Everyone should know how to make carnitas, specifically, this make-ahead version just makes sense for the home cook. It's literally, cut up pork chunks, add salt, add water, cook until tender and crisp up beautifully. It takes about an hour and a half total, but like 10 minutes of that is active time.
