That they come with ribs and other parts is a bonus. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love all things banana leaves. IMO they're mobetta for tamals (taste and ease of making) ... very versatile. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony b Posted January 11, 2017 Report Share Posted January 11, 2017 I'm thinking that you could still wrap it in the banana leaves, but cook it Sous Vide - best of both worlds, perhaps!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pequod Posted January 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 After 18 hours, dump the sous vide bag in a bowl, extract the pork and shred. Now holding it in the fridge until dinner, at which point we char it up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pequod Posted January 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 Last steps. Make some tortillas: Char the pork (broiler...next time will be on KK when not freezing rain outside). Then assemble with diced white onion, charred salsa verde (homemade), cilantro, and a squeeze of lime. Outstanding! I've braised carnitas in the past, and never achieved the depth of flavor that I did with sous vide. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 I have a b-day coming up towards the end of the month. Might have to order one of these Anova SV tools. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony b Posted January 18, 2017 Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 It's the best for the price point - IMHO. There are some others out there that are a bit cheaper. I just ordered this one for my nephew's birthday. Got good reviews on Amazon. Fingers crossed. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M6AZ8CL Had I been on top of my game, I'd have remembered and gotten him the Anova when it was on sale for $99 over the holidays - DUH! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
