I’m going to try to be more active on my blog and share more recipes with you, it helps keep me more accountable!
Anyways, I made carnitas in my crock pot the other day. If I had known they were this easy to make, I would’ve done it a hundred times before! So tasty!
Here are the ingredients:
3 pounds pork loin, cut into large pieces
1/2 cup fresh orange juice
Juice from 2-3 limes
Generous amount of salt and pepper
About 2 t cumin
4-5 garlic cloves
Place all the ingredients in the crock pot on low for 6-7 hours.
We had this with some fresh pico de gallo, homemade guacamole and fresh lime wedges on the side.
My other eats for the day included:
Breakfast – White sweet potato hash with eggs, peppers & onions, sausage
Lunch – All natural chicken sausage hot dog with raw carrots, cucumbers and some cashews
Drinks – Lots of water, iced green tea, iced coffee with almond milk
After dinner snack – Fresh cantaloupe

Wow, that looks very tasty. Never heard of carnitas but look well worth having a go at 😉

Boil down the liquid in the crock pot until there is about 1 cup left, toss the pieces back in to the liquid, spread the whole shebang on a baking sheet and broil until browned and crispy, about 8 minutes each side.

What do you think I could use instead of the orange juice? I need low carb, I’m on a keto diet, but I REALLY want to try carnitas.

You could use chicken broth instead of juice and maybe just add some orange zest?
