Wild hog carnitas

[Coachs Wife]

We love wild pork carnitas! I use a roast and make them in the crockpot. The orange juice sounds good.

One of my cooks from northern Mexico turned me on to using oranges aswell as limes, I think it makes a big difference.

Can you explain the "translucent" and "deglazing" steps? I'm a noob in the kitchen.

Translucent is cooking the onions till the loose most of their color and have pulled a lot of flavor out of them. Deglazing is adding a liquid to the pot to pull the "burnt" seasonings and goodies from the bottom and sides of the pot.

Some pics from today
Browning the pre marinated hog shoulders and hams.

Searing the onions before adding the garlic.

Deglazing with fresh oranges and limes.

Adding the pork back to the citrus juice. I don't have any venison stock since I didn't shoot a dear this year so skipping it. Now to let it simmer. I'll post more pics towards finishing.

Can't forget the beer!

I'm going to have to try this in the pressure cooker. Looks like it would work great. Now just need to go get a piggy...
