That's now the end of the dressing 2016As I mentioned when I make the dressing, I make lots and freeze it in quart zip lock bags. One of our favorite year round meals is making two mounds of defrosted dressing in a bake pan, and topping the mounds with two well seasoned skillet browned chicken thighs, finishing in the oven. The juices from the thighs into the dressing is spectacular, just like a stuffed bird. A gravy can be made with the fond in the skillet for mashed potatoes. Yummy!!
I made pork carnitas for the first time. They were OK, but nothing special. I did them in the slow cooker (a Cuisanart Multi-Cooker) with the following recipe, and put the meat under the broiler for 10 minutes. Not sure if I'll try again.

I've made this recipe before, tenspeed. No broiling required. I do cut the cumin down way low, as it gives me heartburn. Mexican Slow Cooker Pork Carnitas TacosI made pork carnitas for the first time. They were OK, but nothing special...
Hi, tenspeed. It might not be traditional, but I like a little more moisture to carnitas. It sounds like 10 minutes under the broiler was a bit too much.
If you try it again, cut the pork shoulder up into about 2-inch chunks so that the seasonings can get into the meat better. I also brown my pork chunks before braising.
