Carnitas Mexican Pork Crisps
This is one of the most easily prepared dishes ever created.
Trim fat from fresh pork shoulder or meaty spareribs and cut into 1-1/2 inch cubes.
Cook on baking sheet in preheated 200 F oven until cubes are crisp, 1-1/2 to 2 hours.
Serve with sauce piquante or guacamole.
Sauce Piquante
(about 1/2 cup)
3 tbsp hot red pepper flakes
1/2 tsp cayenne
1/4 cup olive oil
1 tsp paprika
3 or 4 saffron shreds
Crush red pepper flakes with a mortar and pestle. Add cayenne and enough boiling water to make a paste. Stir in remaining ingredients and let stand until ready to use.
