Tomatillo Pork Roast

This Latin specialty is one of our all-time favorite tomatillo recipes. The acidity of the tomatillos tenderizes the meat until it’s falling apart, melting the marbled fat. The resulting meat can be eaten as is but we love to use it in carnitas or enchiladas topped with lots of fresh salsa, sour cream and extra Continue reading >>
