Easy oven carnitas

Ingredients

• 2-3 lbs pork shoulder, cut into 2” cubes
• 1 onion, roughly chopped

• Kosher salt, to taste
• A few tablespoons of vegetable oil

3. Add the onion to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
4. Add the pork back to the pot, along with the garlic, orange, cinnamon, ancho chile, liquid smoke, and salt. Stir together, add another tablespoon or two of vegetable oil, then drizzle a little honey on top.
5. Bake with the lid cracked for 2.5 to 3 hours, until the pork is tender.
