NOPE!

Too much, too greasy, too rich.

I used too much of everything spices, salt, grnd chili pwdr (which I use),
liquid, etc, so it turned out waaaay too rich. Might have been ok if
I'd jes poured off the liquid and left it at that, but noooo.....

I hadda reduce the sauce, defat it, add back in. blah, blah. PLUS!
.....and this is a biggie, too much FAT! This was a 3.5lb boneless
organic butt roast. Waaay too fatty. I trimmed off at least 12 oz of
clean white fat and it still had plenty more (prolly good fer baking).
That's a lotta fat at $9lb. They say today's swine is way too lean.
Well, this orgo swine is eat up wit da fat. I don't like it. So, no
more orgo pork fer me. I like grass fed orgo beef, but ferget the
pork.

So, very greasy, way too rich, perfectly tender carnitas. I had some
in a flour tortilla and it was OK. I think it will work out if I make
up some fresh pico de gallo (salsa cruda) to cut the grease with.
