CARNITAS that MELT in your mouth | Instant pot recipes | Villa Cocina

#carnitas #food #tacos
Carnitas originated in the state of Michoacán, Mexico and means “little meat.” The pork meat is slow cooked in lard until melt in your mouth tender. In this recipe we use an instant pot which does wonders. Pressure cooking drastically reduces the time it takes to cook them and infuses the meat with a TON of flavor. Also, will be rendering our own fat, such a sensational dish! no wonder its become extremely popular.

Born & raised in Tennessee but MAN do I loove this culture and their food 😍

[@Dubravko_Sabolic]

¡Ah, eres de Michoacán! ¡Me encanta! Visité Morelia hace cuatro años y amo tu país y su cultura. ❤ ¡Saludos desde Croacia!

[@jimmyholloway8527]

Just a poor white boy from S. GA but for the last 10 years (mas y minos) I've been working on my cocina skills. I've seen hours of Carnitas video from travel shows and hours of people showing how to do it at home. This looked and from the recipe seemed the closest to all those done in the giant copper pots. Using the sholder cut and the belly meat with skin separately was a great technique to achieve the sortido combination of textures and flavors. Just Great!

[@PunkFlamingos]

I'm from Colorado, and I'm proud of our pork green chile! Carnitas look delish-- gonna give it a try!

[@VillaCocina]

That sounds delicious! I’ll take a look at it 🙂

[@sleaverbar3717]

I remember being a kid in Mexico and mom and dad take us to go get like the red marinaded chicken fresh from the grill and purple onion pickled in lime juice. I will be make this recipe in my wife’s instant pot since I use it more then she does. I used to make them deep fried for a long time this easier and healthier. Thanks for the recipes.

[@wapwagon]

Also from colorado. Grew up on our green chili and its a go to for me on most dishes. Santiagos has some of the best in the state.

[@hearthfire24]

Woah was literally looking for this and it was just updated! The lord will provide 😂❤

[@VillaCocina]

😅 doesn’t he always! A carnitas provision this time!

[@M63Tod]

I just made this today, and they were sooo delicious! People, you have to try this!

[@trailerparkcryptoking5213]

Great recipe, now I know how I’m cooking the thawed pork but that’s in the fridge. I’m also going to make your pickled red onions to go with it.... Your hair is so adorable!

[@VillaCocina]

Alright! Love it! I can already picture those carnitas with the pickled red onions! Amazing!

[@davidmyers-wakeman5515]

So sad we missed the premier last night but happy to catch up today - we will definitely be making this in our instant pot! 💙✨

[@VillaCocina]

We missed you there! Be sure to come back and tell us how it went!

[@hardenizzle]

Almost exactly as I’ve been doing. I learned something from a restaurant owner they put their onions in halved and aggressively brown them in the cut off pork fat first before browning the meat. Apparently it adds “the copper pot seasoning flavor”. Carnitas is love!

[@susanbuentello2656]

I was born (and have come back to live) in San Antonio, Texas. Working class Tejanas and Mexican women-the Chili Queens-famously sold their chili con carne in cafes and on the streets near the Alamo.

[@VillaCocina]

That sounds delicious! I gotta visit Texas one day!

[@mogarcia9755]

Texas it’s a whole other country 🤣 3rd generation Texan, the fusion of the Tex-Mex Cuisine has alot of flavor..

[@jeffgoldsmith9619]

​@@VillaCocina Hey... I love your channel. Every recipe of yours that I've tried has beem amazing! I have a question: Can I use the same marinade but use beef short ribs? Or will the beef not work with this recipe? Thanks so much.

[@freewaybaby]

@@mogarcia9755 Truth! And, depending on what part of Texas you’re in will influence the cuisine, huh? Besides the Mexican influence, there’s also the Cajun dominance in the southeastern part; all in all, a real melding of many cultures that make for wonderful and eclectic culinary choices.😊

[@SouthBayFamily]

Wow

[@jennieruiz2989]

Love your video's, looks really appetizing. By the way i love your hair😊

[@VillaCocina]

Oh Thank you so much 🤗

[@mogarcia9755]

Great recipe, yes the hair, straight hair no tiene chiste 🤔

Just going over this video again to buy some stuff for it. One local dish from St. Louis, Missouri "invented" here is Gooey Butter cake. Simply fabulous. We all grew up on it.

