One of my favorite meats to order at a Mexican restaurant is carnitas, hands-down. The meat is rarely dry — instead, it’s juicy, flavorful, tender, and, if I’m lucky, someone took the time to crisp it up a little too. If you’re making carnitas at home, can you use any cut of pork, or is there one that works best? Carnitas is made by braising pork, usually in lard but it’s also done in broth or stock for a lighter end result.
