ButcherBox | Pressure Cooker Carnitas
Y’all - I made the best carnitas EVER. Seriously, it’s the best-tasting thing I’ve made in a while and it was so easy to make! I used a five-pound bone-in pork butt that we got in our most recent ButcherBox delivery and it took less than two hours for the entire process using our Ninja Foodi pressure cooker setting.
I found the recipe for this on The Creative Bite website and I only changed up a few things! Since my pork butt was quite large, I pressure cooked it for 80 minutes and then sliced it into larger portions to pressure cook it again for another ten minutes. After shredding it all up, I used a ladle full of the juices from the pressure cooker to fry the carnitas until they were nice and crispy. Instead of tortillas, I used butter-lettuce to keep it as low-carb as I could and added some diced onion, cilantro, sour cream, and lime juice! FREAKING DELICIOUS, I tell you.
ButcherBox
I’m obsessed with ButcherBox and it’s been the perfect subscription for me, especially while on the keto diet. If you’ve never heard of it, they deliver grass-fed and grass-finished beef, free-range organic chicken, and heritage bred pork. There are never any hormones or antibiotics, they meet humane guidelines, and everything is shipped frozen.
Mr. San Diego and I been members for two months now and we love it SO much. I love knowing that I’m eating high-quality grass-finished beef. With the high amount of meat we’re eating on this diet, I’m glad it’s all antibiotic and hormone-free. You can honestly taste a difference, and there are so many benefits to eating grass-finished vs standard beef. It might seem expensive up front, but I spend less on meat now than I did when I was shopping at WholeFoods!
