Pork Carnitas with Avocado Salsa

• 500g diced pork
• 2 medium onions
• 3 dientes garlic cloves
• 2 ripe avocados
• 1/2 cup of lemon juice
• al gusto salt and black pepper

👨‍🍳 Step-by-step instructions

1. 1

   Step 1: In a large pot, heat some oil over medium heat and sauté the onion and garlic until they're soft. Then, add the pork and cook until it's browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Add enough water to cover the meat and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cook for about 30 minutes or until the meat is tender.

2. 2

   Step 2: While the meat is cooking, prepare the avocado salsa. In a blender, combine the peeled avocados, lemon juice, a bit of salt and pepper, and blend until smooth. Add this salsa to the pot with the meat and mix well. Cook for a few more minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

💡 Chef's tip

To get the meat really tender and easy to shred, it's crucial not to overcook it. The key is to cook it over low heat for a good amount of time, which helps break down the fibers and retain the juices. Additionally, the exact cooking point is when the meat reaches 90°C inside, ensuring it's cooked but not dry.
