INGREDIENTS
6 oz Pork Shoulder
1 cup Green Cabbage (shredded)
1/2 medium Carrot (julienned)
1/2 medium Orange (segmented)
1/4 cup Red Onion (thinly sliced)
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Fresh Lime Juice
1 tbsp Fresh Cilantro (chopped)
1/2 tsp Ground Cumin
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat oven to 425°F. Pat the pork shoulder dry and season generously with ground cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Place the seasoned pork on a baking sheet. Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes or until the edges become crispy and the internal temperature reaches 145°F. For extra crispiness, switch to broil for the last 2-3 minutes. Once done, let it rest for a few minutes before shredding or chopping into bite-size pieces.
While the pork is roasting, prepare the bright citrus slaw. In a bowl, combine shredded green cabbage, julienned carrot, segmented orange, and thinly sliced red onion.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, fresh lime juice, and chopped cilantro. Drizzle the dressing over the slaw and toss until evenly coated. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Plate a serving by placing a generous portion of pork carnitas on the plate and top with a serving of citrus slaw. Serve immediately for a fresh, flavorful meal.
