To make this pork carnitas formula, basically…

Make the magic sauce. Whisk together those garlicky citrus sauce fixings until joined.

Pop the heating sheet into the broiler for around 4-5 minutes, or until the edges of the pork are brilliant and fresh.

Make it zesty. Include a diced jalapeño or serrano chile pepper (seeded, for less warmth) into the Moment Pot in the event that you might want to kick things up a zesty indent.

Make it smoky. I likewise love including a diced chipotle pepper in adobo sauce (with an additional tablespoon of sauce) into the Moment Pot to make the carnitas more smoky.