[@elviasaldana440]

Gracias por la receta, súper fácil de hacer y deliciosa. Ya la he hecho varias veces y mis amigos les encanta

I just love watching you two enjoy that delicious food!!!!!

[@soniasierras6988]

Omg 😲 It looks super delicious 😋. Giirrll!! That's an awesome way to use your Intstant pot. I have oneeeee!! I'll definitely try this recipe 😋.

[@tinmanandoliveoylsadventur7129]

I, "Tinman," (Oliveoyl is from the Philippines), was born in Tijuana Mexico but my parents are from Jalisco, Volcanes and Talpa de Allende. My grandfather made the best Birria. When he was living in Tijuana he was contracted for weddings and quinceaneras, that kind of thing. Many people confuse barbacoa and birria. Birria is from that part of Mexico, stove top, Barbacoa is southern, more Mayan with a pit, "pib." I'm sure you know. Thank you.

[@treffditri3857]

This recipe is so killer! Thank you so much! I used all pork shoulder and tangerine instead of oranges, turned out great! I also reduced the juice from the pressure cooker down and added some of that magic to the pork before I browned it in the oven. I like everything extra juicy and extra salty, so I would not recommend that move to everyone. Thanks again!

[@cillaloves2fish688]

So cool you're using the Instant Pot for carnitas!!!! I'll be making some!! More Instant Pot recipes please!!!

[@reneamaro8476]

Carnitas has been one of my favorite foods ever. But I have never made them myself and I had a mother that didn't make or know-how. I decided to make my own and I bought it an instant pot and today Wiz result of my Carnitas dream. I have to say, with your recipe, they came out really good and probably the best I ever had. Now I would say that's pretty good since this was my first time. I also confess I've never had anybody's homemade before, just restaurant style. Thanks so much👍

[@VillaCocina]

Glad you tried them out! Great job!

[@davidbauer2929]

Wonderful video!❤❤

[@VillaCocina]

Glad you liked it!!

[@dianec3279]

These look amazing. I absolutely love the skin from pork. My mom used to boil the hocks and make this gelatinous bowl of the meat with carrots and spices. The water from the hocks would become like jello when cooled. It’s a Polish dish called Garaleta. I loved to eat it with boiled potatoes. I don’t have an instant pot but I’m sure I cold bake the carnitas in the oven. Can’t wait to try this recipe out. And yes your hair looks beautiful!!!

[@VillaCocina]

Interesting! It’s so interesting to find out about different recipes! I really enjoy it! Thanks for sharing! And thank you so much for the compliment ☺️

[@rbuenrostro]

How delicious that this is a healthier version. Not fried in Manteca. I need to try these. Thanks for all you share with us.

[@foreveryung572]

Yeah…Singapore’s signature dish is Hainanese Chicken Rice. I have yet to meet anyone from around the world who has tried it and said they don’t like it. It’s usually instant addiction! I look forward to trying your Carnitas recipe. Thanks for sharing

My hometown of Detroit is the home of Sanders hot fudge, Sanders bumpy cake and Coney Island hot dogs!

[@CandAhide50298]

I just made this today, and although I made some mistakes (put in 4 cloves garlic instead of 4 whole cloves🤦🏻‍♀️), it still came out amazing! I didn't have the Mexican oregano so I used normal oregano, but I'll have to buy that for next time, and make it right. Thank you❤️

[@hungsu9204]

[@tobysilva950]

Guess what? I made this carnitas, thanks, first of all. Carnitas Came out great 😊, I sometimes like to eat them in a torta! Just meat and salsa in a crunchy bolillo, this so far the best recipe, the color of the carnitas is great 😋😋😋,we used a ninja foodie, my cooking style,quick and few ingredients, is my turn to cook for my wife on the weekends, great help from you 🙏🙏!

I am drooling watching this video. 🤤 Carnitas is one of my favorite meats. I love Pupusas too, Nelson! That instant pot is amazing. Mine is small and not as fancy. Also not sure if I can get pork belly with the skin on. But I love the looks of this recipe and might have to upgrade my equipment just to cook it. 👍❤️
