Real Carnitas.....pics
We are having a family get together this weekend and will be making authentic carnitas. This is the style they make around Morelia, Michoacan Mexico. I will try and document as much as posible with pictures. The pig is about 275 lbs and will give his last breath Saturday morning. If anyone has questions or would like for me to get a pic of something specific, ask away.

Well, pics of the entire process, and mebbe a few recipes, would be nice. :becky:
Who's gonna sweet talk the pig before the shot? |

In the Philippines, I've been told that a slit throat, slicing through an artery, helps for a quick kill and drains blood faster as the heart is still pumping blood out. I've never witnessed a slaughter in person but have been told this method has been used for centuries.

Can't wait to see this. Will you be making fresh tortillas and salsas to serve with the carnitas?

All I know is the method my nephew in law does. He used to do this for events in Mexico. Sometimes 6 or 7 hogs for one party. His method is rendered lard and meat. No milk or oranges, that's from different parts of the country. He is know for the very best. I am know for the only caucasion in my area that knows how to make it, and when you learn from the best its bound to be good.

My buddy's grandmother used to make tamales with the heads. Best eating ever!
