I cheated on BSC. I cooked the carnitas the first week March. I bought the pork roast on sale at Sprouts and it was taking up too much space in the fridge. I modified the recipe according to what I had and what I have done in the past with a another carnitas recipe. I did not use any orange juice and instead of the beef broth, I used one bottle of beer (Dos Equis to specific). I cooked it for 10 hours in the slow cooker. I served it with white rice cooked with salt and olive oil, a Trader Joe's frozen pepper onion roast mix, cheese, salsa, and guacamole. Sort of like a burrito from Chipotle.
The result?? I had three critics this time and they all agreed that the only thing it lacked was salt, but otherwise it was really good. Next time instead of using the cumin/salt mix, I will stick to using seasoning salt. I will also add a cut-up onion into the pot in addition to the garlic to give it more flavor. I will most definitely cook this again-- soo easy and soo yummy!
