This is a simple yet amazingly delicious recipe. Everyone will want to take some leftovers. Ingredients:
4 lbs boneless country-style ribs |
2 cups water |
1 1/2 cups orange juice |
6 garlic cloves, chopped |
2 teaspoons sea salt, more to taste |
1 teaspoon orange zest |
1 (16 ounce) jar tomatillo salsa |
Directions:
1. Cut the Pork crosswise into at least thirds. Combine and mix Pork, water, Orange Juice, Garlic, Salt and Orange Zest in a Deep very large skillet or a Dutch Oven. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and Simmer for at least 1 hr and 45 minutes or until the pork is so tender that it is falling apart. Stir and add more water as necessary to keep the pork partially submerged, although I've never had to do this.
2. Transfer to a skillet if you used a Dutch Oven. You may need to drain off some of the liquid at this point. You will want to break up the Pork into small pieces and boil off the remaining liquid until the pork starts to brown and get crispy edges.
3. Serve with Tomatillo Salsa (Smoky, Spicy Tomatillo Salsa Verde Aka Green Hell! is fantastic!), Corn Tortillas and whatever other fixings you like.
