This is what made me decide I could like Mexican food. YUM YUM!
Cubes of pork - 1 lb? (the measurements of this one are going to drive some of you crazy)
Tomatillos - 15-20 med.- chopped
7 oz can of chopped green chilies
1 onion - chopped
3+ cloves of garlic
2+Tbsp of "jhalapinyo" peppers (don't be afraid)
1 tsp cummin
salt and pepper
Brown pork in a little oil or butter. Very hot. Just sizzle them around till they brown a little and no pink is left. Add all the other ingredients (save salt and pepper to taste at the end) and simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 1 1/2+ hours, or until the meat falls apart and most of the liquid cooks out. Or you can put the browned meat and everything else in a crock pot on hi for 4-5 hours. Don't forget the salt and pepper. Shred up the meat the best you can and serve in hot (so they get soft) corn tortillas with cheese and sour cream. It is also really good over cheese enchiladas (cheese and corn tortillas) and baked.

hi Claire,
Your recipes look good, Lauren really like carnitas, so we might have to try this one.
btw, do you know a good pecan pie recipe? I have been looking around for one with no luck. maybe one with chocolate or some other good additive?

hmmm, didn't see that this was a group site.
No matter, question stands as it is.

No pecan pie recipes here. I've never made one in my life!
