OK, sorry, this blog is not meant for politics. But it is MY blog so you have to deal. ;)
Tonight we had takeout, because I didn't have an orange to make my pork carnitas burritos. I'm putting it together in the crockpot for Saturday. I will serve it with whole wheat tortillas from Trader Joes, black beans and cheddar cheese.
Pork Carnitas
from Cooking Light
Yield: 4 cups (serving size: 1/2 cup)
*** we liked these burritos, but in the future I would kick them up a notch. I would add some more seasonings and some nice salsa to the burritos.
Cooking spray
1 cup chopped onion
3 garlic cloves, crushed
2 pounds beef stew meat, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces (i'm using a pork tenderloin, cut into 1-inch chunks)
1 cup less-sodium beef broth (I'm using vegetable broth)
1 teaspoon sugar
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1 large unpeeled orange wedge
Heat a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add onion; sauté 4 minutes or until tender. Add garlic; sauté 1 minute. Add beef; sauté 5 minutes or until beef is browned on all sides. Stir in broth, sugar, salt, and pepper; nestle orange section into beef mixture. Bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 1 1/2 hours or until beef is tender. Remove and discard orange. Continue simmering, uncovered, 8 minutes or until liquid almost evaporates, stirring frequently.
