Carnitas

Directions

Place pork, broth, onion, coriander, cumin, oregano, chilies if using, and bay leaves in a 5 to 6 quart pan.

Add enough water to just cover the meat.

Cover the pan and bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until meat pulls apart easily with a fork (3 to 4 hours).

Lift out meat (reserve broth for other uses, if desired).

Discard fat.

Place pork in a large roasting pan and bake, uncovered, in a 450℉ (230℃) oven until sizzling and browned (about 20 minutes).

Pull off chunks of meat and shred with 2 forks, discarding fat.
