Zubereitung von Chipotle Carnitas

  1. Pat a 3-4 lb pork shoulder dry with paper towels and season generously with 2 tsp salt and 1 tsp black pepper.
  2. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a Dutch oven or large oven-safe pot over medium-high heat.
  3. Sear the pork shoulder on all sides until deeply browned, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
  4. Add 1 tbsp cumin seeds to the pot and toast until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  5. Add 1 large onion, chopped, and sauté until softened and lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
  6. Add 4 cloves garlic, minced, and 2-3 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, minced (adjust to your spice preference), and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  7. Add one (28 oz) can of crushed tomatoes (with their juices), 2 bay leaves, 1 tsp dried oregano, 4 whole cloves, and 1 cup chicken stock (or water). Scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
  8. Return the pork shoulder to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer.
  9. Braise the pork until it's fall-apart tender: approximately 3-4 hours on the stovetop, 3-4 hours in a 325°F oven, or 6-8 hours on low in a slow cooker.
  10. Once tender, carefully remove the pork shoulder from the braising liquid and set aside. Remove the bay leaves, cloves, and oregano.
  11. Using an immersion blender, purée the braising liquid into a smooth sauce. If too thin, simmer uncovered until slightly reduced.
  12. Shred the pork shoulder using two forks.
  13. Return the shredded pork to the sauce, stirring to combine and heat through.
  14. Serve your delicious Chipotle Carnitas in tacos, burritos, bowls, or enjoy it as is!
