Dear Rachel, I made this dish, it was amazing! It was a big hit, ❤ I have a question was I suppose to cover the pot? 😊
Excellent video, I am cooking and watching it at the same time.
Awesome recipe! Looks delicious! So, you don’t put the lid on the pot while the carnitas are cooking?
Ohhh! One of my favorite dishes at our local Mexican restaurant. So tender and tasty. Looks awesome, Rachel ! And your salsa is like the icing on a cake.
I always enjoy my pork carnitas w/ green salsa and use red salsa w/ my beef, don’t know why just how it’s always been!
