Season to taste with additional salt and pepper.

7. Serve over cauliflower rice and top with your favorite fixings like cheese, guacamole, and cilantro.

It can be more servings than this easily, if you pair it with cauli rice, guacamole, cheese, etc. A half serving with all the trimmings was quite enough for me.
