Crispy Pork Carnitas with Fresh Cabbage Slaw
Enjoy a vibrant twist on classic carnitas with crispy pork seasoned to perfection and paired with a refreshing cabbage slaw. This dish combines the naturally rich flavors of tender pork with the bright crunch of a zesty, herb-infused slaw for an exciting, well-balanced meal.
INGREDIENTS
5 ounces Pork Shoulder
1 cup shredded Green Cabbage
1/4 cup shredded Red Onion
1/4 cup chopped Fresh Cilantro
1/2 tbsp Lime Juice
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
Spice Mix (Salt, Pepper, Cumin, Oregano) to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat a cast iron pan over medium-high heat.
Pat the pork shoulder dry and season generously with salt, black pepper, cumin, and oregano.
Sear the pork in the hot pan along with a crushed garlic clove until deeply browned and crispy on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Reduce heat if necessary so the pork cooks through without burning.
While the pork is finishing, combine shredded green cabbage, red onion, and chopped cilantro in a bowl. Drizzle with lime juice and olive oil, and toss well to coat. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
Once the pork is cooked and crispy, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing or shredding.
Serve the crispy pork carnitas over a generous portion of fresh cabbage slaw, and enjoy.
