CARNITAS DE MICHOACAN
This is my hubby's favorite dish from his homeland (Michoacan). I found that the original recipe is too fattening. This is my revised version. You make great tacos with these carnitas. Serve them up with your favorite Mexican salsa such as pico de gallo or homemade guacamole.

Steps:
- Start with removing any excess pieces of fat from the pork.
- In a large,heavy saucepan, place the pork along with the orange zest, orange juice, cumin, bay leaves, onion, garlic and bouillon.
- Fill with water just so it barely covers the pork.
- Cover and bring to a boil over medium heat.
- Reduce heat to medium low and simmer for about 2 hours.
- Turn off the heat and allow the meat to cool and any excess fat to raise to the top.
- Remove the excess fat, and place the cooled pork in a large bowl.
- Add salt and pepper to taste.
- In a separate fry pan, heat the lard and fry the pork pieces for about 6 minutes, just so they turn golden; allow them to cool.
- Using your hands, pull the meat apart.
- In a comal over medium heat, heat the tortillas.
- Once you heated all of the tortillas, make tacos with the shredded meat and add your own favorite Mexican salsa.

- Cut the meat into large chunks, or leave it on the bone if the hunks will fit in the pot you are using. Salt them well.
- Fill your pot with the lard and heat it to about 200°F or thereabouts. You might need more than 3 quarts. Remember, you will be able to reuse this lard later, and almost all of it will stay in the pot, so fear not.
- When the lard hits temperature, add the pork. Now, there is an order to things. Different pieces cook at different rates. Longest cooking bits, in order, are: hocks, feet, tongue, heart, jowls, shoulder, ribs, hind leg, skin, belly, loins. Depending on what you are using, add the longest cooking bits in first. In general, wait 30 minutes before you put in the next item. Even loin will ultimately need 1 hour, though, so keep this in mind. Carnitas is a process.
- Once you put in the first pork item, add all the remaining ingredients and let things cook at about 195°F, more or less, until all the various piggy bits are soft and tender. Normally this takes about 4 hours, but could be more with wild hogs.
