Description

Ingredients

• 5.5 - 6 pounds pork country ribs, or pork shoulder
• 1 cup orange juice
• ½ cup lime juice
• 8 whole cloves peeled garlic
• 1.5 teaspoons ground cumin
• 2 teaspoons salt
• Water

Directions

• Cut raw pork into 2 cubes and place in large non-stick dutch oven or pot.
• Add orange juice, lime juice, whole garlic cloves, ground cumin, salt, and enough water to barely cover pork pieces.
• Bring a pot to boil, cover with lid and simmer for two hours. Do not disturb the meat by stirring.
• After two hours, remove pot lid and cook meat on medium, stirring occasionally until liquid is all gone and only fat remains.
• As meat fries in rendered fat, flip meat every 3-4 minutes until most of the meat is browned.
• Taste for salt and pepper.
