It's dinner time. Are you going to go out for Tex-Mex or Chinese? Why not stay in and have both without spending much effort or money on the meal? Think it's the stuff of pipe dreams? Think again! It's time to get out your crockpot and let it cook dinner for you!
Ever get inspired to take a tried and true recipe and give it a bit of a twist? The acquisition of some thin-cut pork chops recently became the genesis of a new method for preparing pork chops that just might become my favorite approach. So, come on, it's time to just roll with it!
Continuing our ode to slow cooking, we're taking on one of my favorite ethnic dishes of all time: carnitas. Carnitas are a Mexican specialty of seasoned pulled pork, traditionally fried in lard, with a pleasing mixture of tender and crispy browned parts. This simplified recipe avoids the deep-frying step, and takes advantage of the slow cooker's ability to produce very tender meat and pairs it with a quick trip under the broiler to produce the tender, caramelized meat that typifies proper carnitas.
Making baby back ribs isn't hard, but it is time-consuming. But don't let that stop you. Most of the time doesn't require your attention and it is oh-so worth it. And as summer gives way to fall, there's no better time to slow-roast them in the oven and then follow up with grilling. They are the perfect seasonal transition food!
