…al pastor carnitas (whole30, paleo)
These carnitas are a mind-meld between traditional carnitas, with its slow-roasted, citrusy, buttery, fall off the bone tenderness, and al pastor, with its spicy and sweet notes. I love slow-roasted pork in all of its formations – Nom Nom Paleo’s kalua pork is on high rotation, and I’ve posted a previous Instant pot carnitas recipe – and we’re going with an Instant Pot again here for expediency. After going to Mexico City last month and eating al pastor tacos every day, I became determined to figure how to make al pastor at home. Alas, you may need a kebab-style rotating spit and gigantic amounts of pork to truly get the effect… so for me, this is the next best thing. If you too are trying to figure out how to make al pastor at home, this Instant Pot carnitas recipe brings al pastor-inspired flavors home.
