Recipes for Pork Carnitas and Tomatillo Salsa (Salsa Verde)

Pork Carnitas

These are both repeats but WORTH repeating!  First the pork carnitas.  Keep an eye out for pork roasts on sale and this is cheap gourmet!  I usually cut a roast in half and just cook up half at a time. Hint, if you’re working with the half you froze before don’t defrost it all the way. It’s much easier to cube the pork when it’s still partially frozen.
Last time I made the tomatillo salsa I didn’t have the pickled jalapeno. I found some in a can at Safeway and added two pieces to the recipe tonight. Definitely kicks it up a notch!
